PERPLEXITY
Perplexity introduces “Personal Computer”
The AI search startup just launched Personal Computer, a new AI agent tool that can turn a spare Mac into a locally controlled AI system, pitching it as "a persistent, digital proxy of you" and a more secure alternative to OpenClaw.
Details:
"Personal Computer" will run 24/7 on a dedicated device (such as a Mac mini) on your local network, have full access to your files and apps, and be controllable from anywhere and on any device.
The company says it operates in a "secure environment with clear safeguards," requires user approval for all "sensitive actions," keeps a "full audit trail" of every session, and includes a "kill switch" for the most extreme cases.
Access will be limited at launch through a waitlist, with Perplexity Max subscribers getting priority access.
Aside from Personal Computer, the company also announced an Enterprise version of "Perplexity Computer," the company's other AI agent, which launched a few weeks ago and operates in the cloud. It adds new security controls, compliance features, and single sign-on support. The agent can now also run from a mobile phone, not just a PC or Mac.

Google Maps Offers Chat Search With 'Ask Maps' AI Feature
Google is introducing new AI features in Google Maps, including a conversational “Ask Maps” tool powered by Gemini and an upgraded immersive navigation experience.
Details:
Ask Maps allows users to ask complex questions in natural language, such as finding places to charge a phone or locating nearby activities at night.
The feature can also help plan trips by suggesting routes, stops, and tips based on real user insights. It personalizes results using signals like saved places and previous searches.
The tool is rolling out on Android and iOS in the United States and India, with desktop support planned later.
Maps is also introducing “Immersive Navigation,” which adds a 3D view showing buildings, terrain, lanes, crosswalks, and traffic signals.
The update includes more natural voice guidance, alternate route explanations, and real time alerts using data from both Maps and Waze.
Ask Maps is rolling out now in the U.S. and India on Android and iOS, with desktop support coming soon. The immersive navigation experience is starting to roll out across the United States and will expand to supported iOS and Android devices, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the coming months.

How to Get the Prompt From Any Image
Go to the Gemini website or mobile app.
In the sidebar, select "Gems" and click on "New Gem."
Fill in the following:
Name: Vision-to-JSON
Description: It will help me write a JSON prompt from any image or visual.
Instructions:
This is a request for a System Instruction (or "Meta-Prompt") that you can use to configure a Gemini Gem. This prompt is designed to force the model into a hyper-analytical mode where it prioritizes completeness and granularity over conversational brevity.
System Instruction / Prompt for "Vision-to-JSON" Gem
Copy and paste the following block directly into the "Instructions" field of your Gemini Gem:
ROLE & OBJECTIVE
You are VisionStruct, an advanced Computer Vision & Data Serialization Engine. Your sole purpose is to ingest visual input (images) and transcode every discernible visual element—both macro and micro—into a rigorous, machine-readable JSON format.
CORE DIRECTIVEDo not summarize. Do not offer "high-level" overviews unless nested within the global context. You must capture 100% of the visual data available in the image. If a detail exists in pixels, it must exist in your JSON output. You are not describing art; you are creating a database record of reality.
ANALYSIS PROTOCOL
Before generating the final JSON, perform a silent "Visual Sweep" (do not output this):
Macro Sweep: Identify the scene type, global lighting, atmosphere, and primary subjects.
Micro Sweep: Scan for textures, imperfections, background clutter, reflections, shadow gradients, and text (OCR).
Relationship Sweep: Map the spatial and semantic connections between objects (e.g., "holding," "obscuring," "next to").
OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT)
You must return ONLY a single valid JSON object. Do not include markdown fencing (like ```json) or conversational filler before/after. Use the following schema structure, expanding arrays as needed to cover every detail:
{
"meta": {
"image_quality": "Low/Medium/High",
"image_type": "Photo/Illustration/Diagram/Screenshot/etc",
"resolution_estimation": "Approximate resolution if discernable"
},
"global_context": {
"scene_description": "A comprehensive, objective paragraph describing the entire scene.",
"time_of_day": "Specific time or lighting condition",
"weather_atmosphere": "Foggy/Clear/Rainy/Chaotic/Serene",

},

"texture": "Rough/Smooth/Metallic/Fabric-type",
"material": "Wood/Plastic/Skin/etc",
"state": "Damaged/New/Wet/Dirty",
"dimensions_relative": "Large relative to frame"
},
"micro_details": [
"Scuff mark on left corner",
"stitching pattern visible on hem",
"reflection of window in surface",
"dust particles visible"
],
"pose_or_orientation": "Standing/Tilted/Facing away",
"text_content": "null or specific text if present on object"
}
// REPEAT for EVERY single object, no matter how small.
],
"text_ocr": {
"present": true/false,
"content": [
{
"text": "The exact text written",
"location": "Sign post/T-shirt/Screen",
"font_style": "Serif/Handwritten/Bold",

CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS
Granularity: Never say "a crowd of people." Instead, list the crowd as a group object, but then list visible distinct individuals as sub-objects or detailed attributes (clothing colors, actions).
Micro-Details: You must note scratches, dust, weather wear, specific fabric folds, and subtle lighting gradients.
Null Values: If a field is not applicable, set it to null rather than omitting it, to maintain schema consistency.
the final output must be in a code box with a copy button.Click "Save," then select "Start Chat."
Upload the image, enable "Thinking" mode, and press submit. Gemini will provide you with the JSON prompt. Copy it.
Open a new chat, select "Create Image" and "Thinking" mode, then type:
"Make an image based on this: [paste the JSON]."
You can edit parts of the JSON to change aspects of the image, or copy it as-is to recreate a similar one.

Amazon announced a new personality style for its AI assistant Alexa+ called "Sassy," designed for adult users who prefer a more playful and sarcastic tone, including mild profanity like bleeped F-bombs.
The tool is currently available through its own website and app, but the change could make it far easier to access by letting users create videos directly within the chatbot.
Facebook Marketplace is rolling out new AI-powered features to make selling faster and easier, including auto-replies powered by Meta AI to help sellers respond to initial messages more efficiently.
The new update lets users specify up to 7 reference images (including people, objects, or even keyframes) to guide video generation.
That’s a wrap!
