🧠 Gemini Can Now Read Your Mind (Almost)

Google shipped three new features for Gemini Live this week: hands-free Gmail, Daily Brief, and Spark. You don't pick which app to use. Just talk, and Gemini handles it.

Let’s say you have an idea you want to note down on your daily walk. You simply talk through your idea, and Gemini Live Spark turns it into a structured Doc by the time you sit down. Or you can ask "What's my daily brief?" and it reads your calendar and inbox aloud. Say "Any urgent emails?" and it can search, star, or archive without you touching the screen.

Setup takes just two minutes: connect Gmail and Calendar in Gemini settings, tap Live, and start talking. If you're already in Gmail and Calendar, you can use this today.

Right now, when someone asks ChatGPT to use your product, the agent has to guess how your UI works—clicking around, reading text, trying to figure it out. WebMCP fixes that by exposing your website's functions as tools that AI agents can call directly.

OpenAI's running a WebMCP Challenge through September 3rd to get people building this. Setting this up is simple: Add WebMCP to your site, test it in ChatGPT's desktop browser or Chrome 149, and submit.

Top 10 entries get $3,000, a year of ChatGPT Pro, and a Codex Micro.

If your product is something people might ask AI to help with such as booking, searching, submitting data, this is the week to make it agent-ready instead of agent-proof.

Here’s the link to register for the challenge.

We have AI agents that are researching, planning and deciding for us. The missing piece? Making payments. Agentcard (YC S26) solves that by giving an agent its own debit card. Fund a wallet, set a budget, and issue one-time cards that close after a single charge.

Which means, you can simply tell Claude to order DoorDash, and it handles the whole checkout autonomously.

They have a safety angle built in where if something goes wrong, you're only exposed on that one capped card, not your whole bank account. This works with every card and is PCI compliant.

You already delegate research and planning to AI. But agents still can't actually do work—they hand it back for you to execute. OpenWorker the AI agent Andrew Ng shipped, runs on your own computer and carries tasks through from start to finish: your code reviewed for vulnerabilities with fixes ready to go, your cloud configuration checked, a polished document delivered, a Slack thread answered.

Bring your own model and API keys or run it fully local with Ollama. Download for Mac (Windows coming soon) and try it if you want an agent that can touch your files without sending your entire setup to someone else's cloud.

Lighting is what separates "good enough" from "professional"—but fixing it usually means reshooting. Higgsfield Relight gives you complete control over light direction and mood on a studio level: adjust angle, intensity, and temperature with precision, toggle between soft and hard light, and generate in seconds.

It's especially useful for product photographers wanting to make products "pop" and anyone wanting to switch up the look of their photos. Use it to rescue a backlit portrait, add drama to a flat product shot, or give your visuals a cinematic edge—all without reshooting.

Every morning you check email, Slack, and your calendar. ChatGPT scheduled tasks can now take care of it. Create a task once, schedule it and it runs automatically.

Free users get 3 tasks per day. Plus users get 5 and can set hourly schedules. On Plus or Pro, you can also connect Gmail, Slack, or GitHub so ChatGPT responds to events automatically, like drafting a reply when someone mentions pricing in Slack.

This can be set up via browser only for now (we tested it on our desktop app and it didn’t work). Here’s how to set it up from your browser:
