FRESH AI NEWS

Waymo tests Gemini in robotaxis 🚕 

Waymo is testing an AI assistant in its robotaxis, using Google's Gemini, to answer rider questions and manage cabin functions, creating a real in-car companion 🚗

• Waymo is experimenting with integrating a Gemini-based AI assistant in its autonomous vehicles 📋

• A leaked 1,200+-line “Ride Assistant Meta-Prompt” defines how the AI should behave and respond 🗣️

• It can manage select in-car features like temperature, lighting, and music ❄️

• It may greet riders by name and tailor replies to the journey context 🧠

• It won’t control critical systems like route changes, vehicle steering, or navigation ⛔

Why You Should Care: Integrating a Gemini-powered AI assistant into driverless cars could enhance autonomous rides by offering practical help and a co-pilot experience, advancing conversational AI in mobility services.

Alexa+ expands with new app partners 🤝 

Alexa+ is enhancing its AI features by integrating Angi, Expedia, Square, and Yelp, enabling users to book travel, find local services, schedule appointments, and access business info via voice 🤖

• Alexa+ users can discover, compare, and book hotels via Expedia using voice commands to specify preferences and manage reservations 🧳 

• With Angi integration, Alexa+ helps users find local professionals, request quotes, and book services using natural language 🔨

• Alexa+ uses Yelp to access reviews and business listings, helping users find local services, read ratings, and make informed choices without a separate app 📍

• The Square partnership enables Alexa+ to manage appointments with local wellness and personal care providers via voice commands 💇‍♀️

• These tasks can be completed using everyday language, allowing users to refine requests through chat without menus or app navigation 🗣️

Why You Should Care: These additions make Alexa+ a conversational hub for travel, local services, and appointments, minimizing the need for separate apps or websites.

Nvidia makes $20B Groq acquisition 🚀 

Nvidia made a ≈ $20 billion deal to acquire key assets and talent from AI chip maker Groq, marking its biggest strategic move in AI hardware 💸

• Nvidia agreed to pay about $20 billion for Groq’s assets and technology 💰

• Groq founder Jonathan Ross and key leaders are set to join Nvidia 🧠

• Groq creates powerful AI processors called LPUs that work quickly and with minimal delay 🔧

• Groq’s cloud business continues operating separately under new leadership 🏢

• This would mark Nvidia’s largest ever AI-related acquisition and a major hardware bet 📈

Why You Should Care: This move boosts Nvidia's dominance in AI silicon, particularly for real-time inference, and highlights the need for hardware diversity beyond GPUs as AI systems expand across industries.

MANAGE FINANCE WITH AI

Manage business finances with Claude 💼 

Discover how to turn disorganized financial files into a neat, easy-to-understand finance dashboard with Claude. This will give you a clear view of your business numbers without the hassle of spreadsheets or needing outside assistance ✅

Here’s how to get started 👇️ 

1. Open Claude and set up your workspace by signing in (a paid plan works best for multi-file analysis), choosing Sonnet 4.5, and turning on deeper reasoning and live search from the settings panel.

2. Upload all your financial files at once, like sales reports, expense logs, invoices, and stock sheets. Then, describe what you need, such as a monthly summary, a cash-flow overview, or a detailed report with charts for investors.

3. Examine the first version of the dashboard where Claude organizes your data into clear KPIs like profit margins, spending breakdowns, and trend visuals, then refine it by asking for layout, metric, or chart changes in plain English.

4. Layer in smarter insights and sharing features like aging reports for unpaid invoices, cost spikes by category, or weekly comparisons, and publish the final artifact to share a live link with your team.

Pro Tip: Use this setup as a recurring financial check-in. Updating the dashboard regularly makes it obvious where cash leaks are happening and where doubling down could drive growth ✨
