OpenClaw – The Open-Source AI
Agent Worth Knowing About
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that runs on your own machine and connects to the chat apps you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, iMessage, Discord. It has persistent memory, full system access, browser control, and the ability to run tasks autonomously in the background while you focus on other things.
Meta Is Adding More AI Features To Ads
Meta Is Adding More
AI Features To Ads
Meta announced two new AI creative tools for advertisers. The first lets you add AI-generated voiceover to existing videos and images directly in Ads Manager — no recording required. The second automatically generates studio-style video ads from single image assets.
LinkedIn Articles Are Becoming More Valuable
LinkedIn Articles Are
Becoming More Valuable
LinkedIn published a guide this week on the growing power of LinkedIn Articles. The key finding worth noting: LinkedIn is the top-cited domain for professional queries on major AI search engines, and Articles account for roughly 60% of that referenced content. Publishing detailed articles can improve discoverability by about 10% compared to posting alone.
YouTube Is Testing AI-Generated Summaries
YouTube Is Testing
AI-Generated Summaries
Google is running a limited test on Android where video titles in the YouTube feed are replaced by AI-generated summaries. Thumbnails still appear, but users have to tap to expand a summary box to understand what the video is about.
Google’s New TurboQuant Algorithm
Google’s New TurboQuant
Algorithm
Google published research on a new compression algorithm called TurboQuant that dramatically speeds up how AI systems search and retrieve information. The short version: Google can now evaluate far more documents per query than before. If adopted in Search, AI Overviews could pull from a significantly broader and more precise set of sources when generating answers.
Gemini Lets You Import Your AI Memories and Chat History
Gemini Lets You Import Your
AI Memories and Chat History
Google rolled out new switching tools for Gemini that let you bring your memories, preferences, and full chat history from other AI apps — like ChatGPT — directly into Gemini. You can import your memory by copying a summary from your current AI app and pasting it into Gemini’s settings, or upload a ZIP file of your full chat history. Gemini will instantly recognize your preferences and past context so you don’t have to start over from scratch.
