I've been sitting on this for months, and today it's finally live. The AI Academy is going to Portugal. Two days that could change how you use AI in your firm ... in a small group of no more than 25 AI Academy members ... on the coast of Portugal in March 2027. Here's what's happening: - Wednesday 3 March: Welcome wine tasting evening - Thursday 4 and Friday 5 March: Two full days of intensive AI working sessions at the Vila Galé Hotel in Ericeira - Pre-dinner drinks with the group on both evenings We'll work through your real AI challenges together. Prompt engineering ... automations ... how AI agents actually fit into a firm ... whatever you're stuck on right now. This isn't a slide-fest. It's roll-up-your-sleeves work with peers who get it. For the next few days only, you can grab your place at the flash sale price of $395. But ONLY IF YOU ARE AN AI ACADEMY MEMBER. There is currently a free 7-day trial here, https://www.skool.com/theaiacademy/about That price is only live until 8am UK time on Friday. After that, it jumps to $495, and it keeps stepping up from there ... full standard price is $1,600. You'll find the brochure below 👇 I'd love to see you there.

Big news this week. OpenAI has launched a new set of AI models called GPT-5.6. There are three versions. Sol is the most powerful, Terra is the balanced everyday one, and Luna is the fast, low-cost option. They've also started rolling out "ChatGPT Work", a workspace that connects to your apps and files and can build documents and presentations from a single prompt. Why this matters for accountants: - More capable models usually mean more of the fiddly admin work can be handed off - Having a cheap, fast option and a powerful one lets you pick the right tool for the job - The pace isn't slowing down ... staying curious is now part of the job I'll be honest with you ... I haven't tested any of this yet, and I'd take the bigger claims with a pinch of salt until we've seen it work on real accounting tasks. New and impressive doesn't always mean useful. So here's my question for you 👇 When you hear "another new AI model just dropped" ... are you excited, exhausted, or a bit of both? Drop one word below.

If you've been searching for the Canvas button in ChatGPT and coming up empty... you're not imagining things. OpenAI has started phasing Canvas out. As of the newer GPT-5.5 models, it's no longer available, and the shutdown for everyone else is only a matter of time. A few things worth knowing: - Canvas isn't gone completely... it's being folded into "Writing Blocks", editable documents that appear inside your normal chat - For bigger, more polished deliverables (reports, spreadsheets, presentations), OpenAI is pushing people towards a newer feature called "ChatGPT Work" - None of this has been clearly announced or explained... which is why it just feels like the button vanished My honest take... this is a pattern worth watching, not just with Canvas. Features you rely on today can disappear or move with very little warning. Worth checking in on the tools you depend on every so often, rather than assuming they'll stay put. Has Canvas disappeared for you too? Or have you already found your way to Writing Blocks or Work? 👇

If you've ever thought Claude was too expensive to run for your firm ... this changes things. There's been a lot of confusion about whether Claude's Team plan needs a minimum of five seats or two. I set one up to get you the real answer ... and it's now just two. That finally makes it competitive with ChatGPT's business plan for solo and small firms. In the video I walk you through: - The real minimum, and why the pricing page confuses everyone - How to set up a Team plan, step by step - The important catch: it creates a new account, so your existing projects and chats don't carry over - Why your old Pro plan keeps auto-renewing until you cancel it Watch it here: https://youtu.be/vVzLXUEgwv8?si=OwCKV8rTsWeb0Ep_ Have you moved to a Team plan yet, or still weighing it up? 👇
