GUIDE
👋 Good morning.
Twenty-five Fields Medalists, Terence Tao among them, signed a declaration on Friday calling AI's rush to solve famous math problems "a severe misalignment," per TechCrunch. The trigger: OpenAI's 10,000-agent swarm cracking a special case of Navier-Stokes. Their point is that a correct answer is not the same as understanding. The machine got the proof. The humans kept the plot.

3 AI updates
Siri AI went live Monday with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and visionOS 27, English beta first, per Apple. It reads personal context from your messages, emails and photos, sees what is on screen, takes actions inside apps, and gets its own Siri app with history synced over iCloud. Five more languages come next month. It needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, an M1 Mac or iPad, or a Series 9 Watch, and skips the EU and China at launch. Server-side features carry a daily usage limit, with paid expanded access "in the future." Under 13s are locked out.
Do this: If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or newer outside the EU, update to iOS 27 and give Siri one onscreen request, like adding every date on a web page to your calendar. Then watch for the daily-limit notice.
Siri can see the tab you are staring at. Just don't ask it to see past the age gate.
Will you let Siri read your screen and your messages?
ElevenLabs MCP is a connector, MCP being the plug that lets a chat app call outside tools, so your ElevenLabs workspace works from inside the assistants you already use. Live now in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, GrokBot and Hermes, per ElevenLabs. One OAuth login, no API keys, revocable any time. From there you can generate voice, music, images and video, build and edit ElevenAgents by describing them, and reach the 50-plus models behind ElevenCreative. It is wiring, not a new sound model. The older open-source MCP still exists for developers who want to run it locally with a key.
Do this: If you keep an ElevenLabs account and use Claude or ChatGPT, connect it once and ask your assistant to voice your next newsletter intro. Two minutes, no tab switch.
Your chat window just got a soundstage. Keys optional.
Claude for Financial Advisors landed Monday as a bundle of connectors and skills, per Anthropic. The connectors reach Charles Schwab, Vanguard, BlackRock Advisor Center, Addepar, Orion, Wealthbox and five more, on top of Microsoft 365, Salesforce and DocuSign. Eight skills cover onboarding, pre- and post-meeting notes, prospect intake, estate and tax briefs, portfolio rebalance reviews, alternatives briefs, and a compliance skill that screens client-facing language against the SEC Marketing Rule. Everything client-facing is staged for the advisor to approve. Anthropic points RIAs, registered investment advisors, to Enterprise for the audit logs, with a one-time usage credit for licenses requested before the end of September.
Do this: If you run an advisory practice on Claude, connect the one custodian you actually log into and run the pre-meeting prep skill before your next client call. Keep a human on every client-facing output.
The model drafts. The fiduciary still signs.
2 Tools worth knowing
1. 🍬 Gumball · included with Gumloop · web, Slack, email
Gumloop builds AI agents, and Gumball is the personal one every user gets. One personal agent per Gumloop user that keeps working after you close the laptop. Message it in the app, DM it in Slack, or email [email protected]. It sends a Daily Chew, a one-page catch-up on the last 16 hours across Slack, Gmail and Linear, labels your inbox and drafts replies it never sends, and briefs you before external meetings. The catch: signup was Google or Microsoft login only when we tried it, and Smart Inbox sits on the Pro plan and up.
2. 🍓 Gojiberry · $99/month Pro · web + CRM
An AI sales rep that finds buyers and reaches out for you. A YC-backed sales agent that watches 30-plus buying signals, job changes, funding rounds, competitor engagement, then contacts the warm ones by email and social. Pro buys two agents, up to 1,800 prospects a month, a unified inbox, lead scoring, enrichment from 15-plus data providers, and hooks into HubSpot, Pipedrive and Claude. Run it on autopilot or approve every send. The catch: the free trial asks for a card before the first agent step, so set a reminder before day 14.
1 Guide
Build a Claude-Powered Second Brain is our setup guide for paid Claude users who work across files, notes and projects and are tired of starting every chat from zero. Most people treat Claude like a search tab. This gives it your actual context, in three layers:
Files. The raw material, sorted into folders like active, reference, templates, archive and inbox.
Context. Structured meaning: current priorities, project status, decisions made, standing instructions.
CLAUDE.md. One markdown file that tells Claude what the brain is for, where to look, when to act, and how to respond.
Then build three skill files in this order: your writing voice, your recurring document format, and a weekly review. The guide ends with the prompts that turn it into a daily thinking partner, starting with "tell me the three biggest missed opportunities hidden in my current work."
The catch: layer one is a filing job before it is an AI job. Budget an hour to sort the folders, or the brain inherits your desktop.
Smart stranger out. Briefed partner in.
