👋 Good morning.
Someone audited 102 apps in one F-Droid update batch and judged 74 of them mostly written by AI. That is 72.5% of the open-source Android store's newest arrivals, per the audit. Open source. Closed authorship.
IN 3 MINUTES, GET 1% BETTER THAN EVERYONE YOU KNOW:
Claude runs your Monday brief. You approve the wire.
Gemini thinks while it talks, in 97 languages

Claude for Small Business shipped 43 workflows and 27 new integrations on Tuesday, all running inside Cowork, Claude's desktop mode for multi-step jobs, per Anthropic. Slash commands like /monday-brief, /speed-to-lead and /close-month now sit next to Shopify, Square, Stripe, QuickBooks and Zapier. The plugin has been installed more than 900,000 times since May. Human approval before anything sends, posts or pays stays the default. Every paid plan gets it, Team is the tier for shops with staff, and free half-day workshops hit 10 US cities this fall.
Try this: Install the Small Business plugin in Cowork and run /monday-brief once on whatever you already have connected. Read the brief before you trust it with the books.
Your AI can prep the Monday. You still approve the wire.
Would you let Claude run your Monday brief?
Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking landed Tuesday for voice, per Google. Live is tuned for scale and cost. Extended Thinking reasons through multi-step problems while it talks and tops Artificial Analysis's speech quality index at 82.6. Both take near-real-time visual input, switch between 97 languages mid-conversation, and run tool calls in the background without pausing the chat. Rolling out now in Search Live, the Gemini API and AI Studio, with Extended Thinking in Workspace and enterprise preview.
Try this: Ask Gemini Live one multi-step question out loud, then interrupt it halfway. The interruption is the test.
It can think out loud. Your commute just got a briefing.
Salesforce in Claude is a beta plugin that pulls accounts, opportunities and pipeline into Claude under your existing Salesforce permissions, with 37 pre-built sales skills, per Anthropic. Morning briefs, call prep from Salesforce plus Slack and email, deal scores, post-call updates, pipeline dashboards. Claude asks before it writes to a record. Beta on every paid plan; an admin requests access through AgentExchange and connects once for the whole org. 7,000 sellers at GitLab, Siemens and Legora already run it.
Try this: If you sell in Salesforce, have your admin request access and run one call-prep skill before your next meeting. Salesforce stays the system of record.
Thirty-seven skills. Zero permission to close without you.
2 Things you didn't know you can do with AI
1. 🎥 Prompt the frames · Claude Opus 5
Kevin Ngo had Claude Opus 5 draw every frame of a 28-second animation in JavaScript: no video, no images, just code computing each riso-style frame from scratch. Claude even proved it: no hidden media, rendered fully offline, and each scene is a function, feed it a different seed and get a new variation, something a stored video never could. Paste a brief for a canvas or SVG loop and ask for runnable code, not a clip. The catch: it is a demo, not a pipeline. Expect three tries before it moves the way you meant.
2. 📉 Cancel the wearable, rebuild the slice · Codex
When Alex Holovach's WHOOP subscription expired, he had Codex reverse-engineer the app: telemetry into Prometheus, Grafana and a custom app for the charts, Hermes to plan the workouts. Next on his list, his own Zwift and Strava. The catch: this is inspiration for the three screens you actually use, not a licence to clone a product.

Gemini Notebook added study tools Tuesday, per Google. A voice tutor on mobile that answers from your own sources in nearly 100 languages, Ultra subscribers 18 and over first, Pro soon. An audio recorder for lectures from next week. Interactive learning overviews with quizzes and flashcards, and 60-second Short Video Overviews in 80-plus languages. US students get a year of Google AI Pro free through December 31.
The catch: the tutor is Ultra-only this week and adults only. Everyone else gets the recorder first. Load one notebook with a real source and wait for the talk button.
Flashcards that talk back. Your syllabus just got a tutor.
