Microsoft launched Copilot Mode in Edge, allowing users to interact with an AI assistant through a chat window in each new tab. Copilot Mode integrates AI-generated responses, search results, and navigation, and can summarize or compare information across all open tabs. The update includes Copilot Actions, which can unsubscribe users from marketing emails or book reservations, though these features are in limited preview and may not always function as intended. Microsoft also introduced Journeys, an AI tool that organizes browsing history by topic and suggests related searches. Users can enable Copilot Mode and related features by downloading Edge and adjusting settings on Microsoft's website.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Hey everyone, Alex here! Welcome... to the browser war II - the AI edition! This week we chatted in depth about ChatGPT's new Atlas agentic browser, and the additional agentic powers Microsoft added to Edge with Copilot Mode (tho it didn't work for me) Also this week was a kind of crazy OCR week, with more than 4 OCR models releasing, and the crown one is DeepSeek OCR, that turned the whole industry on it's head (more later) Quite a few video updates as well, with real time lipsync from Decart, and a new update from LTX with 4k native video generation, it's been a busy AI week for sure! Additionally, I've had the pleasure to talk about AI Browsing agents with Paul from BrowserBase and real time video with Kwindla Kramer from Pipecat/Daily, so make sure to tune in for those interviews, buckle up, let's dive in! Thanks for reading ThursdAI - Recaps of the most high signal AI weekly spaces! This post is public so feel free to share it.Open Source: OCR is Not What You Think It Is (X, HF, Paper)The most important and frankly mind-bending release this week came from DeepSeek. They dropped DeepSeek-OCR, and let me tell you, this is NOT just another OCR model. The cohost were buzzing about this, and once I dug in, I understood why. This isn't just about reading text from an image; it's a revolutionary approach to context compression.We think that DeepSeek needed this as an internal tool, so we're really grateful to them for open sourcing this, as they did something crazy here. They are essentially turning text into a visual representation, compressing it, and then using a tiny vision decoder to read it back with incredible accuracy. We're talking about a compression ratio of up to 10x with 97% decoding accuracy. Even at 20x compression they are achieving 60% decoding accuracy! My head exploded live on the show when I read that. This is like the middle-out compression algorithm joke from Silicon Valley, but it's real. As Yam pointed out, this suggests our current methods of text tokenization are far from optimal.With only 3B and ~570M active parameters, they are taking a direct stab at long context inefficiency, imagine taking 1M tokens, encoding them into 100K visual tokens, and then feeding those into a model. Since the model is tiny, it's very cheap to run, for example, alphaXiv claimed they have OCRd' all of the papers on ArXiv with this model for $1000, a task that would have cost $7500 using MistalOCR - as per their paper, with DeepSeek OCR, on a single H100 GPU, its possible to scan up to 200K pages!

A dona do ChatGPT lançou o Atlas, um navegador que promete mudar a forma como nos relacionamos com a internet. Além das novas formas de utilização, a Open AI visa um mercado que é actualmente dominado pelo Chrome, da Google. Cátia Pesquita, Professora em Ciência de Dados e Inteligência Artificial no Departamento de Informática da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, respondeu às perguntas da RFI para esclarecer as dúvidas sobre o significado do lançamento do ChatGPT Atlas. A Open AI, proprietária do ChatGPT, lançou um navegador com o famoso agente de inteligência artificial generativa no seu núcleo no dia 21 de Outubro. De momento, o ChatGPT Atlas está apenas disponível nos computadores da Apple. Os sistemas Windows, Android e iOS do iPhone vão ter de aguardar. Para a empresa de Sam Altman, trata-se de uma inovação que vai revolucionar a forma como nos relacionamos com a internet. Vamos ter ao nosso dispor uma ferramenta que vai aprender quem somos e transformar-se num super-assistente que nos ajuda a realizar as nossas tarefas de forma mais rápida