TOP NEWS

Perplexity Launches a Real AI Computer

1/4

Perplexity has introduced Perplexity Computer, a general-purpose AI system that can plan, run, and complete full workflows on its own.

Unlike chatbots or single-task agents, it operates like a real digital coworker, using browsers, files, APIs, and tools the same way a human would, for hours or even months if needed.

Perplexity Computer breaks goals into tasks, spins up sub-agents, and orchestrates the best AI models for each job. It combines reasoning, research, coding, images, video, and memory into one system, unifying top models like Opus, Gemini, Veo, Grok, and ChatGPT.

AI CODING

Cursor Replaces Diffs With Demos

2/4

Cursor has changed how code reviews work. Instead of sending diffs, Cursor agents now run the software they build and return demo videos showing the changes in action.

Agents test features end to end in sandboxed environments and share recorded walkthroughs of the result. Cursor says it already uses this internally, with agents creating and testing Cursor itself.

AI AGENT

Claude Lets You Control Code Remotely

3/4

Anthropic has introduced Remote Control for Claude Code. You can start a task in your terminal and continue controlling it from your phone or browser.

Claude keeps running on your machine while you monitor and steer the session remotely.

Remote Control is live in research preview for Max users, with Pro access coming soon. It turns Claude Code into a persistent, mobile-controlled coding agent, letting work continue even when you step away from your desk.

AI CREATIVITY

Flow Becomes a Full AI Studio

4/4

Google has expanded Flow into a full AI creative studio. The update redesigns the interface and brings drafting, visualizing, and refining stories into one continuous workflow.

Images, videos, and text now work together in a single canvas, guided by natural language prompts.

Flow also adds smoother editing and better project management, including an Ingredient Archive for past image assets.
