Let’s get into what’s actually worth your time.
Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.

Nano Banana didn’t start as a brand; it started as a late-night joke. While preparing the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image for launch, the team needed a codename fast. A playful mashup of personal nicknames stuck, and so did the internet’s attention.
What followed was unexpected virality. Users loved both the model’s powerful image editing and its memorable name. Instead of dialing it back, the team leaned in, banana emojis, yellow buttons, and eventually Nano Banana Pro.
Sometimes, the best tech wins by being unforgettable.

Anthropic appoints Irina Ghose as Managing Director of India, ahead of opening its first Bengaluru office, signaling a major expansion in its second-largest Claude market.
Anthropic’s latest Economic Index introduces “economic primitives”, revealing that AI delivers the biggest productivity gains on complex, high-skill tasks, with uneven effects across jobs, countries, and a potential near-term deskilling risk.
Anthropic launches Labs, a new incubation team designed to rapidly experiment at the frontier of Claude’s capabilities and scale successful ideas into dependable products, with Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger joining the effort.
If ChatGPT feels inconsistent, you’re not doing anything wrong.
