Daily TEA – AI Workflows, SATs, and Wearable Pins

Notion agents, AI-native orgs, OpenAI overhang, SAT Gemini, Apple AI pin

Hello, dear TEA-mates—here’s what you need to know today.

1.🧩 Notion Expands Agents, MCPs, and Operational Automation

Notion is testing an expanded Custom Agent platform that adds new connectors, user-managed custom MCPs, and deeper integrations with tools like Slack, Cursor, Linear, and Ramp, positioning it as a central automation hub for teams. Upcoming features include Notion Calendar and Notion Mail connectors so agents can automatically respond to events and emails, plus new interface sections like Feed, Library, and Workers for managing sync databases, automations, and integrations via an npm-based developer workflow. Notion is also developing AI co-editing features and “computer use” agents capable of interacting with virtual machines, file systems, and browser sessions, aiming to support more advanced, end-to-end operational workflows across internal and external systems.

🫖 TEA For Thought: Notion AI is definitely on fire, on its way to becoming a Google and Microsoft replacement and a one-stop shop for all work tools.

2.🏢 Deloitte: AI Adoption Without True AI-Native Workflows

Deloitte’s 2026 State of AI report finds many companies are prioritizing “AI fluency” and skills programs but are slower to redesign core workflows, roles, and structures around AI capabilities. Despite widespread expectations for automation, 84% of companies have not redesigned jobs or the nature of work itself around AI, and insufficient worker skills are seen as the biggest barrier to integrating AI into the business. While most organizations focus on educating employees to raise AI fluency, far fewer are rearchitecting roles, workflows, and career paths, and only about 42% of leaders believe their AI strategy is highly prepared for adoption.

🫖 TEA For Thought: Companies are focused on building AI fluency instead of redesigning work around AI—rethinking workflows, structures, and organizations to become truly AI-native is something every company, from startups to large enterprises, should do.

3.⚠️ OpenAI Flags “Capability Overhang” Ahead of Davos

Ahead of Davos, OpenAI is preparing to unveil plans to help everyday users unlock more of ChatGPT’s capabilities, noting that the system is advancing quickly while most people still use only a small fraction of its power. OpenAI estimates ChatGPT has been roughly doubling the length and complexity of tasks it can handle every seven months, raising concerns about a growing “capability overhang” between what the model can do and how it is actually used in practice.

🫖 TEA For Thought: The future is already here—it is just distributed unevenly.

4.🎓 Google Brings Free SAT Practice Tests to Gemini

Google is partnering with The Princeton Review to offer full-length, no-cost SAT practice tests directly inside the Gemini app, giving students standardized test prep grounded in rigorously vetted content. Learners can take on-demand practice exams, receive immediate feedback on strengths and weaknesses, and ask Gemini to explain answers and build customized study plans, with support for additional exams planned beyond the SAT.

🫖 TEA For Thought: The future of education will never be the same; everyone can learn almost anything from home, and schools may increasingly serve primarily as spaces for social experience.

5.📎 Apple Reportedly Building a Wearable AI Pin

Apple is reportedly developing a wearable AI pin that resembles a thicker AirTag and includes two cameras (standard and wide-angle), three microphones, a speaker, and magnetic wireless charging, positioning it as a new on-body AI device. The project, said to be in early stages and potentially launching as soon as 2027, comes alongside plans to revamp Siri into a chatbot-style assistant powered by generative AI, signaling a broader AI push even as Apple navigates privacy concerns with a device that can continuously capture audio and video. (Read More)

🫖 TEA For Thought: The failure of the Humane AI Pin was only yesterday; it is unclear how people will react if Apple now rolls out something similar—or almost the exact same concept.
