In partnership with
Google flipped the switch on a new AI shopping protocol. Its UCP lets agents handle the entire shopping process: discovery, checkout, support... all in one place.
What's on FIRE 🔥
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HUBSPOT
76+ new and 22+ notable app updates were recently added to the HubSpot Marketplace.
This latest wave of innovation isn’t just about new features – it’s a roundup of must-try AI & automation apps that pair well with HubSpot.
AI INSIGHTS
At the 2026 National Retail Federation (NRF) conference, Google launched Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).
It’s a new open standard built with Shopify, Walmart, Etsy, Target, and Wayfair that lets AI agents handle the entire commerce flow across platforms.
And it’s all built to run inside Gemini AI + Google Search (AI Mode) soon. While searching on Google or Gemini, you’ll be able to:
See U.S.-based product listings + Checkout right from search results
Pay using Google Pay or PayPal + Auto-fill shipping info from Google Wallet
Brands can now trigger live discounts during your AI-powered shopping chat. Merchants can now embed AI-powered Business Agents inside Google Search to answer customer questions.
Google’s also upgrading Merchant Center with new data attributes to help sellers surface better inside AI results.
On the same day, Shopify dropped its own AI checkout integration with Microsoft Copilot so customers can buy directly inside chat-based shopping experiences. It seems like e-commerce & healthcare are the hottest sectors right now.

You Can't Automate Good Judgement
AI promises speed and efficiency, but it’s leaving many leaders feeling more overwhelmed than ever.
The real problem isn’t technology.
It’s the pressure to do more with less — without losing what makes your leadership effective.
BELAY created the free resource 5 Traits AI Can’t Replace & Why They Matter More Than Ever to help leaders pinpoint where AI can help and where human judgment is still essential.
At BELAY, we help leaders accomplish more by matching them with top-tier, U.S.-based Executive Assistants who bring the discernment, foresight, and relational intelligence that AI can’t replicate.
That way, you can focus on vision. Not systems.

AI BREAKTHROUGH
GPT-5.2 Pro solved an unsolved Erdős math problem, Problem #397, a decades-old question about binomial coefficients. And the kicker, Terence Tao, the world’s most respected mathematician, confirmed it.
Neel Somani prompted GPT-5.2 with Erdős Problem #397. GPT responded with a solution → Aristotle cleaned up the logic and converted it into Lean → Tao reviewed and confirmed the proof was valid.
Now, this wasn’t the first time. GPT-5.2 has also solved Problems #728 and #729. And each of those has been formally verified too. That makes 3 down… ~660 to go.
Back in 2025, there was controversy around GPT “solving math” because it mostly just resurfaced known solutions buried in its training data.
So, is AI the new math prodigy? Kind of but with limits.
GPT-5.2 still struggles badly (~25% success rate) when it comes to more abstract, open-ended math that requires deep insight.
In every one of those fields, there are "Erdős-style" problems, known bottlenecks people talk about but haven’t cracked. Now you can hand those to AI and say: "Try this."
