JANUARY 23, 2026

TODAY: Of course, the top news is the Snowmageddon that's about to hit many of us. However, that's not why you're here, so never fret. We've got plenty of news, prompts, and tools to go over, no matter what Mother Nature has on tap.

Among them, Apple is finally taking tangible steps to improve Siri and get in on the AI-native device market. The tech giant plans to roll out an AirTag-sized AI pin with dual cameras at an undisclosed date, and is in the process of changing Siri from something occasionally useful into a ChatGPT-styled chatbot.

In other news, Meta will release new models this month, and the FIMO tool has gone live, allowing you to collaborate in real-time with your team to build a website, similar to how you might make changes in a Google Doc.

That's only the tip of the iceberg today, though, friends. Jump in below!

TRY THESE! More Than a Dozen New Prompts to Improve Your Workflows, Rebuild Focus, and Do More with Less; and How Simplifying Your Prompts Can Improve Your Results

• ​Two Simple ChatGPT Setups For Workflow Triage: OP uses an “Idea → Execution Translator” prompt to convert rough notes into grouped next steps, plus one persistent “inbox” chat where they paste unfinished stuff. ChatGPT then surfaces priorities, drafts replies, and produces weekly reviews from the accumulated context.
• ​Seven ChatGPT Prompts To Rebuild Focus: Collection of seven prompts for attention repair: scanning what’s breaking focus, a 90-second reset, reframing distractions, defining a deep-work container, tying focus to body/energy, clearing mental clutter, and building long-term attention capacity instead of relying on brute willpower.
• ​Six Prompts For Doing Less With Impact: Shares six copy-paste prompts designed to cut busywork: designing minimum-effort plans, hunting shortcuts, filtering low-value tasks, focusing on single decisive actions, learning faster with targeted questions, and stopping over-polishing work that doesn’t need perfection.
• ​Tiered System Prompt For Concise, Rigorous Replies: Reusable instruction block that kills fluff. It bans emojis and hype, defines “quick” vs “deep” response modes, enforces assumption-tracking, keeps revisions at an 8th-grade reading level, and emphasizes question-economy plus explicit consequences for money, safety, or legal topics.
• ​Why Over-Detailed Prompts Hurt Model Performance: Author explains how stuffing prompts with every thought creates “contextual noise” and instruction dilution. Proposes a “sandwich” pattern: concise task and constraints at the top and bottom, raw data in the middle, so the model keeps priorities in its active attention window.

HIGHLIGHTS: ​Apple is developing AirTag-sized AI pin with dual cameras, turning Siri into a ChatGPT-like Chatbot; Meta to release new models this month; AI to create jobs for plumbers and electricians, says Nvidia head; and ​NeurIPS research papers contained 100+ AI-hallucinated citations

FIMO Lets You Collaborate for Real-Time Site Building

Fimo is built for teams that want a website they can continuously improve without breaking what’s live.

You work in a private “Preview” workspace where edits appear instantly for collaborators, while Production stays stable as a read‑only snapshot until you publish. It also includes a real-time CMS (so you can fix copy, swap images, and manage content in one place without burning AI credits on tiny edits), plus one‑click publishing that deploys the current Preview state as your new live snapshot.

If your website is a living asset—not a one-time project—Fimo is designed to make iteration feel safe, fast, and collaborative.
