New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
MLB just teamed up with Google Cloud to launch Scout Insights, a new AI commentary feature inside its Gameday feed on the MLB App and website. Powered by Gemini models, it crunches hundreds of petabytes of league data to serve real-time historical tidbits at key moments. It essentially gives fans personalized booth-level analysis directly on their phones.
Bambu Lab's MakerWorld just integrated AI generator Meshy into its MakerLab hub, allowing users to turn any 2D photo into a print-ready 3D file in minutes. Driven by the Meshy-6 engine, the tool automatically maps colors to filament slots for Bambu's AMS multi-material system, skipping manual painting inside slicing software. It costs 2 MakerLab credits per export and bridges a major gap for printer owners without CAD skills.
Runway just launched Ad Concepter, a dedicated web app that turns a single prompt, a reference image, and a product shot into ready-to-test advertising ideas. Marketers and creators can now explore compositions and story beats without piecing together complex generative workflows.
Google just expanded its AI-powered Live Translate headphone feature to iOS and 12 countries across both mobile platforms. Powered by Gemini, it works with any standard pair of headphones across 70+ languages, keeping each speaker’s tone and cadence intact without requiring dedicated translation hardware.
Google just launched switching tools for Gemini, allowing users to import AI memories and full chat histories directly from rival assistants. Memories are transferred by pasting a generated summary prompt, while past conversations can be uploaded via a ZIP file. Why it matters: Google is tearing down the switching costs that keep users locked into other chatbots.
Researchers just introduced PSDesigner, an automated framework that turns text prompts into multi-layered Photoshop designs instead of flat images. A specialized multi-agent workflow collects assets, plans layouts, and iteratively refines the canvas through tool execution. Why it matters: It bridges the frustrating gap between one-shot AI generation and professional PSD editing workflows.
Cline just launched Kanban, a free, open-source local web app that runs multiple CLI coding agents in parallel on your git repo. Each task card gets its own isolated Git worktree and terminal, working out of the box with Claude Code, Codex, and Cline CLI. Why it matters: as running dozens of agents becomes standard, context switching is the real bottleneck—and turning terminal sprawl into an orchestrated pipeline solves it.
CapCut just launched Video Studio on the web, ditching traditional timeline editing for an infinite canvas that handles everything from storyboarding to rendering. It packs an AI writing agent and integrates the Dreamina Seedance 2.0 model. Why it matters: video editing is rapidly shifting from stitching clips manually to directing AI across a flexible storyboard, though Seedance 2.0 is currently restricted to select global regions.
Claude just brought its work tool integrations to mobile devices. Users can now explore Figma designs, create Canva slides, and check Amplitude analytics dashboards directly from their phones, turning the mobile assistant into a more practical work companion on the go.
ComfyUI just introduced dynamic VRAM, a feature that streams model layers on demand and unloads them immediately after execution. Instead of crashing low-VRAM setups, mid-tier cards like the RTX 5060 can now run heavyweight models like Flux 2dev with render times cut in half. Running frontier generation locally just became a lot more accessible.
Figma just launched its MCP server in beta, letting coding agents like Claude Code and Codex design directly on the canvas using your team's real components and design tokens. Teams can also steer agents with Markdown-based "skills" to prevent off-brand AI output. It is free during the beta, with usage-based pricing coming later.
Anthropic just introduced Auto Mode for Claude Code, letting the AI agent execute tool calls autonomously without asking for approval on every step. A background classifier screens each action before it runs, blocking destructive moves like mass file deletion or data exfiltration while greenlighting routine tasks. It is now available in research preview for Team plan users.
OpenAI just expanded its Agentic Commerce Protocol to turn ChatGPT into a visual shopping hub, letting you compare products side-by-side and upload photos to track down similar items. Major retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart are already plugged in, with Walmart rolling out a dedicated in-ChatGPT app with account linking.
Anthropic just rolled out computer use in research preview for Claude Pro and Max subscribers inside Claude Cowork and Claude Code. Claude can now click, scroll, navigate files, and run browser tools on macOS and Windows, falling back to direct screen control when direct connectors aren't available. Paired with last week's Dispatch release, you can assign tasks on your phone and let Claude finish them at your desk.
Elon Musk just confirmed that xAI is preparing to roll out "Grok Computer," an AI agent built to take over screen, mouse, and keyboard inputs. The leak surfaced after users spotted a hidden toggle in Grok's web code, hinting at a trial run for the rumored Macrohard project. It is currently undergoing testing.
Anthropic just launched Channels for Claude Code, allowing developers to manage coding sessions directly through Telegram and Discord via MCP. You can now triage CI bugs and trigger fixes straight from your phone instead of being tethered to a terminal. It is currently in preview and requires a persistent local process.
OpenAI just launched a perk giving verified university students in the US and Canada $100 in free Codex credits, equivalent to 2,500 ChatGPT credits. Eligible students can claim the balance via SheerID using a school email, and the credits apply across all ChatGPT plans with a 12-month expiration. It’s an aggressive bid to hook the next generation of builders early.
Claude Cowork just rolled out Projects to keep tasks and context in one focused workspace. All files and instructions stay locally on your computer instead of the cloud, and you can import existing projects in a single click or start fresh.
OpenAI is reportedly working on a desktop “superapp” that unites ChatGPT, its Codex coding tool, and the Atlas browser into one client. An internal memo cited by The Wall Street Journal reveals that applications CEO Fidji Simo wants to curb fragmentation and drop “side quests” as competition heats up with rivals like Anthropic. The mobile app will remain separate.
Adobe just launched Firefly Custom Models in public beta, allowing creators and brands to train custom AI image generators on their own artwork to keep visual styles and character designs consistent across projects. Models are private by default, and Firefly automatically blocks uploads marked as opted out of AI training via Content Authenticity Initiative credentials.
