Good morning, everyone

Today’s stories show AI stretching from policy to products. Chatbots are already taking a measurable bite out of Google’s core business, Amazon is buying a low‑cost wearable that records your day for an AI assistant, and the White House wants to help U.S. models spread abroad while limiting state‑level red tape. Microsoft is rolling out a fresh wave of Windows 11 AI features, GitHub explains how Copilot’s new agent tools can actually fix your UI, and Sentinel’s new data lake promises cheaper, bigger security logs for AI defenses.

1. Chatbots now take 1 in 18 desktop searches

Datos’ latest traffic report shows that AI chatbots already handle 5.6 percent of all U.S. desktop browser searches (up from 2.48 percent a year ago), and among early adopters the share soars to roughly 40 percent, signaling a rapid consumer shift that is spawning new “AI‑optimization” agencies and chat‑specific ad formats such as sponsored follow‑up questions inside answers.

2. Amazon buys Bee, the $50 bracelet that records life

Amazon is acquiring Bee, maker of a $49.99 wristband and Apple Watch app that continuously records ambient audio and turns it into reminders and to‑do lists; Bee’s on‑device processing and $19‑per‑month subscription model will now fold into Amazon’s Echo hardware group, though privacy advocates warn rules could tighten once the product is under the tech giant’s umbrella.

3. White House plan favors AI expansion over new rules

A leaked draft of the administration’s national AI strategy would withhold federal AI funds from states that pass restrictive laws, direct the FCC to review conflicts with local regulations, bundle “full‑stack” U.S. AI infrastructure exports for allies, and loosen several Biden‑era chip and compute limits, framing the overall goal as cementing America’s position as the global capital of AI innovation.

4. Windows 11 adds Copilot Vision and click‑to‑do tricks

Microsoft is pitching Windows 11 as “the home for AI,” introducing Copilot Vision that can watch any app or the full desktop on demand, Recall for instant timeline search, Click to Do actions that convert selected text into tasks, a Copilot agent in Settings that changes options via plain language, plus new AI boosts such as Relight in Photos, sticker generation in Paint, and precision screenshot tools in Snipping Tool.

5. GitHub shows Copilot agent mode fixing real bugs

During a live demo, developers used GitHub’s Copilot agent mode with the Playwright MCP server to open a Next.js game site, identify overlapping header elements, apply CSS fixes, and iteratively test the layout by launching a browser, clicking elements, resizing viewports, and re‑running checks—underscoring that well‑defined prompts still matter because vague instructions initially produced odd results.

6. Sentinel data lake aims to cut SIEM costs by 85 percent

Now in public preview, Microsoft Sentinel’s new security data lake pools logs from Microsoft and more than 350 third‑party connectors, offers retention pricing at less than 15 percent of traditional analytics costs, and feeds full‑context signals into Security Copilot’s models, promising organizations months or years of affordable data storage for faster, AI‑driven threat hunting and incident response.