e eficaz. Os críticos apontam para a falta de segurança do sistema, nomeadamente no que diz respeito aos dados privados do utilizador. Por outro lado, o Chat GPT Atlas é construído com base no Chromium, uma estrutura de código aberto desenvolvida pela Google e que está na base de navegadores como o Microsoft Edge ou o Duckduckgo. RFI: Estamos perante uma revolução, à semelhança do que viria a ser o iPhone no campo dos telemóveis. Ou trata-se de um ataque comercial à Google que domina o mercado dos navegadores com o Chrome? Cátia Pesquita: Eu acho que o lançamento do Atlas é, sem dúvida, uma ameaça directa à hegemonia do Google Chrome, que é actualmente o browser mais usado a nível mundial. E é interessante ver como a história às vezes se repete. Porque o Chrome ganhou esta preponderância, em parte, porque conseguiu integrar directamente o motor de pesquisa da Google, permitindo aos utilizadores fazerem pesquisas directamente na barra de endereços. Hoje em dia, temos uma estimativa de mais de 14 mil milhões de pesquisas feitas na Google a nível global, muito graças a esta integração. Agora, a Open AI vê neste browser uma oportunidade de capitalizar a sua base de utilizadores. Se estamos perante uma revolução, temos de esperar um pouco para saber. RFI: Quando refiro o iPhone é porque na altura, quando foi lançado, já existiam telemóveis. O que aconteceu com o dispositivo da Apple foi que os utilizadores começaram a ter acesso a outras possibilidades e isso veio revolucionar toda a forma como nos relacionamos com a internet. Há a possibilidade do ChatPT vir a fazer isto? Cátia Pesquita: Eu diria que é a capacidade de automatizar uma série de interacções online que vai ter esse potencial de revolução. A Open AI promete automatizar tarefas mundanas, como marcar uma visita ao restaurante ou uma consulta médica, tudo através desta integração da inteligência artificial directamente num browser. Isto, obviamente tem muitas vantagens, mas também riscos associados. RFI: Os mais jovens, em termos de busca de informação, já estão a alterar os seus comportamentos com o recurso à inteligência artificial generativa. Em que medida é que a aprendizagem que o agente vai fazer dos hábitos de navegação do utilizador, pode provocar um estreitar de vistas ainda maior, semelhante ao que sucede já com os algoritmos das redes sociais? Cátia Pesquita: A Open AI está muito ciente desta alteração dos comportamentos online e, na verdade, há poucos meses, em entrevista, o Sam Altman, o CEO da Open AI, revelou que o plano de expansão está a ser inspirado pela forma como os utilizadores mais jovens interagem com a plataforma. Enquanto as camadas de maior idade usam-no essencialmente como motor de busca para encontrar informação, os mais jovens estão a usar desde já o ChatGPT como um serviço pessoal de inteligência artificial para os ajudar a tomar as suas decisões no dia a dia. E, portanto, eu vejo o Atlas como um primeiro passo nesta estratégia. Só que esta personalização vem com um custo potencialmente muito elevado, porque para a termos, temos de permitir à Open AI registar toda a nossa actividade online. Mas eu acho que um dos maiores riscos não é apenas esta perda de controlo sobre os nossos dados ou a dependência excessiva na IA de que tanto falamos, mas aquilo também a que se refere que é esta perda de pluralidade de vozes e perspectivas. E na verdade, ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, a Internet tem sido um arauto desta pluralidade de vozes e perspectivas. Os motores de busca tradicionais, como a Google, listam diferentes fontes relacionadas com o tema de pesquisa, ainda que coordenadas por relevância, claro, mas o resultado de pesquisa que vai ser processado por IA, tarefas que são automatizadas por IA, têm um grande potencial de se resumirem ao ponto de vista partilhado pela maioria das fontes, estreitando horizontes. E é assim que os modelos são treinados para captar aquilo que é a maioria das opiniões. E, portanto, o grande desafio aqui vai ser garantir que as nossas pesquisas e interacções online reflictam a diversidade de ideias, opiniões, perspectivas da humanidade. Claro, sem esquecer que têm de ser fundamentadas em fontes fidedignas. A mim resta-me saber se os gigantes tecnológicos partilham desta preocupação. RFI: Isso implica também que os mais velhos, os educadores, cumpram esse papel de explicação