Microsoft 365 Copilot just got a major upgrade. You can now build your own apps, automate workflows, and even create custom AI agents, just by describing what you want in plain English.

With App Builder, anyone can make apps in minutes. Need a dashboard to track a product launch? Type it out. Copilot builds it.

The Workflows agent takes care of the boring stuff. It can send emails, post reminders in Teams, and manage deadlines, all triggered from a single sentence.

Then there’s Copilot Studio, which turns your ideas into fully functional productivity agents. These agents pull info from SharePoint, Teams chats, emails, and even tools like Jira or ServiceNow. When your team’s ready to go big, Copilot Studio scales up for full enterprise use.

Meet Pomelli by Google, a new AI experiment built to take the pain out of marketing. It helps you create fast, on-brand content that actually sounds like your business.

You type in your website. Pomelli studies your brand’s voice, products, and audience. Then it builds campaigns and content that match, social posts, emails, ads, whatever you need.

The goal is simple: no more generic AI writing or hours lost trying to sound “on-brand.”

Pomelli makes scalable, consistent marketing content in minutes, so you can focus on running the business instead of writing about it.

MiniMax just launched Hailuo 2.3, an AI video model that makes cinematic visuals almost too real.

It can generate lifelike motion, expressions, and physics with shocking precision.

The model is already live with partners like Freepik, Runware, and Higgsfield AI, giving users access to over 70 presets for high-resolution clips.

There’s a seven-day unlimited trial, plus a free tier that lets anyone generate up to four videos per day.

MiniMax also released Hailuo 2.3 Fast, a quicker version aimed at creators who need instant results.

Elon Musk has unveiled Grokipedia, a new online encyclopedia he says is built for “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”

The site, powered by Musk’s AI company xAI, aims to compete with Wikipedia, which he’s accused of being biased and full of “propaganda.”

Grokipedia looks simple, just a search bar and a growing list of 885,000 articles—but it’s unclear who writes them.

Reports suggest much of its content is AI-generated using the same model behind Musk’s Grok chatbot, and some entries appear to be adapted directly from Wikipedia.
