Grammarly just got caught using the names and identities of journalists and professors to power its AI writing feedback—without asking for permission. The "Expert Review" feature generates comments mimicking specific writers, though tests found broken source links and outdated titles. Why it matters: Packaging real living people into AI personas crosses a clear ethical line, especially when the generated advice contradicts how those editors actually work.
Anthropic just launched local scheduled tasks in Claude Code desktop, allowing developers to automate and run recurring workflows directly on their local machines. Tasks execute on a set schedule without cloud processing as long as your computer stays awake. Why it matters: Claude Code is evolving beyond interactive coding assistance into an autonomous development tool.
Perplexity just introduced Skills for Perplexity Computer, allowing the AI agent to learn actions once and reuse them across future tasks. Instead of repeating identical steps each time, the system stores workflows as reusable capabilities and applies them automatically. It essentially turns one-off demonstrations into persistent automation.
OpenAI just launched Codex Security, an application security agent designed to catch deep vulnerabilities while cutting false-positive noise by over 50%. It builds a threat model from codebases, verifies exploits in sandboxes, and proposes fixes. It's now in research preview with one month of free access for ChatGPT Pro and enterprise tiers.

As AI and always-listening gadgets take over private and business conversations, the company aims to physically restore conversational privacy. Detailed hardware specs, pricing, and a launch timeline haven't been revealed yet.
Anthropic just upgraded its skill-creator tool with no-code testing and benchmarking features designed for non-engineer skill authors. The update introduces eval writing, parallel multi-agent test runs, blind A/B comparator agents, and a prompt optimizer to fix misfiring skills. Why it matters: as foundation models change, skills can quietly break or become redundant; this brings software testing rigor to workflow prompts without writing code.
Anthropic just rolled out Voice Mode in its coding assistant Claude Code, starting with about 5% of users before expanding over the coming weeks. Eligible developers will see a note on their welcome screen and can toggle it on with /voice to steer their programming workflow with spoken words instead of typing.
