Plus: Check these AI Tools
Good morning, builders and byte bosses!
AI just leveled up againāand itās not just about chatbots anymore. From DIY app creation to terminal takeovers and genome decoding, todayās updates hit every corner of the AI frontier. Whether youāre into code, science, or catching up on unread WhatsApp messages without the social guilt, weāve got you.
Letās break it all down š
Stop Asking AI Questions, and Start Building Personal AI Software.
Feeling overwhelmed by AI options or stuck on basic prompts? The AI Fast Track is your 5-day roadmap to solving problems faster with next-level artificial intelligence.
This free email course cuts through the noise with practical knowledge and real-world examples delivered daily. You'll go from learning essential foundations to writing effective prompts, building powerful Artifacts, creating a personal AI assistant, and developing working softwareāall without coding.
Join thousands who've transformed their workflows and future-proofed their AI skills in just one week.
š” Build AI Apps with a Sentence
Claude Just Became a No-Code Playground for Everyone
Anthropicās Claude has gone from chatbot to build-a-bot. You can now create, host, and share full-blown AI-powered appsāwithout touching a single line of code.
š§ The deets:
Just describe your idea (think: āmake me a daily news summarizerā), and Claude will generate all the code automatically.
Your apps live in Claudeās new āArtifactsā space, making sharing and iterating super easy.
Free-tier users can join the fun. Pro ($20/mo) and Team ($25ā30/mo) tiers unlock more power.
You donāt need to handle billing, API keys, or tokens for other usersāClaude handles that.
Over 500M Artifacts have already been created since August 2024.
š„ Why it matters: Claude is becoming more than a chatbotāitās an ecosystem. This move makes AI app-building accessible for non-coders and frictionless for pros.
āļø Google Launches Gemini CLI
The Command Line Gets an AI Sidekick
Google just dropped an open-source Gemini CLI tool that lets devs summon Gemini 2.5 Pro straight from the terminal. No web UI, just raw AI power in your command line.
š§āš» Whatās under the hood:
60 reqs/min & 1,000 daily queriesāall free
Built with Apache 2.0 license & Model Context Protocol support
Handles search, file management, commands, image + video generation
Syncs directly with Googleās Code Assist for dev workflows
Includes project-specific config via
GEMINI.md
š£ Why it matters: Google is making a big betāout-freemiuming OpenAI and Anthropic to lure devs into its AI stack. If it works, devs may never leave their terminals again.
𧬠DeepMind Enters the DNA Game
AlphaGenome Could Reshape Genetic Research
Google DeepMind just introduced AlphaGenome, an AI model that predicts how mutations affect DNAāacross millions of base pairs at once.
𧬠Hereās what it does:
Reads DNA sequences 100x longer than legacy tools
Predicts gene activity and regulatory region behavior in one model
Used on leukemia patients to flag cancer-causing gene switches
Trained in just 4 hours with half the compute of its predecessor
š§ Why it matters: This is computational biology on steroids. Researchers can now simulate genetic hypotheses before hitting the labāspeeding up discovery and saving costs.
š¬ AI Recaps Are Coming to WhatsApp
Unread Messages? Meta AIās Got You
Meta is rolling out AI-powered summaries inside WhatsApp chats, giving you TL;DRs of unread messagesāprivately, of course.
š Key takeaways:
The summaries are only visible to you
