Perplexity AI has rolled out its Comet browser globally at no cost. The browser acts as a personal assistant, able to search, organize tabs, draft emails, shop and more. Originally reserved for $200/month Max subscribers, Comet quickly attracted a waitlist of millions. Now available for free, it positions Perplexity against rivals like Google’s Gemini in Chrome, OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s browser agents.

OpenAI's Sora app saw 56,000 downloads on its first day. It is now ranked third Top Overall app on the US App Store, despite being invite-only and limited to users in the US and Canada. The ChatGPT app and Google's Gemini iOS apps had stronger launches, with each reaching at least 80,000 downloads on day one, but since Sora is invite-only, that may not be a fair comparison.

Andreessen Horowitz released its AI Spending Report, analyzing transaction patterns from fintech startup Mercury’s 200,000+ customers to show which AI companies are capturing real startup dollars versus just generating traffic. OpenAI took the top spot, with Anthropic in the second place, and Perplexity (No. 12) and Merlin AI (No. 30) rounding out the list of general assistants.

Google launched Jules Tools, a new command-line interface and public API for its autonomous coding agent, allowing developers to trigger tasks and monitor progress from terminals rather than switching to separate browser windows. Developers can now control Jules through typed commands in terminal windows, automating repetitive tasks or creating coding assignments.

Anthropic has hired Rahul Patil, former Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Stripe, as its new CTO to help strengthen its AI infrastructure and improve the speed, reliability, and safety of its AI platforms. Patil, who is replacing Anthropic co-founder Sam McCandlish (who is now Anthropic’s Chief Architect and will primarily work on AI model training), will focus on compute, infrastructure, and other engineering tasks.

AI Tutorial

Turn any logo into a 3D design with AI

  1. Go to ChatGPT and sign in.

  2. Upload a clean black-and-white version of your logo or icon.

  3. Search Google Images for “Cinema 4D materials” or “Blender textures,” or look for specific materials like marble, metal, wood, or glass; save the PNG.

  4. Upload both the logo and texture into ChatGPT-4o and prompt:

“Create a 3D version of this logo (left image) using the texture from the right image. Cinema 4D style, 8K quality, realistic lighting and shadows, black background.”

  1. If needed, refine the output by asking for tweaks like “Make it more metallic”, “Add more depth”, or “Change the lighting angle.”

Tip: experiment with unusual textures like fabric, ice, or even food to make your design stand out.

Economic pressure is rising,  and doing more with less has become the new reality. But surviving a downturn isn’t about stretching yourself thinner; it’s about protecting what matters most.
