Welcome to your weekly Brew & AI
Each week, I’ll share one blog, one tool, and one tip to make sense of AI - no jargon, no hype, just simple insights you can actually use.
Grab your coffee - let’s dive in. 👇
☕ AI in the news
🌐 ChatGPT Atlas: OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas - its first AI-powered web browser built entirely around ChatGPT.
Atlas combines browsing and conversation, letting users ask questions, summarize pages, perform searches, and even automate tasks like shopping or booking through an “Agent Mode”, all within the browser.
🛍 Lovable + Shopify integration: Lovable’s new Shopify integration lets anyone build and launch an AI-generated Shopify store in minutes, without coding or design work.
It handles everything from storefront creation to checkout setup, and offers a free 30-day Shopify trial through Lovable.
👨🏭 Claude agent skills: Claude Skills are customizable folders of instructions or code that let Claude handle specialized tasks, like making spreadsheets or following brand guidelines, across Claude apps and API.
You can build, share, and use these Skills easily for your own workflows, making Claude more efficient and tailored to your needs.
☕ Tool of the week
This week, we’re focusing on what has quickly become my favorite tool - Cursor.
Think of Cursor as your coding companion that speaks your language - a senior developer sitting beside you who understands your codebase inside and out.
Unlike basic autocomplete tools, Cursor reads your entire project and learns your patterns. It is supercharged with predictive editing, natural language commands, and context-aware suggestions that actually understand what you're trying to build.
Ideal for solo founders looking to launch their MVP.
Highly recommend giving it a go for any idea you’ve in your mind. Hit Plan mode, let it come up with the plan, and then just hit build.

☕ Tip of the week
If you’re in marketing, consulting, product or any job that requires you to research often, then this is for you.
You spend 90+ minutes researching a topic across 23 browser tabs. Now you need to collate everything into a coherent brief for your team, but you're staring at a mess of overlapping information, contradictory claims, and half-remembered insights. Manually cross-referencing sources and building a structured summary will take another hour.
Use Claude's extended context window to upload all your research at once, then use a structured extraction prompt that compares sources, identifies consensus vs. debate, and organizes findings into a decision-ready brief.
I've been researching [TOPIC] and have gathered content from multiple sources below. Please analyze and create a structured research brief:
[PASTE ALL ARTICLE TEXT, PRODUCT PAGES, AND NOTES HERE]
Generate a brief with these sections:
1. Consensus Findings: What do most/all sources agree on?
2. Debated Points: Where do sources disagree? Include the split (e.g., "60% say X, 40% say Y")
3. Contradictory Claims: Highlight direct conflicts and possible reasons
4. Research Gaps: What important questions remain unanswered?
5. Actionable Recommendations: Based on the evidence, what should we do? Rank options by strength of evidence.
For each point, cite which sources support it (e.g., "Source 2, 5, 7").More tips here
💛 P.S.
That’s it for this week’s brew.
I’d love to hear what you think - what you liked, what could be better, or what you’d love to see next.
Just hit reply - I read every message over my morning coffee ☕.
