New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
Opera just launched Browser Connector in Early Bird mode for Opera One and Opera GX, hooking ChatGPT or Claude straight into your browser via MCP. Instead of endless copy-pasting, the AI can read open tabs, grab screenshots, and help you compare research across pages. Users keep full permission control, and the AI cannot click or fill forms autonomously.
Perplexity just launched Personal Computer for Mac, bringing its multi-model AI orchestration directly to your local machine. It can manage your to-do lists, organize folders, and complete tasks across native apps, local files, and the web. Actions run in a secure sandbox and can be triggered by pressing both CMD keys.
OpenAI just dropped a massive update to its Codex desktop app, letting AI agents quietly take over your Mac in the background. Codex can now click and type with its own cursors without hijacking your screen, inspect pages in an in-app browser, generate UI mockups with gpt-image-1.5, and remember your habits across projects. It basically turns Codex from an inline coding tool into an autonomous digital coworker.
Adobe just teamed up with Anthropic to integrate its new conversational Firefly creative assistant directly into Claude. The agentic tool can handle multi-step creative chores like batch editing, cropping, and lighting tweaks with minimal oversight, giving Claude its first major creative design capability beyond coding. The Firefly assistant enters public beta later this month, with the Claude connector arriving soon after.
Roblox just brought agentic AI workflows to Roblox Studio and Assistant to automate the entire plan, build, and test loop. The update adds a collaborative Planning Mode, text-to-mesh generation, and a beta playtesting agent that controls characters to test games. Studio also baked in an MCP server to plug directly into Cursor and Claude.
Google just launched a native Gemini app for macOS 15 and up, letting users summon the assistant anywhere via Option + Space. You can share your screen or local files for instant summaries, plus generate images with Nano Banana and videos with Veo right on your desktop. Google says it's just the foundation for a more proactive personal assistant.
Starbucks just rolled out a beta app inside ChatGPT to help customers discover and customize drinks based on their cravings. Users can call up "@Starbucks" in chat to tailor orders and pick a store, though checkout still redirects to Starbucks' own channels to protect its loyalty program. Why it matters: It targets younger shoppers by meeting them at the moment of inspiration instead of pushing a static menu.
OpenAI just updated its Agents SDK with a model-native harness and built-in sandbox execution. Developers can now run agents in isolated workspaces powered by providers like E2B, Modal, and Vercel, allowing them to inspect files, edit code, and run shell commands safely. The harness also snapshots state so long-running tasks survive crashes. It is rolling out first for Python.
Anthropic just introduced Claude Design, an Anthropic Labs product powered by the new Claude Opus 4.7 model. It turns text prompts into interactive prototypes, presentations, and landing pages that users can tweak with custom sliders and export directly to Claude Code. The tool is rolling out in research preview to paid Claude subscribers.
Character.ai just launched PipSqueak 2, a major model upgrade available first to c.ai+ subscribers and heading to free users in early May. The new model keeps characters from breaking persona and cuts down repetitive phrasing. The platform also refreshed its Memory system with in-chat capture alerts, and previewed an upcoming Lorebook tool that attaches canon world lore directly to characters.
Google just rolled out Skills for Gemini in Chrome on desktop, letting users save frequently used prompts directly from chat history into reusable, one-click shortcuts. You can trigger them across any open tabs by typing "/" or clicking the "+" button, or pick from a pre-built library for tasks like shopping comparisons and doc scanning.
Google just launched its desktop app for Windows globally in English, featuring built-in AI Mode search. The Alt + Space keyboard shortcut lets users quickly search the web, local files, installed apps, and Google Drive without leaving their workflow, while screen sharing and Google Lens enable instant contextual questions about anything on-screen.
AWS just rolled out Amazon Bio Discovery, a no-code agentic platform that puts 40+ biological AI models and wet-lab validation under one roof. Instead of juggling custom pipelines and manual handoffs, teams can pick models via AI agents, order lab assays from partners like Ginkgo Bioworks, and feed results right back into the loop. In tests with MSK, it sifted 300,000 antibody candidates in weeks instead of a full year.
Anthropic just overhauled the Claude Code desktop app to let developers orchestrate multiple agents at once. It adds a multi-session sidebar across repos, an integrated terminal and in-app file editor, drag-and-drop workspace panes, and Mac SSH support. Available now for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
Anthropic just introduced Routines in Claude Code in research preview, turning repetitive dev tasks into cloud-hosted automations. You can bundle a prompt, repo, and connectors to run on a schedule, via API endpoints, or triggered by GitHub webhook events. It executes entirely on Claude Code's web infrastructure, with daily routine limits rolling out to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.
Google just added Tab Tab Tab to AI Studio’s vibe coding experience, a prompt autocomplete engine powered by Gemini. It fills in the blanks when you arrive with vague ideas, turning rough concepts into actionable prompts without needing detailed instructions.
Microsoft is testing OpenClaw-style autonomous agents for 365 Copilot, aiming to let the assistant run around the clock on behalf of users. The always-on bots can monitor Outlook inboxes and calendars, recommend daily workflows, and limit permissions by department for tighter security. Microsoft plans to unveil the new capabilities at its Build conference starting June 2nd.
Legal AI startup Harvey just launched Agents, autonomous bots that run end-to-end legal workflows from research and deposition prep to memos and slide decks. The platform splits large tasks across parallel agents, backs every claim with citations, and lets firms build custom bots using internal playbooks. It turns hours of background grunt work into review-ready legal deliverables.
Blackmagic Design just unveiled DaVinci Resolve 21, introducing a dedicated Photo page that brings node-based color grading to still photography alongside powerful AI tools. Editors now get IntelliSearch for face and content discovery, CineFocus for post-shoot depth-of-field control, and automated facial retouching. It marks a bold step toward taking on dedicated photo suites, and the public beta is live today.
Cloudflare just integrated OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 and Codex harness directly into its Agent Cloud platform and Sandboxes. The move lets millions of enterprise customers build and deploy production-ready AI agents at global scale for tasks like customer support, system updates, and automated reporting. Why it matters: it pushes frontier models right to the network edge, making autonomous workflows faster and far more secure.
