Welcome to the Friday edition of our newsletter. We spend Fridays going deeper into tools and trends related to generative AI (and Tuesdays sharing news updates).

Here’s what we’ll cover in next week’s Hot GPT Summer

To quote Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Which is exactly why Innovation Profs hits the pause button three times a year to look back on the incredible advancements we’ve seen in the world of generative AI. In May, we celebrate the end of the school year with our annual Hot GPT Summer - a free, virtual event to catch you up on the AI news from the last five months.

Here’s what we will cover

You'll hear about model updates, the rise of agentic AI, dozens of new Claude features, how ChatGPT got its groove back and more. We’ll also share some of the ways we have been using AI tools in 2026.
