Call for Me—a feature that’s exclusive to the Pixel 11 series—gives robocalls a new meaning.

Instinct saved me $550, booked my restaurant reservations, and warned me about a phishing scam. It also wasted $64 and might be a security nightmare.

Google's launching an "early experiment" feature on Pixel 11 that lets users delegate local business calls to Gemini, like making a reservation, checking if a product is in stock, or rescheduling an appointment. According to Google, you don't even need to start the call to have Gemini handle it for you: Instead of dialing yourself, […]

A company called Inmo that makes several different variations of smart glasses has issued a recall for its Air3 because the left temple "can overheat during extended use, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to burn hazard."

We seem to be entering into an AI agent renaissance. Meta's new consumer-facing AI agent, Muse, topped the App Store charts soon after its release and has 600,000 daily active users in the US, by an Apptopia estimate. And AI agent platform Instinct, whose eponymous creator is fundraising at a $2.5 billion valuation, has been […]

A pair of developers say that with very little prompting, Meta's Muse will share its entire filesystem with you. Peter James and Jonny L. Saunders have said they both independently coaxed Muse into zipping up and sharing the entire contents of its root filesystem, Ubuntu system files, app templates, and internal documentation. Saunders posted on […]

As Jensen Huang puts it, AI can help fight climate change - but only if it inflicts "an enormous amount of pain and suffering" first. The Nvidia CEO discussed the future of energy and AI's impact on our planet in the latest episode of The Ezra Klein Show. But his comments boil down to the […]

While PC component prices remain high, you can save a good bit of money on a system by purchasing a prebuilt desktop. Walmart has a well-equipped CyberPowerPC gaming PC on sale for $1,549, almost $600 off its original price of $2,139. It’s powered by an Intel Core i7-14700KF processor, and paired with 32GB of 6000MHz […]

Google's new Gemini 3.8 Live update lets users have conversations with the model while watching an animated AI persona respond in real time. The "Live Avatar" will lip-sync and show different facial expressions during conversations, but it's currently only available to Gemini Enterprise customers. As noted by Google, Live Avatar can transition between the 97 […]

ElevenLabs powers the AI voice on the other end of a lot of customer service calls, and its CEO told me this week that businesses should probably tell you that — at least until getting a machine is what everyone expects anyway.

TechCrunch Founder Summit is a full-day gathering in Boston on November 4 where founders across all stages connect with top VCs and experienced entrepreneurs to gain tactical insights on building and scaling their companies.

Databricks has brought cloud spreadsheet startup Row Zero, adding yet another acquisition to its 2026 shopping spree.

Meta’s new AI gadget may look like a Tamagotchi, but its dangling form factor taps into a much broader Gen Z trend around bag charms, retro tech, and turning gadgets into fashion accessories.

The notice would allow Oracle to delay payments should the facility miss its 2028 target to come online.

Feather is betting on a customizable, $30,000 platform built for software developers.

Repo: github.com/v4xsh/sentinel Every month, a bank's card-fraud team opens twenty investigations that a human still has to run to the ground. Was this transaction fraud. What kind. How far did it spread. Do we file a SAR. My submission to Hacker House Goa × TigerGraph is Sentinel, an agent that reads six months of the Vesta card-transaction graph and produces, for each flagged alert, a verdict, a fraud-pattern label, the actions the bank should take with §2 approval routes, and a FinCEN-sh...

Introduction Open Walnut is a self-hosted web app for running Claude Code sessions. Every session sits on a task, and the task board shows which sessions are running and which are waiting for you. When you type a new task, Walnut tries to fill in its project, priority and pinned tier while you are still typing. Since September 2026 those guesses can come from Jev, a decision-only model from TypeSafe AI, instead of a Claude model. On 53 of my own tasks with a known project, Jev picked th...

Code review is one of the most critical steps in software development, yet it remains heavily locked into centralized web platforms. When you rebase a branch or work offline, discussions are scattered or lost. We built git-notes to bring code reviews back into Git itself. 💡 How It Works git-notes leverages Git's built-in refs/notes/* reference architecture: Comments : refs/notes/comments Reviews & Approvals : refs/notes/review Todos : refs/notes/t...

A small open-source patch often dies in review for reasons that never appear in the diff stat. A contributor copies a failing CI log into a chat box and asks a model to propose a fix. The log still holds a short-lived fixture token and an absolute path from the runner home directory. The returned diff also deletes a comment that explained why a locale-sensitive comparison had to stay explicit. The pull request then looks cleaner than the bug, and that kind of cleanliness is a poor form of pro...

I Embedded a Native Camera Preview in Flutter (And Learned Exactly Where MethodChannel Stops Being Enough) Seven years into mobile engineering, I wanted to answer a question I've seen a few times: when do you actually need PlatformView instead of MethodChannel? Most answers I've seen are either "PlatformView is for native UI" (true, but not useful) or skip straight to copy-pasteable boilerplate with none of the failure modes that actually teach you anything. Over the weekend, I built a sm...
