ANTHROPIC

Vibe Coding with Claude Just Got Easier

Anthropic has rolled out a new feature for Claude, allowing users to create host, and share their own AI-powered apps directly within the platform.

Details:

• The upgrade builds on the Artifacts feature introduced last year, which lets users see and interact with what they ask Claude to create.

• Simply describe what you want to create, and Claude will write the code for you. Users can see and test their app right inside Claude, and share it instantly through a link — no deployment process needed.

• According to Anthropic, early adopters have already built AI games, writing assistants, data analysis tools, learning apps, and more.

• The startup also wants to encourage other people to share the apps they create, and for that, it is making it so that somebody else’s API usage of your app “counts against their subscription, not yours.”

• The feature is rolling out in beta for Free, Pro, and Max subscribers

While there are still some limitations, including restricted access to external APIs and a lack of persistent data storage, it could be a game-changer for casual users, letting them create their own interactive apps with zero coding skills.

META

WhatsApp Now Summarizes Your Unread Messages Using AI

WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that uses Meta AI to summarize unread messages in private chats, helping users catch up quickly without scrolling through long conversations.

Details:

• The feature will use Meta AI to generate a bulleted summary of what you missed.

• It uses Meta’s Private Processing technology to ensure that no one — including Meta or others in the group chat — can access your summaries.

• To prioritize user control, the company is keeping Message Summaries off by default. Users can manage the feature in group chats through WhatsApp’s “Advanced Privacy” settings.

The feature is rolling out in English in the U.S., with plans to expand to more countries and languages later this year.

How to use Gemini Live with screen sharing and camera capabilities

This feature lets you ask Gemini questions about things you can see both in the real world and on your device. It used to be restricted to Gemini Advanced users, but now you can use it for free on any smartphone.

1. Make sure you install the latest version of Google Gemini on your device.

2. Once that’s done, tap the Live icon in the bottom-right corner of the Ask Gemini box.

3. Choose a voice. You’ll then be taken to the main Gemini Live interface. There, you can tap the pause button to put the mic on hold, or tap “X” to end the conversation.

4. To share your camera, tap the Camera icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Point the camera toward the object you’d like to discuss, then ask a question.

5. You can also switch to the front-facing camera by pressing the icon in the bottom corner of the image. Tap the Camera icon again to turn it off.

6. To share your screen, press the upward-facing arrow icon. When you’re viewing the screen you’d like to discuss with Gemini, just ask a question aloud. Tap the Share button to stop screen sharing.

Here are some ways you could use Gemini Live:

• Let Gemini be your organization partner. Ask for suggestions on how to categorize items, maximize space, or even identify what you can discard.

• Get help from Gemini to fix things around the house. Just point your camera and work with Gemini to figure out how to proceed.

• Get personal shopping advice. Share your screen while browsing online retailers, and let Gemini act as your shopping assistant.