aos mais jovens, que há mais mundo além daquilo que lhes é dado através do ecrã? Cátia Pesquita: Este é um tema extremamente complexo. Isto não basta apenas as preocupações da sociedade de uma forma alargada numa educação da população geral, mas onde temos que intervir antes, mas mais atrás, e intervir ao nível do desenvolvimento destas tecnologias. E como todas as tecnologias com potencial de disrupção, é uma espada de dois gumes. Por um lado, todos queremos poder usar inteligência artificial para automatizar as tarefas do dia-a-dia, as tarefas mais mundanas, mais aborrecidas ou até ter um browser que antecipa as nossas necessidades. Por outro lado, nós queremos garantir que temos privacidade, transparência, que mantemos a nossa autonomia nas nossas decisões. Só que para navegar este desafio, não só temos de educar a população geral para os riscos e benefícios de uma tecnologia que não vai parar de evoluir. Mas também temos de apostar na formação de profissionais que aliam o conhecimento técnico e científico às preocupações éticas. RFI: Relativamente ao nível da segurança dos dados, como é que é vista esta relação com o ChatGPT e com o ChatGPT Atlas? Cátia Pesquita: O Atlas, para poder funcionar de forma verdadeiramente personalizada, vai ter de registar toda a nossa actividade online. No entanto, os termos de utilização que estão agora públicos indicam que a autorização para que esses dados sejam utilizados para treinar os modelos da Open AI vem desligada por omissão. No entanto, não faltam vozes que nos relembram dos escândalos de privacidade e direitos de autor, etc., em que a OPA se tem visto envolvida nos últimos anos. Por isso, resta aqui saber se vamos confiar ou se vamos desconfiar. RFI: A Open AI e o Chat PT vão ser, como todos os outros agentes de inteligência artificial, vão ser sorvedouros do nosso conhecimento, da nossa existência? Cátia Pesquita: Eu acho que é na capacidade de consumirem enormes quantidades de dados que estes modelos recentes de inteligência artificial têm ganho as suas capacidades surpreendentes e quase sobre-humanas. A questão é que estamos a chegar ao final dos dados disponíveis online e as empresas correm com criatividade a tentar procurar novas fontes de dados que possam ajudar aos próximos passos de evolução destes modelos. Eu penso que o Atlas tem também por detrás essa motivação, uma motivação de conseguir extrair mais dados dos utilizadores que possam alimentar os algoritmos e, de certa forma, melhorar o seu desempenho e aumentar, obviamente, a sua preponderância no mercado. RFI: Pessoalmente, considera que a existência destas máquinas é um perigo ou uma oportunidade? Cátia Pesquita: Ambas as coisas é um perigo e é uma oportunidade. É uma oportunidade porque existem desafios no mundo que são demasiado complexos para que nós, humanos, com as nossas capacidades cognitivas, os consigamos resolver. Por exemplo, desafios na medicina personalizada e em nós conseguirmos compreender as relações entre os genes e doenças, que é uma das minhas áreas de investigação, são demasiado complexos para nós conseguirmos entender o manancial de dados e informação que estão a ser recolhidos a nível de investigação e, portanto, existe aqui uma oportunidade enorme para o bem da inteligência artificial nos ajudar, por exemplo, a atacar problemas tão prementes como o cancro ou as alterações climáticas. Por outro lado, existem riscos claros. E um risco claro é também a perda de capacidades da população ao confiar demasiado nestas ferramentas para se substituir a si mesmo na aprendizagem, no trabalho e na criatividade. E este é um desafio que a mim me toca também como professora, em que o uso responsável destas ferramentas como potenciadores e não como substitutos da inteligência humana. RFI: Para si o ChatGPT é mesmo a melhor IA do mercado ou beneficia de um fenómeno de marca? Cátia Pesquita: Eu acho que a grande vantagem que o ChatGPT tem não é apenas em termos do modelo de inteligência artificial que o alimenta, mas também da experiência de utilizador que a plataforma permite. Outras plataformas podem termodelos que atingem um desempenho igualmente bom em diversos benchmarks e análises, mas é a experiência de utilização do ChatGPT, os modos de interação, o próprio website e plataforma do ChatGPT que eu julgo que estão a contribuir para a grande fatia de mercado que a Open AI tem.

