Five major events of the week, told for what went right. Each names the outlets that reported it.

A physics Nobel for listening to the universe through ice
Francis Halzen won the Nobel prize in physics for turning an enormous block of ice at the south pole into a detector for neutrinos, the ghost-like particles that reach Earth from outer space. The IceCube detector has given astronomers a new way to observe the cosmos.

Medicine prize for the light switch that maps the brain

Learn AI

Three things to try this week, whichever assistant you use.

Give it a job, not a question
Say who it should be and what you need back. A clear role, a clear audience and a clear format do more than a clever question.
Try
You are an editor. Cut this to 80 words for a newsletter reader, and keep every number.
Ask where each fact came from
When the answer matters, ask the model to list the facts it used and the source of each. Anything it cannot source is a claim to check, not a fact to repeat.
Try
List each factual claim in your answer, with where it comes from. Mark any you are unsure of.
Keep the prompts that work
Save a prompt that gave you a good result, with an example of what it produced. Starting from a tested prompt is faster, and the results are more consistent.
Try
Here is a prompt that worked and the result I liked. Use the same approach for this new task.

New technology, and the problem it solves

Announcements from EVOKE's own businesses, written by the company — not news reporting.

Product photos without the photo shoot

The problem: A seller with one photo of a product needs many: other angles, the product in use, a short video, and words for the listing. Each usually means another shoot or another supplier.
What it does: EVOKE Tools turns a single image into new angles, lifestyle scenes and 360° video, and writes the product description and search tags to go with them.
