Ford just announced an AI assistant that knows your car. Unlike generic voice assistants, this one pulls real-time data from your vehicle's sensors like tire pressure, cargo capacity, towing limits. If you show it a picture of a trailer, it'll tell you if your truck can handle towing it. Ask how many bags of mulch fit in your trunk, and it factors in your specific model's interior dimensions. It's hosted on Google Cloud and built on existing LLMs, which signals how automakers are approaching AI: focus on data integration, let the cloud providers handle the models.

Anthropic just dropped Claude Code 2.1.0 and if you're the type who codes by feel and iterates until it works, this release removes a lot of friction. The theme is less restarting, more building. Here's what vibe coders are getting:

The small stuff adds up too: improved Vim support for those who live in the terminal, better syntax highlighting, and smoother handling of large conversations without the lag. Claude Code launched almost a year ago alongside Sonnet 3.7. Now powered by Opus 4.5, it's evolved into "this is actually how I build things now."

Try this: Create a ~/.claude/skills folder and drop in a markdown file describing a repetitive task. Claude Code picks it up immediately without and config or restart. That's the vibe.

Gmail is entering what Google calls the Gemini era. The rollout, which started this week, brings AI Overviews to email, the same summarization tech that now appears in Google Search. Open an email thread with dozens of replies, and Gemini synthesizes the entire conversation into key points. Ask your inbox a question, and it generates an answer. Here's what's new:

The contentious part: many features are enabled by default. To disable AI, you have to turn off Gmail's "Smart Features" entirely, which also kills inbox tabs and message sorting. Google says Gemini 3 processes everything in an isolated privacy architecture and won't train future models on your email content.

For your team: If your org uses Google Workspace, this affects everyone. Worth a quick audit of what's on vs. what your security policies require.

The new AI Inbox feature is progressively rolling out, so may not be available in your region just yet.

*Works best with unopened threads as Gemini prioritizes unread content.
