This week on Sidecar Sync, Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias dive deep into OpenAI’s biggest moves of the year—starting with how ChatGPT has evolved into a no-code platform capable of building full applications in minutes. They explore the implications of AgentKit, voice-first workflows, and whether associations should adopt or avoid these locked-in ecosystems. Mallory reveals how ChatGPT Pulse, a $200/month personal AI assistant, is reshaping expectations around newsletters and member engagement. Finally, they unpack OpenAI’s trillion-dollar infrastructure pacts with Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle—and what it means for cost, control, and the future of AI accessibility. Associations, take note: the AI platform war is accelerating, and your strategy matters more than ever.
