New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
Anthropic just gave Claude the ability to create and edit Excel spreadsheets, documents, PowerPoint slide decks, and PDFs directly in-app. Instead of returning plain text, Claude runs code in a private sandboxed environment to tackle multi-step analysis and data formatting. The feature is now rolled out to paid plans.
Eli Lilly just launched TuneLab, an AI platform giving biotech firms access to drug discovery models trained on over $1B worth of proprietary research data. The setup uses federated learning so startups can leverage Lilly's predictive chemistry models without exposing their own intellectual property.
Google just expanded AI Mode in Search to Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. Powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.5, it taps multimodal reasoning to provide locally relevant answers rather than simple machine translation.
Google just added direct audio uploads to the Gemini app, addressing what the company calls users' most-requested feature. Free users can upload clips up to 10 minutes long (capped at five daily), while AI Pro and Ultra subscribers get up to three hours. Google also upgraded NotebookLM with new report styles like study guides and flashcards.
Rabbit just rolled out rabbitOS 2 for its r1 pocket companion, overhauling the UI with a swipeable card layout. The headline feature is creations, letting users build tools and mini-games in minutes simply by describing them out loud. It also brings offline meeting summaries and on-device image generation via the intern agent.
Roblox just announced a short-form gameplay feed called Moments alongside new creator AI tools at its developer conference. Creators can soon prompt fully functional 3D items like drivable cars rather than static meshes, plus tap into real-time voice chat translation and speech APIs.
Google just integrated Gemini directly into Sheets with a new =AI function. Users can simply type the formula alongside a natural-language prompt into any cell to categorize feedback, summarize reviews, or generate personalized copy across hundreds of rows without touching complex scripts.
Timekettle just launched the W4 AI Interpreter Earbuds, a $349 wireless pair designed for easy sharing. They combine standard mics with bone-conduction sensors to accurately pick up whispers and cut through noisy rooms. Powered by Babel OS 2.0 and LLMs, they handle 42 languages and 95 accents with up to 98 percent accuracy.
Anker just launched Soundcore Work, a wearable AI voice recorder roughly the size of a quarter. The $159 clip-on gadget packs an 8-hour battery, transcribes over 100 languages with speaker separation, and uses GPT-4.1 to summarize meetings in one click.
Google just integrated its Veo 3 video generation model into a newly revamped "Create" tab in Google Photos. Available now in the U.S., users can animate still photos with prompts like "Subtle movement" or restyle them with Remix into anime and 3D renders. It basically turns everyday memories into cinematic clips without needing complex video editors, though free daily generations remain capped.
Adobe just announced that its flagship video editor Premiere is coming to iOS for free later this month, with an Android version also in the works. The mobile app packs multi-track timelines, 4K HDR support, and built-in Firefly generative sound effects alongside AI speech enhancement. The core editing features are free, though extra cloud storage and generative AI credits will cost you.
Google just updated Circle to Search on Android with continuous translation as you scroll. Instead of forcing you to restart translation whenever screen content changes, a new "scroll and translate" toggle keeps text translated through endless feeds and app switches. It starts rolling out this week on select Samsung Galaxy devices.
Apple just rolled out Xcode 26 developer beta 7, adding direct integration for paid Claude accounts and OpenAI's GPT-5. Developers can now tap into Claude Sonnet 4 or choose between standard GPT-5 and GPT-5 (Reasoning) to write code, tests, and squash bugs right inside the IDE. It is a clear sign Apple is opening up its walled garden to top frontier models.
Google Labs and DeepMind just launched Stax, an experimental developer tool built to replace "vibe testing" with structured evaluations. It allows developers to upload test datasets and deploy Gemini-powered pre-built or custom autoraters to score outputs on criteria like factuality, tone, and brand fit.
OpenAI just rolled out big updates to Codex, now powered by GPT-5. The release brings a new IDE extension, smooth task transitions between cloud and local setups, GitHub code reviews, and an overhauled CLI tool. It is available right away through ChatGPT plans.
Aurelian just raised a $14M Series A led by NEA to deploy AI voice agents across chronically understaffed 911 dispatch centers. The voice assistant triages non-emergency calls like parking violations and noise complaints, while instantly handing real emergencies back to human dispatchers. Why it matters: In high-turnover public safety jobs, AI is stepping in to fill roles cities simply cannot hire humans for.
Lindy just launched Lindy Build, an autonomous web browsing agent designed to fix the most painful part of vibe coding. Instead of forcing you to hand-hold an AI through endless UI bug fixes, it clicks around your app, spots issues, and patches them 100% on its own. Basically, you can describe an app, grab lunch, and come back to working code.
Microsoft just brought its Copilot AI assistant directly to Samsung's 2025 lineup of smart TVs and monitors. Viewers can hold the remote's mic button to trigger a floating animated avatar for movie recommendations and spoiler-free episode recaps. Why it matters: It brings conversational AI to the living room's biggest screen, though it is currently restricted to newer hardware.
Google just rolled out major generative AI updates to Google Vids as it tops 1 million monthly active users. Creators can now transform still photos into eight-second clips with native audio via Veo, deploy AI avatars to deliver scripts, and auto-trim filler words from recordings. Why it matters: Routine business video production no longer requires cameras, studio time, or real spokespeople.
Meta just rolled out Environment Generation to all creators in the Worlds Desktop Editor and teased upcoming fully-embodied conversational LLM NPCs. The new NPC system lets creators build characters that respond to voice input with custom personalities in VR and mobile. It basically makes building virtual worlds as easy as typing a prompt.
