Microsoft wants its AI to evolve from just answering your questions to actually starting and completing tasks for you. That’s the whole idea behind Microsoft Copilot Cowork, which launched through the Frontier program earlier this year.  Since then, it has gained several features allowing people to manage their email inboxes, conduct research, generate documents, and build web pages. Today, Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, announced a set of new capabilities that take Cowork quite a bit further. New in Copilot Cowork: mobile, skills, and plugins.Now available on iOS and Android, so you can delegate work from your phone, pick it back…

Every time you ask ChatGPT to help draft an email, vent about a relationship problem, or look up symptoms, you might be handing over more than just a query. As reported by TechXplore, Researchers at ETH Zurich trained an AI model to predict personality traits directly from real ChatGPT conversation logs, and it was scarily good at recognizing personality traits. The study collected 62,090 real conversations from 668 ChatGPT users. Participants also completed a standard personality test, giving the researchers a baseline to measure against. The AI was then trained to classify each user as low, medium, or high across…

There’s going to be a significant shift in how AI works across Apple’s devices, and you’re going to be at its center. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 27 and its major siblings (iPadOS 27 and macOS 27) will allow users to select from competing third-party AI models to handle tasks across core Apple Intelligence features.  I’d like you to think of it as using your TV’s remote to set the desired channel and watch it, except the remote is iOS 27 and the channels are some of the most popular AI models that you’ve been using elsewhere.  What exactly…

OpenAI has swapped out GPT-5.3 Instant for GPT-5.5 Instant as the default ChatGPT model, rolling the update out to all users starting today. The new model focuses on improving three things: accuracy, conciseness, and personalization. Less hallucination, less fluff OpenAI says the accuracy improvements are most notable in high-stakes subject areas. In internal testing, GPT-5.5 Instant produced 52.5% fewer hallucinated claims than its predecessor on prompts covering medicine, law, and finance, and 37.3% fewer inaccurate claims on conversations users had previously flagged for errors. GPT-5.5 Instant is starting to roll out in ChatGPT.It’s a big upgrade, giving you smarter, clearer,…

Google isn’t just tweaking Google Home this time; instead, it’s quietly turning it into something far more capable. And the focus is clear: give users real control over how their smart homes behave. What’s new in the Google Home update? The new update, announced on the official Google Nest Community, is all about expanding automation capabilities across supported devices, and it’s a much bigger leap than it sounds. Google has added a wide range of new starters, conditions, and actions, which means automations can now respond to far more specific triggers and states. For example, users can now build automations…

When it comes to flagship phones, the word “Ultra” has started to lose meaning. Every brand throws it around, but very few actually deliver something that feels… ultra. Take the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, for instance. It’s a solid phone, sure, but exciting? Not quite. And that’s the bigger issue with the US market right now. Some of the most interesting Android flagships simply don’t make it here. Meanwhile, brands like Vivo, Oppo, and Honor are quietly pushing smartphone cameras into territory that feels closer to dedicated cameras than ever before. And then there’s the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. After using…

The iPhone’s journey began in 2007 by changing the smartphone market forever, replacing physical keyboards with a 3.5-inch multi-touch display. Now, as the device moves toward its 20th anniversary, Apple may be preparing for another major design shift, a seamless, completely buttonless iPhone. Is Apple planning its biggest iPhone redesign in years? Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has added fresh weight to the iPhone 20 redesign rumors. In the Q&A section of his Power On newsletter, Gurman said Apple’s 20th-anniversary iPhone overhaul is internally referred to by some as “Glasswing,” a name inspired by the glasswing butterfly and its transparent wings. According…