OpenAI launched Atlas, an AI-powered web browser built around ChatGPT and currently available on MacOS, removing the traditional address bar and offering a paid agent mode for ChatGPT subscribers that enables autonomous searches. The company partnered with platforms such as Etsy, Shopify, Expedia, and Booking.com to expand Atlas's reach. ChatGPT's weekly active users grew to 800 million. Industry analysts noted early adoption among tech users, while mainstream and corporate users may wait for similar features in established browsers. Microsoft Edge already offers comparable AI capabilities. Google's dominance in online search remains under scrutiny, with a growing share of desktop browser searches now using large language models.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Atlas desafía a GoogleEl navegador Atlas de OpenAI une ChatGPT con la web en una experiencia sin precedentes, capaz de leer, resumir y actuar en línea por ti.  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  OpenAI lanzó Atlas, su primer navegador gratuito con inteligencia artificial integrada. La novedad está en que no usa una barra de direcciones: usa a ChatGPT como puerta de entrada a Internet. Con esta jugada, Sam Altman desafía directamente a Google Chrome, Safari y Microsoft Edge, los tres gigantes que dominan el acceso a la web. Alphabet, la empresa matriz de Google, vio caer sus acciones cerca de un 3 % tras el anuncio.  Atlas fue presentado en una transmisión en vivo donde Sam Altman dijo que esta es una oportunidad única para repensar lo que puede ser un navegador. En lugar de escribir direcciones o hacer búsquedas, las personas pueden pedirle cosas directamente a ChatGPT. Por ejemplo, “muéstrame recetas con aguacate” o “busca un vuelo a París y resérvalo”. Atlas responde, resume y puede incluso realizar las tareas por ti si activas su nuevo “modo agente”. La aplicación está disponible desde hoy para macOS y llegará pronto a Windows, iOS y Android. ¿Podrá un navegador nuevo cambiar la forma en que usamos Internet?  Pero Atlas no tiene una barra de direcciones. Y eso cambia todo.  Atlas funciona como si ChatGPT se convirtiera en la página de inicio de Internet. Cada nueva pestaña abre el chat directamente, y desde allí se puede escribir lo que antes se buscaba en Google. El navegador tiene memoria y aprende del usuario, recordando consultas, historiales y preferencias para ofrecer respuestas más personalizadas. También incorpora una barra lateral llamada “Ask ChatGPT” que acompaña la navegación en cada página. Desde esa ventana, se pueden hacer preguntas sobre el contenido que se esté viendo, sin copiar ni pegar nada. Altman mostró ejemplos como resumir una crítica de cine o pedir que compre ingredientes en línea a través de Instacart.  Este lanzamiento abre una nueva batalla en lo que algunos medios ya llaman las “guerras de navegadores de la era de la IA”. Chrome tiene una cuota de mercado mundial del 72 %, mientras Safari posee el 14 %. Romper ese dominio parece casi imposible, pero OpenAI cree que integrar la inteligencia artificial directamente en la experiencia de navegación puede ser la clave. Atlas ofrece una experiencia conversacional, en la que el chat reemplaza los motores de búsqueda tradicionales. Esto afecta el modelo de negocio de Google, que vive de los anuncios junto a sus enlaces. Analistas financieros en CNBC y Investor's Business Daily explicaron que el temor de los inversionistas es que, si las personas dejan de buscar enlaces y comienzan a conversar con Atlas, la publicidad de Google pierda valor.  Atlas no es solo un buscador con inteligencia artificial. Es un navegador completo con pestañas, marcadores, autocompletado y un modo agente capaz de actuar como si fuera el usuario. Puede comprar tiquetes de avión, escribir correos, llenar formularios o hacer compras en línea. En la demostración, se vio cómo el agente navegaba por varias páginas, seleccionaba ingredientes de una receta y los añadía a un carrito de compras. Todo esto ocurre en tiempo real y bajo supervisión del usuario. Aunque está en fase experimental, OpenAI promete que con el tiempo el agente aprenderá más tareas y se volverá un asistente integral. Por ahora, este modo solo está disponible para quienes pagan las versiones Plus y Pro de ChatGPT.  La estrategia de OpenAI recuerda al lanzamiento de Google Chrome en 2008, cuando Google integró su motor de búsqueda dentro del navegador y cambió la historia de la web. Hoy la situación se invierte: OpenAI quiere quitarle ese poder. Los medios Wired, Financial Times y Bloombergcoinciden en que Atlas busca un “momento Chrome” propio, donde la inteligencia artificial reemplace la barra de búsqueda por una conversación natural. El navegador recopila datos con permiso del usuario para personalizar respuestas, igual que hacen Chrome o Safari, pero sin depender de motores externos. Perplexity, otro competidor, presentó su propio navegador llamado Comet, y Google ya integró su chatbot Gemini dentro de Chrome. La competencia está en plena ebullición. Sam Altman dijo que este es solo el comienzo y que “hay mucho más por agregar”.  Atlas es el nuevo navegador de OpenAI que convierte a ChatGPT en la puerta principal de Internet. Su modo agente promete automatizar tareas y desafiar a Google Chrome. ¿Será este el inicio de una nueva forma de navegar?Puedes escuchar más episodios como este en Flash Diario en Spotify.  OpenAI lanzó Atlas, un navegador con ChatGPT integrado que conversa con páginas, hace tareas y reta el dominio de Google.  Bibliografía:The New York TimesCNBCFinancial TimesWiredArs TechnicaBloombergBarron'sBusiness InsiderCBS NewsInvestor's Business DailyConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.

