Claude is taking another step toward becoming an AI assistant that can actually get things done, rather than simply telling users what to do. Anthropic has expanded Claude’s Gmail integration, so the AI can now reply to, send, and forward emails on a user’s behalf without requiring approval every time. The capability builds on an existing Claude connector for Google Workspace, which already allowed users to work with Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive. Sending an email was the notable missing piece. That changes with the latest update, although users still control whether Claude needs permission before sending messages. Claude…

The footage appears to come from an unfinished build, and the original uploads were quickly removed following copyright claims. The leaked videos also reportedly carried cryptocurrency advertisements and QR codes, making their authenticity difficult to independently establish. First spotted on Reddit, the…

There was a time when Siri was the best voice assistant. Then it lost its crown to the likes of Google Assistant and Alexa. Now, with the rise of AI assistants like Google Gemini and ChatGPT Voice, the competition has become even more fierce.  Thankfully, after letting Siri stagnate for years, Apple has finally given it the attention it deserved. And while there’s still a long way to go, I cannot deny that I am enjoying using this new Siri, and it has become more useful in my daily life than ever before.  That said, Siri is only as useful…

Picture this. Meta flies parenting influencers to a waterfront venue overlooking Sydney Harbour, hands out personalized scout badges and gourmet s’mores, then asks them to tell their followers that blanket bans on teen social media use are a bad idea. That’s what happened, according to a new Tech Transparency Project investigation, which found Meta staged the Sydney event in July 2025, five months before Australia’s landmark under-16 ban took effect. TTP’s report shows that this exact playbook has now spread to more than a dozen countries where governments have started weighing similar restrictions. How Meta’s influencer playbook works The pattern…

Whether you’re a writer working from home, a corporate professional hopping between meetings, or someone whose “quick task” turns into three hours at a desk, your office chair gets far more use than you realize. Finding the right ergonomic office chair isn’t just about fixing stiffness but about building a workspace that genuinely supports how you work. Adjustable lumbar support, seat depth, armrests, recline, and proper spinal alignment all make a measurable difference when you…
