Scale AI just added computer use to its Muse app for Mac, letting users queue up tasks and walk away while the system keeps working unattended. Alexandr Wang announced the update, positioning it for long-running workflows. Why it matters: Desktop AI agents are shifting from active chat assistants into background workers that grind through chores on their own.

Users can now loop Muse directly into email threads or forward messages to let it handle tasks automatically. It shifts the assistant beyond dedicated interfaces straight into daily email workflows.

Google just rolled out a new wave of Connected Apps for Gemini, integrating third-party services across productivity (Airtable, Linear), creativity (Adobe, Webflow), and lifestyle (Peloton). Users can link tools in settings or summon them directly with an @ mention in chat, eliminating the need to tab-switch.
Google just released six creative workflow tools inside Google Flow, built in partnership with professional designers and filmmakers. The lineup includes multi-track sound effect generator Mondo Sónico, real-time 3D texture mapper Surface, and SwissFlow Studio for turning scripts into motion graphics. Creators can test them immediately or describe what they need to build their own tools.
YouTube just rolled out a suite of AI features for creators, bringing Gemini conversational editing straight into Shorts and the YouTube Create app. Creators can now chat with the assistant to trim clips and sync music to the beat, test up to three video cuts to see which hook works best, and lean on expanded voice detection to fight deepfakes. It basically turns YouTube Studio into an on-demand production partner.
YouTube just unveiled Ask Music, an in-app conversational feature that lets listeners explore its massive catalog, customize queues, and dig into artist lore via chat. Subscribers also get a personalized AI audio guide that delivers weekly spoken previews of recommended podcasts hands-free. It basically turns music streaming into an interactive, voice-driven radio tailored to your taste.

You can now see how Spotify interprets your taste across music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and type natural language notes to request new genres or purge unwanted topics within hours.
Meta just rolled out a major update to its Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses. The glasses now offer landmark-based walking directions—telling you to turn at recognizable spots like a yellow house instead of street names—along with cycling and transit routes. A new Hologram feature creates a photorealistic digital avatar driven entirely by your voice for WhatsApp calls, eliminating awkward angles while cooking or multitasking. The update also brings Dolby Atmos recording and expands to five new countries.

Rabbit just rolled out OS3, an agentic operating system that runs complex tasks across up to five connected machines from a single chat window. Powered by its DLAM tech, the system can autonomously browse, control desktop apps, and execute code on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Best of all, it supports bring-your-own-key flexibility for frontier models.
Meta’s latest AI app, Muse, is racking up early mobile wins against ChatGPT, according to Apptopia estimates. In its first 12 days, Muse hit 1.8M iOS downloads in the U.S. and Canada compared to ChatGPT’s 1.3M at launch, alongside 642,000 U.S. daily active users. Why it matters: Meta's cross-promotion muscle is flexing again, with 95% of Muse users crossing over from Facebook.
ElevenLabs just launched Studio 4.0, turning its editor into an all-in-one AI production suite.

Anthropic just added support for OpenAI's AGENTS.md standard in Claude Code version 2.1.277. If a project lacks a CLAUDE.md file, Claude Code will now automatically fall back to AGENTS.md, with behavior configurable via /config. Why it matters: Developers juggling multiple coding assistants no longer need messy symlinks or duplicate instruction files across repos.
Alexandr Wang just launched Muse for Mac, an AI agent capable of handling tasks across your files, messages, calendar, and notes directly on your computer. You keep full control over data access, and it requires explicit confirmation before executing any sensitive actions.
OpenAI just launched an official ChatGPT add-in for Microsoft Word, available globally across all free and paid plans. You can now draft, rewrite, and format documents right inside Word, while pulling context directly from connected tools like Outlook, SharePoint, and Google Workspace.
xAI's Grok just added a voice mode, rolling out across desktop and mobile apps over the next couple of days. The update lets users talk back and forth with the chatbot rather than just typing, bringing it in line with competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini that already offer hands-free voice chat.
