New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
Google is testing a new, AI-powered version of Google Finance that lets users research complex financial queries in one go with web-backed insights. The update adds advanced charting tools like candlestick displays and moving average envelopes, alongside expanded real-time data for commodities and crypto. U.S. users can now opt in through Search Labs.
Microsoft just launched Copilot 3D, a free preview feature inside Copilot Labs that turns 2D pictures into 3D models with a single click. The tool requires no text prompts and outputs GLB files ready for 3D printing and game engines. Early tests show it handles objects like furniture well, but struggles with humans and animals. It is currently rolling out to select web users.
Hugging Face just launched AI Sheets, a free open-source tool that brings thousands of open models into a familiar spreadsheet layout. Users can build, clean, and vibe-test datasets simply by writing prompts to create new columns. Edits and likes automatically become few-shot examples to tune outputs on the fly.
Microsoft just integrated OpenAI’s new GPT-5 across consumer, developer, and enterprise platforms, upgrading Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry. The models bring sharper reasoning and stronger coding performance handled through an automatic real-time router, and free users can try it right away in Copilot's new Smart mode.
MiniMax just rolled out Speech 2.5, its upgraded audio model supporting voice cloning across 40 languages. It aims to wipe out robotic cadence by matching specific accents, ages, and nuanced emotional cues. If you make multilingual content, generating realistic localized voiceovers just got a whole lot simpler.
The Browser Company just launched Dia Pro, a $20 monthly subscription for its AI browser that unlocks unlimited chat and skills. Free users will now face usage limits, marking the Arc maker's first official push into subscription revenue as browser competition heats up.
Cursor just dropped version 1.4, packing a significantly more capable agent built for complex, long-running tasks across large codebases. The update also equips the agent with better tools, improves token efficiency, and boosts code editing accuracy.
Trump Media just teamed up with Perplexity to roll out a public beta of "Truth Social AI" search. Anyone using Truth Social in a browser can now query the web directly with Perplexity's engine. Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes pitched the partnership as a vital step in expanding the platform's reach.
Shopify just launched a Universal Cart, product catalog, and checkout kit designed specifically for AI agents. The developer tools let chatbots search millions of merchant inventories, bundle items across different stores, and complete purchases natively in the chat. Basically, AI assistants are becoming full-blown shopping storefronts.
Microsoft just added OpenAI's GPT-4o image generation model to Bing Image Creator at no cost. You can now toggle seamlessly between GPT-4o and DALL-E 3, getting sharper text rendering and more realistic outputs while keeping 15 daily fast creations. It puts premium image generation directly in your browser without a subscription.
Google just officially launched Jules out of beta, making its asynchronous coding agent publicly available. The tool uses Gemini 2.5 Pro to draft coding plans, integrates with GitHub issues, and supports multimodal inputs. It is rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers with higher usage limits, alongside a free year for eligible college students.
Perplexity just integrated OpenTable directly into its AI engine, letting users search and book tables across 60,000 restaurants without leaving the chat. You can ask for specific vibes like outdoor seating or vegan menus, and hit "Reserve" in one click. It turns conversational search into a practical errand runner.
Anthropic just added automated security reviews to Claude Code, letting developers catch vulnerabilities before shipping. A new /security-review terminal command scans for flaws like SQL injection and patches them on the spot, while a GitHub Action automatically audits incoming pull requests.
Google just launched Gemini CLI GitHub Actions in beta, giving developers a free AI teammate inside their code repositories. Triggered by repository events, it handles issue triage and PR code reviews, and can write tests or fix bugs when @-mentioned. Why it matters: It embeds autonomous, full-context agent workflows directly into everyday developer collaboration.
Google just expanded NotebookLM to younger users, allowing teens aged 13+ and all Workspace for Education students to turn notes into interactive mind maps and a podcast-like Audio Overview. Google added stricter safety filters for minors and pledged never to train AI models on their notes or chats.
Brilliant Labs just unveiled the Halo smart glasses, a $299 rival to Meta's Ray-Bans featuring a peripheral microOLED display and bone-conduction speakers. Its Noa AI assistant uses a memory system dubbed Narrative to recall names and past conversation details when you meet people, along with an experimental voice-coding mode. It gives wearers a lightweight, heads-up second brain right on their face.
Uber Eats just rolled out generative AI features that draft menu descriptions, summarize diner feedback, and digitally touch up or re-plate low-quality food photos. To balance out overly polished AI images, the app is also paying diners in-app credits to upload their own raw food pictures when leaving reviews.
Manus just launched Wide Research, a new parallel processing feature designed to scale agent compute by up to 100x. Instead of using rigid pre-defined roles, the system orchestrates multiple fully capable Manus instances to research hundreds of items simultaneously. It is currently available to Pro users, with other tiers coming soon.
TikTok just introduced a new batch of safety features, including US-piloted Footnotes for crowdsourced fact-checking and tighter parental notifications. For creators, it rolled out Creator Care Mode, which uses AI to learn disliked comments and filter them out automatically.
Google just added Video Overviews to NotebookLM, turning your source docs into narrated, AI-generated slide presentations with relevant charts and quotes. The updated Studio panel also lets you generate and store multiple versions of audio, video, or mind maps in a single notebook while multitasking across them.
