Tuesday Memo · 8 September 2026 · Issue 13
Stop exporting charts into your slides
What is inside: the deck job Canva just shortened, a follow-up prompt for a quote that went quiet, and the model launch you can skip.
Most of the time lost to a client deck is not the thinking. It is the fiddling: export the chart, upload the chart, resize the chart, notice the numbers changed, do it again.
Canva has just cut a chunk of that out.
One thing worth your time
The chart that goes straight into the deck
Canva has shipped its hundredth Visual Suite update of the year, across Docs, Sheets, Whiteboards, Presentations and Websites. The one that matters for a busy owner: numbers in a Canva Sheet become a chart from a prompt, and that chart drops straight into a doc or a deck. No exporting, no re-uploading.
Presentations also got one-click presenting and presenter notes written for you. Rolling out now to all Canva users globally.

One prompt to try
The quote that went quiet
Every business has a quote sitting unanswered. Most owners either chase it badly or not at all. Give the Ai the specifics and it writes a chaser that does not sound desperate.
Write a short follow-up email to a customer who asked for a quote and then went quiet. What I quoted: [WHAT I QUOTED AND THE PRICE]. Sent on [DATE]. Last thing they said: [WHAT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WEIGHING UP]. Tone: friendly, no pressure, no apology for chasing, and give them an easy way to say no. Under 90 words, ending with one clear question.
Send one today. The worst answer is a no you can finally close off.
One thing to ignore
GPT-6, which you cannot use yet
OpenAI announced a new model, GPT-6 Astra, on 3 September. The headlines followed within hours, and so did the feeling that everyone else has moved on without you.
Read OpenAI’s own note: access is rolling out to a limited set of organisations, and it is not yet generally available. You almost certainly cannot open it. Nothing in your account changed this week. Get better at the tool already sitting in front of you.
One export saved beats one model you cannot open.
