Beer With Kyle: Our Latest Version of AI Authors Just Released (GPT-4.1)
Hey Everyone,
Welcome to another edition of Beer with Kyle Friday. Today I have exciting news about our newly upgraded AI Author at Wealthy Affiliate, now powered by GPT‑4.1 (the latest, and most powerful version that isn't available to the public yet).
I also want to explain how our approach to AI is built to keep you ahead of the curve.
AI Author Upgrade: GPT‑4.1 Integration
A couple of days ago we rolled out the latest version of our AI Author, and the difference is remarkable:
- Most Human‑Like Content Yet. The new GPT‑4.1 model produces richer, more natural writing than any prior version. You’ll notice fewer robotic phrases and more conversational flow.
- Exclusive via API. GPT‑4.1 is not yet available in standard ChatGPT apps...only via API. We’ve integrated it directly into Wealthy Affiliate so you get first access to its capabilities when you create content.
- Seamless Upgrade All existing AI Author tools automatically use GPT‑4.1. No action needed on your part. Every article you generate now benefits from the improved model.
Our Approach to AI at Wealthy Affiliate
AI isn’t a buzzword any more, it is part of every tool you use here at WA. Here are just some of the ways that we are leveraging AI to help you moving forward.
- Best‑In‑Class Selection We monitor the leading AI providers and integrate the top-performing models into our platform.
- Built‑In Frameworks Around each AI model, we build specialized interfaces (like the AI Author) so you get tailored, efficient workflows.
- Continuous Improvement As AI evolves, so do our tools. We update our platform rapidly. This GPT‑4.1 upgrade followed our last full Author update by just a few months.
How to Try the New AI Author
- Enter a Hub and choose “Create Content.”
- Select “AI Author” and note the GPT‑4.1 label in the author selection step.
- Generate an Article (e.g., “What is affiliate marketing? An in‑depth introduction”).
- Review & Polish—you’ll see content so strong it often just needs minor tweaks.
Check your existing posts too. Any AI‑generated article from the last 48 hours now reflects the GPT‑4.1 upgrade.
Beer of the Week
This week’s pour is Salish Sea Pale Ale by Mount Arrowsmith Brewing in Parksville, BC. It’s a light, crisp pale ale...perfect for a Friday wrap‑up. Cheers to that!

Hi Kyle,
Thank you and the team for the constant effort to give us the best tools to succeed in our businesses. As every day I am more and more immerse in the platform, I see the weekly improvements and I also noticed how slowly, I managed to organised and improve my work.
Thank you again!
Best,
Maria
Awesome, that is great to hear and we are all about constant evolution and innovation here at WA. You are going to see a lot more of this as we move forward and as we get our new UX out there in the upcoming weeks which is going to come with new features as well. :)
This looks like a very brilliant development Kyle. I really like the idea of creating high quality content so that I can out rank all the sites in all my niches. I am definitely jumping into the new AI writing tool to create great products reviews.
Well done Kyle, Carson and the whole WA team for yet another innovative product. Keep up the good work.
In this update, Kyle shares that the newest version of their AI writing tool, based on GPT-4.1, has just been released. This new version is better at understanding and writing more naturally, making it easier for users to create high-quality content. It’s faster, more accurate, and can handle more complex tasks than before. Kyle also talks about how excited the team is and encourages people to try it out to see how much it's improved. The goal is to help writers, marketers, and businesses create content more easily using smart AI tools.
Hi Kyle,
As always I love the continued development on WA and this is a natural evolution, one that will continue to evolve over coming months and years. It is the future of content creation.
Like several people on here, I use ChatGPT to create my blog outlines. So, from the suggestion you made in another comment, I did a straight comparison between AI writer and ChatGPT.
I asked both to write an article "The Best Investment Strategy - Diversification" I told both that diversification isn't buying different shares as you are still invested in shares. Diversification is investing in business, property, shares, crypto, gold and silver.
The results were interesting.
AI Writer has definitely improved and the image creation is really good. (I sometimes create a blog on here, not for the text but to get the images.)
AI Writer (GPT 4.1) created a 990 word article about downloading pdf documents and reading lots of ebooks to find the best way to create a plan for diversification. It talked about putting more money into some investment and little into other investments. (It didn't mention specific investments like gold or property it used the generic word investment.) It did include the requested example about shares.
ChatGPT (4o) wrote an article about what diversification is, included my share example, broke down each asset class and created a diversification plan.
So why were the articles so different?
I work everyday on ChatGPT. I have trained it to do research from both the internet and my published content, before creating a blog in a specific template format.
So it wasn't a fair comparison as I haven't worked with AI Writer for it to understand my business model. I also don't know the research parameters for it to generate the content. However, I assume the more you use it the more it becomes accustomed to your ideas.
That said, AI Writer has definitely improved. It is a good product for members new to content creation or lacking confidence to write articles. It creates a base article that can be edited for a professional looking blog.
It is a good training tool for members to learn the skills for content creation and to develop their own style.
And I still love the images it creates.
So, well done to you and the team for the continued development - exciting times.
Thank you so much for your kind words—I'm glad you're enjoying the content! Hudson Varsity Jacket

I noticed a difference in my posts, but I didn't realize it was because of an AI update. I'm very happy about the quality of the articles. It's sounding more and more like me.
Yes, this is because of the update and it actually has been a significant leap over the content quality of the last writer, and the content quality that you can get directly through GPT.
Great to hear it is sounding more and more like you, and as we move forward we are going to have tools to help you with that even further. :)
