Microsoft has been dropping Copilot everywhere lately: chat, Cowork, coding, autonomous agents, and now it looks like all of it is getting stuffed into one place. During Wednesday’s earnings call, CEO Satya Nadella confirmed the company is building an AI super app that brings every one of these Copilot experiences under a single roof. What exactly is Microsoft building? Nadella explained that Copilot has moved fast, going from a simple chat tool to Cowork and now to Autopilots, Microsoft’s term for autonomous agents that can run long tasks on their own. He plans to combine all the tools into what…

Apple recently announced its new Apple Upgrade leasing plan, which lets customers pay monthly for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch through Klarna. The program replaces the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program and expands the option beyond phones for the first time. However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode. Apple has now clarified that the system will not be used for its Upgrade…

After rolling out Gemini Spark on macOS earlier this year, Google is now upgrading the Gemini app for Mac with two useful features that could change the way you get things done, whether that means ditching your current AI dictation app or letting Gemini act on whatever’s on your screen. One key press turns speech into clean text anywhere With the latest update, you can long-press the Fn key in any open window and start talking. Gemini transcribes what you say into clean text right at your cursor, cutting out filler words like “ums” and “ahs” as you go. The…

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions. Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual…

Waymo is giving its robotaxis one of its biggest passenger-facing upgrades yet, bringing Google’s Gemini AI assistant into the cabin alongside a redesigned in-car interface that reimagines how riders interact with autonomous vehicles. Both features will debut in the Ojai, Waymo’s purpose-built robotaxi, as the company prepares to expand access to more public riders. Rather than changing how the vehicle drives, the update focuses on what passengers can do once they’re inside, signalling that the next phase of the robotaxi race may be fought on experience rather than autonomy. For years, autonomous vehicle companies have competed on sensors, safety records…

I’ve been using Alienware laptops since the late 2000s, and one word has always defined the brand for me: excess. The good kind. For the longest time, if a gamer wanted a laptop that looked every bit as powerful as it played, Alienware was the name that came to mind. The bold designs, futuristic aesthetics, and unapologetically over-the-top styling made every machine feel special. Sure, they came with eye-watering price tags, but somehow that always felt justified. After all, nobody expects to buy a Porsche at a discount, right? So when Dell announced a budget-friendly Alienware earlier this year at…

The AI browser race is entering a new phase. After spending much of 2025 trying to reinvent web search with built-in chatbots, startups are increasingly shifting their attention toward browser agents that can automate repetitive work instead of simply answering questions. The latest company to embrace that transition is Polar, a startup founded by former Perplexity engineer Kevin Zhang, which has raised $5.7 million in seed funding led by Madrona. Unlike the first generation of AI browsers that targeted everyday consumers, Polar is designed specifically for knowledge workers. Its premise is straightforward: instead of replacing Google Search, the browser aims…

I’ve used ChatGPT for years, but for the longest time, I never felt the need to pay for it. Instead, I subscribed to Claude Pro because it fit my workflow better. Between regular chat and Cowork, it gave me everything I needed in one place, so paying for another AI subscription didn’t make sense. That changed when OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Work. I was curious enough to give ChatGPT Pro a proper shot, expecting to test one new feature and move on. Instead, I ended up using it far more than I expected. The more I relied on it in my…

If you’ve been waiting to try Dia browser on your Windows device, the wait is almost over. The Browser Company has announced that its AI-first browser will arrive on Windows this fall. While there’s no exact release date yet, interested users can already sign up for the beta waitlist. It is the first official timeline for the Windows version after Dia spent months as a macOS-only browser. Why has Dia browser attracted so much attention? Dia launched on macOS last year as the successor to Arc, the browser that earned a loyal following for rethinking how people browse the web.…

Anyone who’s collaborated on a shared doc knows the horror of opening it to find forty unresolved comments from six different people. Google just handed over the job of sorting through that mess to Gemini. So what can Gemini actually do with your comments now? Google Workspace is rolling out four new Gemini-powered comment features in Google Docs. You can ask Gemini to summarize entire comment threads or, even better, pull out unresolved issues by typing a prompt in natural language that says, “What are the unresolved issues based on the comments?”  It can also add comments on your behalf,…
