You Can't Automate Good Judgement

AI promises speed and efficiency, but it’s leaving many leaders feeling more overwhelmed than ever.

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.

How to Summarize Meeting Transcripts With ChatGPT

Turn long transcripts into clean, actionable summaries in seconds.

Here’s how to do it (step-by-step):

Step 1: Open ChatGPT and click the “+” icon next to the message bar.

Step 2: Choose “Add photos & files” and upload your transcript file (.txt, .docx, .pdf, etc.).

Step 3: Paste this prompt:

“Summarize this transcript into key points, decisions, and next steps. Use a professional tone, and format it clearly for easy review.”

Step 4: Review the summary or follow up with:

“Who was assigned action items?”

“List all important deadlines mentioned.”

Quick Tip:You can also upload meeting audio (e.g., .mp3, .m4a). ChatGPT will transcribe the audio and generate a summary from it.

Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.

The WSJ just reported the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.

While equities, gold, bitcoin hover near highs, the art market is showing signs of early recovery after one of the longest downturns since the 1990s.

Here’s where it gets interesting→

Each investing environment is unique, but after the dot com crash, contemporary and post-war art grew ~24% a year for a decade, and after 2008, it grew ~11% annually for 12 years.*

Overall, the segment has outpaced the S&P by 15 percent with near-zero correlation from 1995 to 2025.

Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. Since 2019, investors have deployed $1.25 billion across 500+ artworks.

Masterworks has sold 25 works with net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.

Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers skip the waitlist:

Hand-picked news:

🌐 ChatGPT Translate arrives as a Google Translate rival ↗️LINK

• OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a standalone web-based translation tool supporting over 50 languages, with a two-text-box layout that closely resembles Google Translate.

• While Google Translate supports text, images, documents, and websites, ChatGPT Translate currently focuses on text only, with limited voice input on mobile browsers and no image translation available yet.

• The service repackages ChatGPT’s long-standing translation abilities into a dedicated site, but there’s no mobile app, no confirmed AI model details, and no formal launch announcement so far.

💰 Expert warns OpenAI is close to running out of funds ↗️LINK

• AI companies are pouring tens of billions into expensive models and infrastructure, but profitability remains distant, and OpenAI is especially exposed because it lacks a profitable core business to offset its losses.

• Analyst Sebastian Mallaby warns OpenAI could run out of money within 18 months, noting that rivals like Google, Microsoft, and Meta can rely on profits from existing businesses while OpenAI burned more than $8 billion in 2025 alone.

• Even if OpenAI falters or is absorbed by a larger tech firm, experts argue it wouldn’t undermine AI’s long-term prospects—only mark the fall of one of the most hype-driven players in the race.

🚀 Ex–Google CEO backs a space telescope bigger than Hubble ↗️LINK

• Eric and Wendy Schmidt’s foundation, Schmidt Sciences, is funding a major new astronomy system, including a privately built space telescope called Lazuli that will be larger than Hubble, plus three advanced ground-based observatories, all targeted to be operational by the end of the decade.

• Lazuli will use a 3.1-meter mirror with modern sensors, giving it about 70% more light-gathering power than Hubble, and will focus on exoplanets, supernovae, and measuring how fast the universe is expanding.

• The ground-based arrays will continuously scan the sky across radio and optical wavelengths, designed to work together with Lazuli in real time, creating an open, globally accessible observatory system at a moment when government funding for astronomy is becoming less reliable.

💾 DDR5 RAM prices jump more than 4x since 2025 ↗️LINK

• DDR5 RAM prices have surged dramatically, now averaging more than four times higher than in September 2025, with tracked products showing an average increase of about 344% based on a consistent comparison basket.

• The analysis shows that after a brief pause over the holidays, RAM prices resumed climbing sharply in mid-January, shifting from “more than tripled after three months” to “more than quadrupled after four months.”

• The report also warns that rising participation from small marketplace resellers, especially on eBay, is distorting price comparison data, increasing buyer risk and making it harder for consumers to judge true retail pricing trends.

🎧 Spotify raises its subscription prices again ↗️LINK

• Spotify is increasing its US individual plan price from $11.99 to $12.99 per month, marking its third price hike in three years, with the change taking effect in the next billing cycle.

• The company says the increase reflects the value it delivers to users and artists, and analysts previously estimated the hike could boost Spotify’s revenue by about $500 million.

• Spotify has already raised prices in several other countries, has over 281 million paid users worldwide, and is also rolling out new price increases in Estonia and Latvia.
