Apple unveiled the Watch Series 12 with a new 'Audio Intelligence' feature that listens to conversations, letting users rewind the last 15 seconds via Digital Crown tap or ask Siri for a summary afterward.

OtoDock is a new self-hosted platform that lets businesses build AI agents—like a Personal Assistant, System Admin, or Marketing Manager—powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex using a company's own API subscriptions or local models. Each agent has six configurable parts: persona, memory, workspace, knowledge base, and skills, and can be shared across teams or kept private depending on one of four operating modes. Users interact through a self-hosted dashboard or even by phone, and the system supports multi-tenant use so multiple employees can work with the same agents.
