đź§ Big Tech Wants Your Data, Your Search, Your Tools
From Siri’s AI takeover to OpenAI’s billion-dollar buy and Claude’s new data grab, the stakes for how we use and train AI just got higher.
The Simplest Way To Create and Launch AI Agents
Imagine if ChatGPT and Zapier had a baby. It’d be ridiculously smart… and probably named Lindy.
With Lindy, you can spin up AI agents in minutes to handle all the stuff you’d rather not—like lead qual, cold outreach, web scraping, and other “ugh” tasks. It’s like hiring a whole team that never sleeps, never complains, and never asks for PTO.
Lindy’s agents are ready to take on support tickets, data entry, lead enrichment, scheduling, and more. All so you can get back to the fun part: building your business.
Ready to hand off the busy work? Build your first AI agent today and join thousands of businesses already saving time (and sanity) with automation that actually works.

This week’s updates aren’t small shifts. They’re big plays.
Claude is keeping your data for years unless you opt out.
OpenAI just dropped $1.1B on Statsig to speed up ChatGPT development.
And Siri is about to turn into a full-on AI search engine—with Google possibly behind the curtain.
Here’s what matters right now 👇

1.🔥Claude Changes the Data Rules

Claude isn’t just updating features. It’s rewriting the rules.
Anthropic now says your chats, code, and projects could be kept and used to train AI for up to five years—across Free, Pro, Max, and even Claude Code.
The default setting is “on,” and the opt-out is tucked away in a pop-up most people will likely miss. That’s a sharp shift from their old promise of deleting data after 30 days.
This isn’t a tweak. It’s a fundamental change in how your data fuels the model.

2.đź’° OpenAI Just Bought Statsig for $1.1B

OpenAI just closed a $1.1 billion stock deal to acquire Statsig.
The startup’s CEO is now OpenAI’s CTO of Applications, taking charge of engineering for ChatGPT, Codex, and the core systems millions rely on. Statsig’s Seattle crew isn’t moving—they’ll keep their own tools running for existing customers.
This isn’t speculation. The team that built rapid experimentation tools is now running the engine behind OpenAI’s flagship products.

3.📱 Apple Wants Siri to Search the Whole Web

Apple’s Siri is getting a massive AI search upgrade next spring with something called World Knowledge Answers.
It’ll pull in summaries from across the web—mixing text, images, videos, and even local info—like ChatGPT or Perplexity, but baked straight into iPhones, Safari, and Spotlight.
Rumor is, some of this might even run on Google’s Gemini.
Some see it as the smartest Siri yet. Others wonder if Google powering Apple’s search breaks trust.
Would you trust Apple more—or less—if Google is behind Siri’s brain?
