Good morning, AI enthusiasts. Over 40M people already ask ChatGPT medical questions every day — and now, OpenAI is making those conversations even more personal.

In today’s AI rundown:

  • OpenAI’s dedicated Health experience

  • Utah’s AI renews prescriptions autonomously

  • Automate email expense tracking with Claude

  • Lenovo’s new cross-device AI assistant

  • 4 new AI tools, community workflows, and more

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

OPENAI

The Rundown: OpenAI just introduced ChatGPT Health, a new private experience within the chatbot that lets users pull in their medical records and fitness app data to allow health conversations — drawing on personal context instead of generic advice.

The details:

  • The feature taps into platforms like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Peloton, with a b.well integration letting users import records from healthcare providers.

  • Health chats will get their own isolated memory and stronger encryption for privacy, with OAI committing not to use those conversations to train models.

  • OAI recently released data showing that 40M+ users turn to the platform daily for health info like symptom checks, insurance queries, and more.

  • A waitlist opens today with broader web and iOS access expected soon — though pulling in actual medical records is only available to U.S. users for now.

Why it matters: OpenAI is moving on yet another overarching vertical, joining education and shopping — but the stakes in healthcare are obviously higher. With the AI prescriptions refill news (see below) and AI devices gaining FDA traction, Health drops right as the tech feels on the cusp of gaining some serious new medical powers.

AI & MEDICINE

The Rundown: Utah just became the first state to let an AI system legally approve prescription refills on its own, partnering with health-tech startup Doctronic to give patients with chronic conditions a faster path to routine medication renewals.

The details:

  • The system covers 191 drugs, including blood pressure meds, birth control, and SSRIs — with pain management, ADHD treatments, and injectables off-limits.

  • When tested against 500 urgent care cases, the AI's decisions aligned with doctors' 99% of the time, with edge cases rerouted to human doctors.

  • Doctronic will charge $4 / refill, and is fielding interest from Texas, Arizona, and Missouri — with leadership predicting a dozen states could follow in 2026.

  • The timing aligns with a broader federal push, with the FDA also announcing relaxed rules for low-risk health wearables at CES 2026.

Why it matters: As we’ve seen with ChatGPT’s massive usage numbers for healthcare, a major transition is already underway in medicine — and giving AI the ability to handle prescriptions is the first step towards crossing an impactful line from providing information to actually making medical decisions and streamlining care.

AI TRAINING

The Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to track and label your expenses from Gmail to Google Sheets in minutes with Claude for Chrome, a simple way to use Claude as a personal assistant without complex automation chains.

Step-by-step:

  1. Install Claude in Chrome extension, then create a Google Sheet with headers: Expense Title, Company, Amount, Date, Renewal Date, and copy the link

  2. In a new Chrome tab, click Extensions → Claude to see your current tab highlighted (Claude can work in any highlighted tabs it opens)

  3. Prompt: "Go through my inbox and find subscriptions from [Month + Year]. Navigate to [SHEET], fill each row with extracted data, with total at the bottom”

  4. Let Claude run for 10-15 minutes (prompt it to continue if you have many emails)—save prompt as a shortcut by typing / → "Create shortcut"

Pro tip: Once you have a shortcut set up, you can have it run daily or weekly on a schedule to keep your expense tracking fully automated.

LENOVO

The Rundown: Lenovo just announced Qira at CES 2026, a system-level AI assistant designed to follow users between its PCs and Motorola phones for “Personal Ambient Intelligence” with context across devices.

The details:

  • Qira’s system combines Microsoft and OAI cloud models, Stability AI for image generation, and integrations for Notion and Perplexity.

  • The assistant runs in the background by default, tracking users’ work to surface relevant files and suggestions when you switch devices mid-task.

  • Day-to-day capabilities include composing messages in a user’s style, live meeting notes with translation, proactive actions, and catch-up recaps.

  • Select Lenovo PCs get Qira this quarter, with Motorola phones and a dedicated keyboard key coming later in 2026.

Why it matters: Lenovo ships more PCs globally than anyone else, which means Qira is about to be pre-installed on millions of devices. That kind of built-in distribution is the one advantage most AI companies would kill for, but it’s fair to wonder whether anyone is asking for another unique assistant in an already crowded field.

COMMUNITY

Every newsletter, we showcase how a reader is using AI to work smarter, save time, or make life easier.

Today’s workflow comes from reader Adlin H. in New York, NY:

"I had ACL reconstructive surgery and need to go through a rigorous 20+ week PT plan to… get back to sports activities. I received a 6-page document targeted for the PT professional with full-on medical jargon.

To better understand my custom program and track progress, I uploaded the document to ChatGPT 5.2 Thinking mode, prompting it to create a 20-week grid to help break down the plan into easy-to-digest language and weekly session tracking. Now I have a digital progress tracker in a format I can easily update from my phone and understand."