The old JavaScript engine, which is part of this mode, has been abused in recent attacks, and Microsoft will make it more difficult to enable IE Mode to counter these attacks. https://microsoftedge.github.io/edgevr/posts/Changes-to-Internet-Explorer-Mode-in-Microsoft-Edge/

Google passe à la vitesse supérieure : son navigateur Chrome va désormais intégrer Gemini, son intelligence artificielle maison, pour devenir un véritable navigateur agentique — autrement dit, un outil capable de comprendre vos intentions et d'agir à votre place. Une avancée technologique, certes… mais aussi un tournant majeur en matière de collecte de données personnelles, comme le révèle un rapport de Surfshark.Selon cette étude, la version IA de Chrome — lancée d'abord aux États-Unis — recueille 24 types de données différentes liées à l'utilisateur. On y retrouve le nom complet, la localisation précise, l'identifiant unique de l'appareil, l'historique complet de navigation et de recherche, mais aussi les achats effectués et toutes les interactions avec les produits Google. Une mine d'informations, que la firme de Mountain View justifie par la nécessité d'« améliorer l'expérience utilisateur ». Face à cette approche intrusive, Microsoft Edge avec Copilot se montre à peine plus mesuré. Le navigateur récupère lui aussi l'historique de navigation, les données d'usage et de performance, mais Copilot ajoute une couche supplémentaire : photos, vidéos, enregistrements audio, données publicitaires et localisation.En comparaison, Perplexity, avec son navigateur Comet, fait figure de bon élève — ou presque. Il limite la collecte à 10 types de données, parmi lesquelles la localisation et les identifiants utilisateurs. De son côté, Opera, qui prépare un navigateur IA baptisé Neon, n'est pas encore accessible, mais sa version actuelle dotée d'Aria, son IA embarquée, se limite à six catégories de données non personnelles. Le grand gagnant côté respect de la vie privée ? Brave. Son assistant Leo ne collecte que deux informations : les données d'usage anonymisées et un identifiant technique. Le navigateur reste ainsi l'un des rares à garantir une navigation réellement privée, même à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle. En clair, l'arrivée des IA dans nos navigateurs redéfinit la frontière entre assistance intelligente et surveillance numérique. Et pour l'instant, c'est surtout Google qui flirte dangereusement avec la ligne rouge. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

BONUS: Nesrine Changuel shares how to create product delight through emotional connection! In this BONUS episode we explore the book by Nesrine Changuel: 'Product Delight - How to make your product stand out with emotional connection.' In this conversation, we explore Nesrine's journey from research to product management, share lessons from her experiences at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft, and unpack the key strategies for building emotionally resonant products that connect with users beyond mere functionality. The Genesis of Product Delight "I quickly realized that there is something that is quite intense while building Skype... it's not just that communication tool, but it was iconic, with its blue, with ringtones, with emojis. So it was clear that it's not just for making calls, but also to make you feel connected, relaxed, and part of it." Nesrine's journey into product delight began during her transition from research to product management at Skype. Working on products at major companies like Skype, Spotify, and Google Meet, she discovered that successful products don't just function well—they create emotional connections. Her role as "Delight PM" at Google Meet during the pandemic crystallized her understanding that products must address both functional and emotional user needs to truly stand out in the market. Understanding Customer Delight in Practice "The delight is about creating two dimensions and combining these two dimensions altogether, it's about creating products that function well, but also that help with the emotional connection." Customer delight manifests when products exceed expectations and anticipate user needs. Nesrine explains that delight combines surprise and joy—creating positive surprises that go beyond basic functionality. She illustrates this with Microsoft Edge's coupon feature, which proactively suggests discounts during online shopping without users requesting it. This anticipation of needs