AURELIAN
911 Centers Lean on AI to Handle Non-Emergency Calls
Emergency dispatch centers are short-staffed and overwhelmed, so a startup named Aurelian is stepping in with an AI voice assistant that handles non-emergency calls, allowing human dispatchers to focus on real 911 emergencies.
Details:
The company’s AI voice agent is designed to triage non-urgent issues (noise complaints, parking violations, or stolen wallet reports), cases that don’t require an officer’s immediate response and can often be resolved without sending personnel to the scene.
In those situations, the AI collects key information and either creates a report or relays the details directly to the police department for follow-up action.
However, when it recognizes a real emergency, it immediately transfers the call to a human dispatcher.
Since May 2024, Aurelian has been deployed and handling live calls in over a dozen dispatch centers, including Snohomish County (WA), Chattanooga (TN), and Kalamazoo (MI).
Emergency call centers consistently struggle with understaffing, as dispatching is a high-pressure job and ranks among the industries with the highest turnover rates. With workers often forced into overtime, more departments are likely to turn to AI to ease pressure on staff, reduce hold times, and keep emergency lines clear.

A New Way to Invest is Delivering Big Results
VCs back startups for outsized returns. Everyday investors wait. But rule changes fixed that. Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 people averaged a $2,370 stake. Today? Its valuation is up 89,900%. No wonder 10K+ people and the investors behind Uber and Venmo are taking the chance on Pacaso. Founded by a former Zillow exec, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date.

Google Vids Is Now Free, Adds New Features
Google is making its AI-powered video editor tool, Vids, available to everyone for free, but only a “basic version.”
Details:
The free version of Vids includes templates and stock media, but it won’t offer AI features.
Paid users are getting new AI features starting today: 12 pre-made AI avatars (different looks and voices) to read a script, 8-second AI-generated clips from a single image, and a tool that automatically removes filler words and pauses from recordings.
Google also said they are working on other features like noise cancellation, Google Meet–style backgrounds and effects, and support for new sizing formats such as portrait, landscape, and square.
The new AI-powered features will be available to Workspace Business or Enterprise Starter users, Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers, and Workspace for Education customers.

The AI will be able to provide movie recommendations, spoiler-free recaps, and general Q&A.
On-screen, Copilot takes the form of a bouncing, animated blob and can be summoned with your remote or a voice command.
The new AI tool can help users compose messages and is powered by the platform’s Private Processing technology, which supposedly keeps your messages completely private.
The chain’s rollout of an AI voice assistant across hundreds of locations isn’t going smoothly, with customers posting complaints and trolling attempts online. Taco Bell’s chief digital and technology officer says the company is rethinking how and where to deploy the tech.
The company reported another quarter of strong growth in its earnings statement yesterday, with $46.7 billion in revenue, a 56% increase compared to the same period last year.
That’s a wrap!
