🌟 Editor’s Note

Hey — hope January’s settling in.

This week’s issue starts with a surprisingly useful addition: Photoshop edits inside ChatGPT. You upload an image, describe what you want changed, and the edit happens properly in the background. I’ve been using it for screenshots, slides, and simple content images where I just want things to look clean without turning it into a project.

There’s also a different way to think about how you’re working this year. Instead of leaning on motivation or big plans, the prompt focuses on constraints and the real limits shaping your days. It’s a small shift, but it changes how progress actually sticks.

And if you’ve been looking for a clear, realistic idea to work on, the simple website service is worth a look. It’s about helping real businesses finally have a clear page that explains what they do and how to reach them. AI handles most of the groundwork. You guide the final shape.

In this issue, you’ll find:

  • Fireflies, a way to turn meetings into notes you can use

  • A straightforward way to edit images using real Photoshop inside ChatGPT

  • A prompt to rethink your setup this year, not just your goals

  • A repeatable idea for helping local businesses finish their websites

  • A few AI updates from CES that hint at where things are heading

Curious to hear what stands out for you this week.

⚒️ Tool of the Week

Most meetings aren’t the issue. Forgetting what came out of them is.

Fireflies joins your calls quietly and takes care of the note-taking. When the meeting ends, you’ve got a written record of what was discussed, what was decided, and what needs to happen next, without anyone scrambling to type while trying to listen.

You invite Fireflies to Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams. It listens. Afterwards, it delivers a transcript, a short summary, and a list of action items. Simple.

Instead of relying on memory or half-written notes, you can:

  • Skim a clean summary in minutes

  • Jump to the exact moment something was said

  • Search past meetings by topic or keyword

  • Share the recap instead of writing a follow-up email

It’s especially useful for client calls, internal catch-ups, and onboarding conversations where details matter but attention should stay on the discussion, not the keyboard.

The bigger shift isn’t AI notes. It’s fewer things living in people’s heads.

Fireflies turns conversations into something you can return to later, without guessing what was agreed.

🚀 Simple Automation

⚙️ Simple Automation — Editing Images with Photoshop Inside ChatGPT

Photoshop now runs inside ChatGPT.

That means you can upload an image, type @photoshop, and describe the edit you want. ChatGPT passes your request to Photoshop and applies real adjustments behind the scenes.

You’re not using a fake filter or a shortcut tool. These are proper Photoshop edits like exposure, contrast, selective changes, effects, just without menus, panels, or guesswork.

You talk in outcomes. Photoshop handles the tools.

Each request becomes its own adjustable step, so nothing is destructive. You can tweak intensity, undo changes, or stack multiple edits without starting over.

What it’s good at:

This works best for everyday image tasks:

  • Fixing lighting and colour

  • Making a subject stand out from the background

  • Cleaning up phone photos or screenshots

  • Applying subtle styles (grain, halftone, monochrome)

  • Preparing images for posts, slides, or documents

It’s not meant to replace full Photoshop for heavy design work. It’s meant to ease from the edits you do all the time.

How to use it:

  1. Upload an image

  2. Type @photoshop

  3. Describe one change at a time

A reliable sequence that works almost every time

  • Fix exposure and white balance. Keep it natural.

  • Increase contrast slightly without crushing shadows.

  • Make the subject stand out from the background. No harsh edges.

  • Add subtle grain for texture.

Each line becomes a separate step you can adjust later.

Practical ways people are using it:

Profiles and headshots

  • Clean lighting

  • Neutral background

  • Natural skin tones

Product or service visuals

  • Clear subject focus

  • Consistent look across images

  • Quick variations for different platforms

Content images

  • Screenshots that look intentional

  • Phone photos cleaned for posts

  • Simple visual styles repeated weekly

Internal work

  • Slides

  • Docs

  • Knowledge bases

  • SOP screenshots

Anywhere an image needs to look “thought through” without becoming a project.

A simple reusable prompt you can save:

"@photoshop Improve this image so it looks clean and professional. Adjust exposure and contrast gently. Make the main subject clearer than the background. Keep colours realistic and avoid heavy effects."

Use it as a baseline, then add extra instructions if needed.

💬 Prompt of the Week — Copy, Paste & Go

💬 Prompt of the Week — “Design Your Constraints, Don’t Chase Goals”

This prompt is useful heading into 2026 because it ignores motivation and focuses on structure. Instead of asking what you want from the year, it looks at what your time, energy, attention, and environment currently allow, and changes the one constraint that matters most.