creates memorable peak moments that strengthen emotional connections with products. Segmenting Users by Motivators "We can discover that users are using your product for different reasons. I mean, we tend to think that users are using the product for the same reason." Traditional user segmentation focuses on demographics (who users are) or behavior (what they do). Nesrine advocates for motivational segmentation—understanding why users engage with products. Using Spotify as an example, she demonstrates how users might seek music for specific songs, inspiration, nostalgia, or emotional regulation. This approach reveals both functional motivators (practical needs) and emotional motivators (feelings users want to experience), enabling teams to build features aligned with user desires rather than assumptions. In this segment, we refer to Spotify Wrapped.  The Distinction from Jobs To Be Done "There's no contrast. I mean to be honest, it's quite aligned, and I'm a big fan of the job to be done framework." While aligned with Clayton Christensen's Jobs To Be Done framework, Nesrine's approach extends beyond identifying triggers to practical implementation. She acknowledges that Jobs To Be Done provides the foundational theory, distinguishing between personal emotional motivators (how users want to feel) and social emotional motivators (how they want others to perceive them). However, many teams struggle to translate these insights into actual product features—a gap her Product Delight framework addresses through actionable methodologies. Navigating the Line Between Delight and Addiction "Building for delight is about creating products that are aligned with users' values. It's about aligning with what people really want themselves to feel. They want to feel themselves, to feel a better version of themselves." The critical distinction between delight and addiction lies in value alignment. Delightful products help users become better versions of themselves and align with their personal values. Nesrine contrasts this with addictive design that creates dependencies contrary to user wellbeing. Using Spotify Wrapped as an example, she explains how reflecting positive achievements (skills learned, personal growth) creates healthy engagement, while raw usage data (hours spent) might trigger negative self-reflection and potential addictive patterns. Getting Started with Product Delight "If you only focus on the functional motivators, you will create products that function, but they will not create that emotional connection. If you take into consideration the emotional motivators in addition to the functional motivators, you create perfect products that connect with users emotionally." Teams beginning their delight journey should start by identifying both functional and emotional user motivators through direct user conversations. The first step involves listing what users want to accomplish (functional) alongside how they want to feel (emotional). This dual understanding enables feature development that serves practical needs while creating positive emotional experiences, leading to products that users remember and recommend. Product Delight and Human-Centered Design "Making products feel as if it was done by a human being... how can you make your product feel as close as possible to a human version of the product." Nesrine positions product delight within the broader human-centered design movement, but focuses specifically on humanization at the product feature level rather than just visual design. She shares examples from Google Meet, where the team compared remote meetings to in-person experiences, and Dyson, which benchmarks vacuum cleaners against human cleaning services. This approach identifies missing human elements and guides feature development toward more natural, intuitive interactions. In this segment we refer to the books Emotional Design by Don Norman, and Design for Emotion by Aarron Walter..  AI's Role in Future Product Delight "AI is a tool, and as every tool we're using, it can be used in a good way, or could be used in a bad way. And it is extremely possible to use AI in a very good way to make your product feel more human and more empathetic and more emotionally engaging." AI presents opportunities to enhance emotional connections through empathetic interactions and personalized experiences. Nesrine cites ChatGPT's conversational style—including apologies and collaborative language—as creating companionship feelings during work. The key lies in using AI to identify and honor emotional motivators rather than exploit them, focusing on making users feel supported and understood rather than manipulated or dependent. Developer Experience as Product Delight "If the user of your products are human beings... whether business consumer engineers, they deserve their emotions to be honored, so I usually don't distinguish between B2B or B2C... I say like B2H, which is business to human." Developer experience exemplifies product delight in B2B contexts. Companies like GitHub have created metrics specifically measuring developer delight, recognizing that technical users also have emotional needs. Tools like Jira, Miro, and GitHub succeed by making users feel more competent and productive. Nesrine advocates for "B2H" (business to human) thinking, emphasizing that any product used by humans should consider emotional impact alongside functional requirements. About Nesrine Changuel Nesrine is a product coach, trainer, and author with experience at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft. Holding a PhD from Bell Labs and UCLA, she blends research and practice to guide teams in building emotionally resonant products. Based in Paris, she teaches and speaks globally on human-centered design. You can connect with Nesrine Changuel on LinkedIn.

