Gemini Spark Arrives on macOS for Google AI Ultra Users

Google is rolling out Gemini Spark, its agentic AI assistant, to the Gemini macOS app for US-based Google AI Ultra subscribers. Spark can perform local tasks like sorting PDFs and creating spreadsheets from invoices, and can operate with files in Google Workspace apps. Future updates will allow Spark to run tasks from your phone, and it will email you files if needed. It requires permission to access files and will only access what you authorize. It can link with Google Tasks and Keep, and upcoming integrations include Canva, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow Rental. The feature is in beta, US-only, for 18+ users paying $100/month.)

Microsoft Scout: OpenClaw-Powered Personal AI for Microsoft 365

Microsoft is previewing Scout, an always-on personal AI assistant built on OpenClaw that integrates with Microsoft 365 apps to manage calendars, emails, travel, and tasks. It reads Teams and email to surface what matters, can suggest optimal travel times, and is designed to run in the cloud with a desktop Frontier preview in the US before broader rollout, backed by security measures like sandboxing, Defender, and privacy reviews. Microsoft is contributing to the OpenClaw core rather than shipping a separate product, while Google pursues Gemini Spark to connect with Workspace apps, signaling a new enterprise AI race.

Edge Shuts Copilot Mode as AI Features Go Native Across Desktop and Mobile

Microsoft is retiring Copilot Mode in Edge because most Copilot features are now built directly into the browser across desktop and mobile. New capabilities include Journeys for saving and revisiting projects, Vision and Voice for hands‑free browsing, long‑term memory to recall previous chats, Study and Learn mode with guided quizzes, a Writing Assistant for drafts and tone adjustments, and a tab‑to‑podcast feature (English markets only); users can customize which features are enabled in Edge settings.

Google's Remy Could Turn Gemini Into a Proactive AI Helper

Google reportedly is testing Remy, a Gemini-powered AI assistant designed to act as a proactive digital operator inside the Gemini app, capable of managing work, school and personal tasks, learning user habits, and planning actions beyond simple questions. The move signals a shift toward agentic AI—integrating planning and task execution across Google services like Workspace, Android and Search—though no launch date is set and privacy concerns persist.

Moltbot: From Clawdbot’s viral pivot to a resilient open-source AI assistant

An open-source AI assistant that started as Clawdbot exploded online, went through a rapid rebrand to Moltbot after trademark pressure from Anthropic, and faced crypto-scam hijacks and handle squatting during the chaos. Moltbot aims to live inside messaging apps, remembers conversations across weeks, offers proactive notifications, and can automate tasks by routing work to AI backends (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) while leveraging local hardware. It surged to tens of thousands of GitHub stars in days but isn’t a polished enterprise product and requires careful cybersecurity. The project continues with documentation and safeguards as the community builds around a now-iconic lobster mascot.
