How AI is changing shopping with Copilot + Bing

FROM THE LIVE SHOW: As AI takes over more of our searching, reading, and shopping online, brands face a new question: Who are they really creating content for... humans or machines? Alex Sherman, CEO Bluefish AI, says we’ve been here before: “Remember when brands debated whether they needed a mobile website? Now it’s table stakes. AI is next.” “Right now, brands are still serving the same content to people and LLMs. But in 12 months, they’ll have to optimize for both.” Sherman believes we’re entering a split web, one version for humans, another for AI agents and LLM crawlers.

A new frontier for AI builders. Google just launched an extension marketplace for Gemini CLI — and over 70 extensions are already live. This move changes the game for developers using Gemini not just as a model, but as a platform. Here’s why it matters: It turns Gemini into an ecosystem, not just a chatbot. It lowers the barrier for custom AI automation inside workflows. It accelerates the shift from “prompting” to “building.” This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about control — letting developers shape how AI behaves, integrates, and evolves. We’re witnessing the next phase of AI: from models that answer, to systems that extend. In AI, the real power lies in what you let others build on top of you.

There’s a movie so fast it’s hard to keep up. After Sora 2, OpenAI just dropped AgentKit, your AI agent factory with built-in quality control. Most people will talk about the flashy part: agents that call APIs, browse the web, or trigger actions. But the real story is underneath, in Evals. Production-grade AI isn’t about what your agent can do, it’s about how well it performs when no one’s watching. The new Evals capabilities make that possible: - Datasets: build evals from scratch and expand them with automated graders and human annotations. - Trace grading: run end-to-end assessments of workflows to pinpoint failures automatically. - Automated prompt optimization: improve prompts using human feedback and grader results. - Third-party model support: evaluate models from any provider in the same platform. These are some advanced methods that a lot of people building AI products are not using using and now you have it all available, without code, on one platform. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll dig into it soon and share what stands out once I’ve tested it hands-on.

Brave's AI-Powered Search Gets Detailed Answers Feature! The search engine wars are heating up, and Brave's latest update is a smart move. Adding "Detailed Answers" alongside their AI summaries provides users with both convenience and depth. This dual approach caters to different user intents—a quick summary versus a deep dive. It's this kind of user-centric innovation that helps alternative browsers compete. #Search #AI

Unpopular opinion: The companies winning with AI aren't the ones deploying fastest. They're the ones who built governance infrastructure before they scaled. While everyone else optimizes for speed, they're optimizing for durability. When a competitor's AI goes viral for the wrong reasons, they're still running. Everyone's racing to deploy AI. That's exactly the problem. https://lnkd.in/egBi52gr

You can now go from idea → functioning AI tool in minutes. Since launching Rightbrain AI, one of the most exciting things has been discovering how businesses are using it, and the features they are building with it. We use it ourselves daily, in fact our own Dashboard uses tasks we've built in Rightbrain to decorate our own product with AI ✨ I've really enjoyed playing around with Google's new image model (codename: nano banana). Here's a video showing a simple tool I built with it the other day. It literally took minutes, and hopefully it's easy to see the impact this could have for any company out there that uses product images in some way... I instantly think of anyone who programmatically ingests feeds and wants to stand out from their competitors with unique product shots. Gemini image generation is changing the game, but to make it scalable for your business? That's where Rightbrain comes in. Everyone gets a 7 day free trial to our pro tier when they onboard, I'll happily extend that to 30 days for anyone that creates something cool 🔥 https://lnkd.in/ePbvjB79
