koiguo/Getty Kicking off the current generative AI frenzy, ChatGPT is already a relatively capable AI, able to answer questions, generate content, and chat with you about almost any topic. But OpenAI isn't stopping there. Rather, the company has big plans for its popular AI, envisioning an evolution that would turn it into a "super assistant." OpenAI's goals for ChatGPT came to light courtesy of a confidential and highly redacted document introduced as part of the Justice Department's antitrus

Google TL;DR Google’s Project Astra aims to be a “universal AI assistant” that understands context, devises plans, and acts on your behalf within Android. A demo showcased Astra assisting with a bike repair by navigating a manual, finding a YouTube tutorial, and potentially contacting a shop.

Since its original launch at Google I/O 2024, Project Astra has become a testing ground for Google’s AI assistant ambitions. The multimodal, all-seeing bot is not a consumer product, really, and it won’t soon be available to anyone outside of a small group of testers. What Astra represents instead is a collection of Google’s biggest, wildest, most ambitious dreams about what AI might be able to do for people in the future.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is said to be working on allowing users to ditch Siri in favor of third-party digital assistants to comply with EU regulations. Users will soon be able to set alternatives like Gemini and ChatGPT as their digital assistants, instead of Siri. This freedom mimics Android’s long-standing openness, but Apple could only make the changes in regions where it is legally mandated to do so.

Although it’s one of Google’s worst-kept secrets, Gemini will soon replace Assistant on various Google platforms, including Android smartwatches.