On this week's episode of the Windows Central Podcast, Dan and Zac take a look back at Windows 10 as it celebrates its 10th anniversary and discussing how it's evolved over the years. We'll also get into Microsoft's strong financial performance and the recent company layoffs. We've got a lot to say about the new Copilot features in Microsoft Edge and what we've seen with Copilot Vision on smartphones. Plus, we'll talk about the state of the Surface line, a couple of very special limited-edition laptops, and the upcoming GPT-5 integration into Copilot. We'll also be covering the latest on Windows 10 security updates, Adobe's new ARM-native beta apps, and a great deal on the Asus ZenBook A14. And of course, we'll be discussing the future of AI and its potential impact on our lives

In this podcast episode, Jaeden discusses the newly launched AI features in Microsoft Edge, particularly focusing on the Copilot mode. He explores its functionalities, potential use cases, and how it compares to other AI browsers. The conversation also delves into the implications of user control and the future of browsing with AI integration.Try AI Box: ⁠⁠https://aibox.aiAI Chat YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JaedenSchaferJoin my AI Hustle Community: https://www.skool.com/aihustle/aboutYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/bAZ_ZpYyCBAChapters00:00 Introduction to Microsoft Edge's AI Features02:43 Exploring Copilot Mode and Its Use Cases05:56 Research Companion: Enhancing Browsing Efficiency08:40 User Control and Privacy Considerations

Microsoft Edge is the default web browser and PDF reader in Windows 11, and a modern and capable successor to the Internet Explorer browser of yesteryear. It's built on the same Chromium web platform that Google uses for Chrome, and it integrates more deeply with Windows and Microsoft online services–most notably Copilot–than other browsers. But Microsoft Edge is also a vector for some of the worst behaviors in Windows 11. For this reason, it's important to configure Microsoft Edge correctly, whether you expect to use it regularly or not.

Can Microsoft Edge really change your mind about web browsing? After years of skepticism and critique, I've taken a fresh look at Edge, and you might be as surprised as I was to discover the improvements it has undergone. Join Paul, on an unexpected journey as we explore how Edge's new WebUI 2.0 interface and performance enhancements are transforming it into a speedier, more user-friendly option. Microsoft has been working behind the scenes to trim the unnecessary and boost the essential, making Edge not just another browser, but a viable, competitive choice for everyday use.

Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security. LAYOFFS As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday. The fiscal year started on Tuesday. These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier. 9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May). 10 percent of King being laid off. Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing. It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next! Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds. 25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically. Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023. Windows 11 Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2 24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more. Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page. AI Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac. Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence. After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike. Xbox and Gaming Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years. Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio. New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time. Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes". Tips and Picks Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy. The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge. The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative. Software? It's all free. Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time. Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too. Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys. Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).
