Visual Intelligence

Apple’s new Visual Intelligence is here

Snap a pic, and your iPhone 16 will tell you what you’re looking at. Dog breeds, restaurants, you name it.

And it makes notifications smarter by putting the important stuff first.

Replit Agent

Replit just dropped Replit Agent

This thing doesn’t just write code – it handles the whole dev process for you.

Setup, coding, debugging, deployment... all automated. 

And it’s live for subscribers right now!

Robot butler

Weave Robotics unveiled Isaac

A robot butler that folds your laundry? Yes, please.

Isaac responds to voice and app commands, and it's set to drop in 2025 for a cool $59k.

AI agents in a game

Minecraft just got its first AI civilization

Project Sid put 1,000+ AI agents in Minecraft, and they built societies, religions, and economies.

It’s like watching AI invent their own world – mind blown.

Google’s Ask photos

Google launched Ask Photos

Now you can talk to your photo library. Just ask for the pics you want, and Google’s AI will dig them up.

It’s rolling out in the U.S. and might just change the way we find photos.