"You are my Constraint Architect. Step 1: Ask me for one outcome I want next year. Step 2: Identify the 3–5 strongest constraints shaping my current behaviour. Step 3: Explain how each one blocks progress in real life. Step 4: Choose the single constraint that matters most and redesign it into a simple rule or system. Step 5: Create one yes/no question I can ask daily to check if the constraint is still in place."

🔥 Weekly AI News

🤖 Nvidia unveils the Vera Rubin AI platform at CES 2026

At CES 2026, NVIDIA revealed its next-generation AI platform called Vera Rubin, designed to significantly boost performance and efficiency for advanced AI workloads. Rubin goes beyond typical chips by co-designing processors with networking and data-flow components to handle large AI models more efficiently. Big tech players like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta are already planning early adoption of the system this year.

Why it matters:

Vera Rubin is shaping up to be the foundation for the next wave of AI tools and assistants, the kind that will run more powerful models faster and more consistently. For creators and small teams, it signals a shift toward smoother, higher-quality AI outputs as these platforms become more capable under the hood.

🧠 Google extends Gemini with interactive TV features and car AI

At CES 2026, Google announced upgrades to its AI assistant Gemini that go beyond chat and search. Gemini is now being integrated into Google TV with features like Nano Banana and Veo 3 for richer visual interaction, plus extended partnerships with Qualcomm aimed at bringing AI agents into cars.

Why it matters:

AI isn’t staying in apps and browsers. It’s showing up in everyday screens and vehicles. For small teams and creators, this underscores how AI assistance is moving into the spaces people use most — living rooms and commutes, not just desktops. Expect AI to begin suggesting context-aware actions more naturally in environments beyond your laptop.

📈 OpenAI’s device manufacturing shifts to Foxconn

According to recent reporting, OpenAI has moved the manufacturing of its first consumer AI hardware project, codenamed “Gumdrop” from one supplier to Foxconn. The change reflects concerns about supply chain risks and signals that the company is serious about scaling production and diversifying where this hardware is built.

Why it matters:

This move hints that AI isn’t just software anymore, and that hardware is becoming part of how companies plan to deliver everyday assistance. Consumer-friendly AI devices (ones that live outside phones and laptops) could start becoming practical this year. For readers thinking about how AI integrates into daily life, this is an early sign that dedicated AI devices are closer than they might feel.

💰 Idea for Innovators

💻 Simple Websites for Real Businesses

This is a straightforward service where you help small businesses put a proper website in place without long projects or complex builds.

You use AI-assisted website builders to turn a few basic details about a business into a clean, usable site. The AI helps with structure and layout.

Most of these businesses already exist online through Google Maps or social profiles. They just don’t have a clear home base that explains what they do and how to contact them. You step in, shape a simple site, and hand them something that works.

From there, the process stays intentionally light: one page, clear sections, and wording that sounds like a real person, not a brochure.

How you find the work:

Open Google Maps and search for businesses in a local area:

  • Cafés

  • Trades

  • Studios

  • Consultants

  • Clinics

Look for listings that:

  • Don’t have a website listed

  • Link to a broken or outdated page

  • Rely only on Instagram or Facebook

These businesses already want to be found. They just haven’t set up a clear place to send people.

What you offer:

You offer to build a simple, clear website that explains:

  • What they do

  • Who it’s for

  • How to get in touch

How you build it:

You don’t start from a blank screen.

You use AI-assisted tools to speed things up:

  • Describe the business in plain language

  • Generate a starting layout

  • Adjust the wording so it sounds natural

  • Tidy the structure so it’s easy to scan

Tools like Lovable, Replit, or Base44 help you move quickly, but your value is choosing what stays, what goes, and what actually makes sense.

Why this works:

For the business owner, this feels simple:

“Someone finally handled the website.”

They don’t need to learn anything or make dozens of decisions. They answer a few questions, and a site appears.

How to start small:

Begin with a one-page site, clear headline, short sections, contact details

Once it’s live, many owners ask for small updates later. That’s how this grows quietly over time.

This works because you’re not selling a website. You’re helping a real business finish something they’ve been meaning to do for a long time.

🎯 This Weeks Takeaway

That’s this week.

Nothing overwhelming. Just a handful of ideas that help in places most people already spend time: editing images, following up after meetings, setting direction for the year, and finishing work that’s been sitting half-done.

If you take one thing from this issue, let it be this:

AI works best when it supports the work you’re already doing, not when it asks you to change how you think or work.

Try one small thing:

  • Run a photo through Photoshop inside ChatGPT instead of opening five tools

  • Let Fireflies handle notes so your next meeting actually leads somewhere

  • Sketch a simple website for a real business that doesn’t have one, using one of the tools

Thanks again for reading and sticking with PromptWire. I’ll be back soon with the next issue.

Till next time,
