New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
YouTube is testing an AI-powered search carousel that pulls key clips from videos and plays them directly in search results. The feature does not summarize footage, but extracts the most relevant moments so users do not have to click into full videos. It is currently limited to select Premium users on English queries, raising fresh questions about creator traffic.
OpenAI just launched a lightweight version of Deep Research, expanding access to free tier users while boosting rate limits for Plus, Team, and Pro subscribers. Deep Research is easily one of the company's best agentic workflows, and making a leaner version means intense multi-step web research is finally hitting the masses.
Adobe just launched the public beta of its Content Authenticity app, allowing creators to attach invisible digital credentials to images for free without a Creative Cloud subscription. Through a partnership with LinkedIn, users can embed verified identity badges, disclose AI usage, and opt out of AI training.
Dropbox just upgraded its AI-powered search tool, Dash, adding support for searching audio, video, images, and finding internal subject-matter experts. It also rolled out new writing tools and integrations with Slack, Figma, and Zoom, letting users pull summaries across apps directly into new project plans and memos.
Google just upgraded its experimental Music AI Sandbox, rolling out broader access to U.S. creators alongside its new Lyria 2 generation model. The toolkit lets musicians extend tracks, rewrite styles via text prompts, and experiment with real-time generation using Lyria RealTime. All outputs are automatically watermarked with SynthID.
Spotify just expanded its beta AI Playlist feature to Premium listeners across more than 40 new markets in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Users can type natural language prompts—covering moods, activities, or even random emojis—to generate tailored tracklists, then refine them on the fly. It shows streaming music pivoting from static algorithms to conversational search, though it remains English-only for now.
Perplexity just rolled out Perplexity Assistant on iOS, turning its search engine into an action-taking mobile agent. The app can now draft emails, reschedule meetings, book rides, make reservations, play media, and set reminders right on your iPhone.
Meta just rolled out live translation to all Ray-Ban smart glasses users across supported markets. The feature enables real-time two-way translation between English, French, Italian, and Spanish—and by downloading language packs in advance, it works completely offline without Wi-Fi or cellular data. It turns the smart frames into a genuinely practical travel translator.
Nvidia just made its NeMo microservices generally available, offering end-to-end tools to customize, evaluate, and guardrail enterprise AI agents. It boosts fine-tuning throughput by up to 1.8x and helps firms like AT&T and Cisco tap into continuous data flywheels. Basically, it turns enterprise LLMs into constantly learning digital coworkers.
NVIDIA just released the G-Assist Plug-In Builder alongside the experimental launch of Project G-Assist inside the NVIDIA app. Powered by a responsive local small language model running directly on RTX GPUs, the tool lets users create Python and JSON-based plugins to control hardware, trigger game guides, and connect external APIs. It gives PC gamers and creators a genuinely customizable, hands-free on-device copilot.
Microsoft just announced the Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2 spring release, introducing an Agent Store alongside two reasoning agents, Researcher and Analyst. Powered by OpenAI deep reasoning models, the agents tackle complex multi-step research and data analysis, while updates also add cross-app search and audio-enabled notebooks. It signals Microsoft's aggressive push into human-agent collaboration.
xAI just rolled out Grok Vision, letting users point their smartphone camera at objects, text, or signs and ask questions in real time. Voice mode also picked up multilingual audio and live search. It catches Grok up with ChatGPT and Gemini, though vision is currently iOS-only.
Descript just announced a new AI-powered agentic video editor, with founder Andrew Mason describing it as the 'Cursor for video.' The team is going all-in on AI agents to streamline editing workflows, and sign-ups for early access are now open.
1Password just launched Agentic AI Security and updated its Extended Access Management platform to manage both human and nonhuman credentials. The tool eliminates hardcoded secrets, enforces least-privilege access for autonomous agents, and includes a dedicated developer SDK. Why it matters: As AI agents take on critical workflows, keeping machine credentials locked down is quickly becoming enterprise security's next big headache.
PlayAI just launched Voice Changer, a tool that transforms your voice into anyone else's using only a 10-second audio sample. It preserves your original emotion and inflection, runs directly on mobile, and pitches itself as a faster alternative to hiring voice actors.
ElevenLabs just rolled out seamless call transfers between agents in its Conversational AI platform. Different teams inside a company can now build specialized agents in parallel, each equipped with its own tools and knowledge base. Why it matters: Complex voice workflows no longer need a bloated, do-it-all bot.
Google just showed off its Android XR smartglasses in a live public demo at TED. Powered by Gemini, the hardware sports an in-lens color display and can recall where you left a hotel keycard, translate conversations on the fly, and overlay walking directions. Why it matters: It proves multimodal AI is moving to useful everyday eyewear, though consumers likely have to wait until 2026 to buy a pair.
Cursor's AI customer support agent, named "Sam," invented a non-existent policy claiming subscriptions were limited to a single device. The hallucinated response went viral on Reddit and Hacker News, sparking immediate cancellations from angry developers before Cursor stepped in to apologize. It's a stark reminder of what happens when confident LLMs handle customer service without human oversight.
Grok just rolled out conversation memory to personalize its answers. The assistant can now remember your past interactions when providing advice or recommendations. It basically brings Grok up to speed with rivals offering continuous context across conversations.
Docusign just launched AI contract agents integrated into its Intelligent Agreement Management platform to analyze agreements and highlight risks requiring human review. Powered by its proprietary Iris engine, the first agents will debut by the end of 2025 for sales and procurement workflows.
