Good morning, everyone

Todayโ€™s stories show AI stretching from policy to products. Chatbots are already taking a measurable bite out of Googleโ€™s core business, Amazon is buying a lowโ€‘cost wearable that records your day for an AI assistant, and the White House wants to help U.S. models spread abroad while limiting stateโ€‘level red tape. Microsoft is rolling out a fresh wave of Windows 11 AI features, GitHub explains how Copilotโ€™s new agent tools can actually fix your UI, and Sentinelโ€™s new data lake promises cheaper, bigger security logs for AI defenses.

1. Chatbots now take 1 in 18 desktop searches

Datosโ€™ latest traffic report shows that AI chatbots already handle 5.6โ€ฏpercent of all U.S. desktop browser searches (up from 2.48โ€ฏpercent a year ago), and among early adopters the share soars to roughly 40โ€ฏpercent, signaling a rapid consumer shift that is spawning new โ€œAIโ€‘optimizationโ€ agencies and chatโ€‘specific ad formats such as sponsored followโ€‘up questions inside answers.

2. Amazon buys Bee, the $50 bracelet that records life

Amazon is acquiring Bee, maker of a $49.99 wristband and Appleโ€ฏWatch app that continuously records ambient audio and turns it into reminders and toโ€‘do lists; Beeโ€™s onโ€‘device processing and $19โ€‘perโ€‘month subscription model will now fold into Amazonโ€™s Echo hardware group, though privacy advocates warn rules could tighten once the product is under the tech giantโ€™s umbrella.

3. White House plan favors AI expansion over new rules

A leaked draft of the administrationโ€™s national AI strategy would withhold federal AI funds from states that pass restrictive laws, direct the FCC to review conflicts with local regulations, bundle โ€œfullโ€‘stackโ€ U.S. AI infrastructure exports for allies, and loosen several Bidenโ€‘era chip and compute limits, framing the overall goal as cementing Americaโ€™s position as the global capital of AI innovation.

4. Windowsโ€ฏ11 adds Copilot Vision and clickโ€‘toโ€‘do tricks

Microsoft is pitching Windowsโ€ฏ11 as โ€œthe home for AI,โ€ introducing Copilot Vision that can watch any app or the full desktop on demand, Recall for instant timeline search, Clickย toย Do actions that convert selected text into tasks, a Copilot agent in Settings that changes options via plain language, plus new AI boosts such as Relight in Photos, sticker generation in Paint, and precision screenshot tools in Snippingโ€ฏTool.

5. GitHub shows Copilot agent mode fixing real bugs

During a live demo, developers used GitHubโ€™s Copilot agent mode with the Playwright MCP server to open a Next.js game site, identify overlapping header elements, apply CSS fixes, and iteratively test the layout by launching a browser, clicking elements, resizing viewports, and reโ€‘running checksโ€”underscoring that wellโ€‘defined prompts still matter because vague instructions initially produced odd results.

6. Sentinel data lake aims to cut SIEM costs by 85โ€ฏpercent

Now in public preview, Microsoft Sentinelโ€™s new security data lake pools logs from Microsoft and more than 350 thirdโ€‘party connectors, offers retention pricing at less than 15โ€ฏpercent of traditional analytics costs, and feeds fullโ€‘context signals into Security Copilotโ€™s models, promising organizations months or years of affordable data storage for faster, AIโ€‘driven threat hunting and incident response.
