The Latest AI Developments

🌍 Google Drops a Playable World Engine

Project Genie lets you type a prompt and walk through the 3D world it builds in real time. It sketches environments, lets you explore as it renders, and remixes existing creations on the fly. Right now it has some physics quirks, but the tech is awesome.

🤫 Apple's $2B Bet on Silent Speech

Apple scooped up Q.⁠ai, a startup that reads facial micro-movements to interpret what you mouth or whisper. Patents hint at AirPods and smart glasses integration. The kicker: Q.⁠ai's CEO built the tech behind Face ID.

🗺️ Google Maps Now Talks Back

Gemini goes hands-free for walkers and cyclists, answering questions mid-navigation without leaving the screen. Ask about nearby bathrooms, text friends you're running late, or get neighborhood info while you move.

Granola – The AI Notepad for Meetings

Most AI note-takers just transcribe what was said and send you a summary after the call.

Granola is an AI notepad. And that difference matters.

You start with a clean, simple notepad. You jot down what matters to you and, in the background, Granola transcribes the meeting.

When the meeting ends, Granola uses your notes to generate clearer summaries, action items, and next steps, all from your point of view.

Then comes the powerful part: you can chat with your notes. Use Recipes (pre-made prompts) to write follow-up emails, pull out decisions, prep for your next meeting, or turn conversations into real work in seconds.

Think of it as a super-smart notes app that actually understands your meetings.
