In the future, working with AI won’t mean adapting to the computer—the computer will adapt to you, says OpenAI President Greg Brockman. “This is disruptive. Institutions will change.”
Google is rolling out "Skills," a new Chrome feature that lets users save frequently used AI prompts and reuse them with a single click. Previously, users had to manually re-enter the same prompt each time, for example, converting recipes to vegan alternatives, to cite one of Google's examples.
With Skills, prompts like these can be saved directly from the chat history and pulled up in Chrome by typing a slash ( / ) or plus sign ( + ) in Gemini. The feature works across multiple tabs. Google also offers a library of ready-made skills for things like product comparisons, meal planning, and gift selection. Users can customize these or build their own from scratch.
According to Google, Skills uses Chrome's existing security and privacy features and asks for permission before performing certain actions like sending emails. The feature is rolling out now on Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS for users with their Chrome language set to English-US.
The UK’s AI Safety Institute tested Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview for cyber capabilities. For the first time, an AI model autonomously completed a full attack simulation against a corporate network, but the results come with significant caveats.
Anthropic has introduced "routines" for Claude Code - automated processes that can independently fix bugs, review pull requests, or respond to events without needing a user's local machine. Routines are configured once and then run on a schedule, via API call, or in response to GitHub events on Anthropic's web infrastructure. Typical use cases include nightly bug triage, automatic code reviews based on team-specific checklists, porting changes between languages, and checking deployments for errors.
Routines tap into existing repository connections and connectors. The feature is available as a research preview for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, with daily limits of 5 to 25 runs depending on the plan. Support for webhook sources beyond GitHub is planned.
Routines follow a series of recent desktop updates. Anthropic recently added features that let Claude Code start development servers, display web apps, and fix errors on its own, then shipped the /loop command for local, scheduled background tasks. With Routines, that same automation now moves to the cloud.
President Zelenskyy announces a historic first: a Russian position taken entirely by unmanned systems. A CSIS report details how AI is already changing Ukraine’s battlefield and where the limits remain.
AI startup Hiro, which built a personal AI financial advisor, is shutting down. The team is joining OpenAI, though no acquisition price has been disclosed. Hiro's vision was a "personal AI CFO" (Chief Financial Officer).
Hiro let users input their salary, debts, and monthly expenses, then calculated financial scenarios and explained the results. The company says it helped customers manage more than one billion dollars in assets.
The deal has all the hallmarks of an acqui-hire, an acquisition aimed at the team, not the product. Hiro has stopped accepting new sign-ups and will shut down on April 20, 2026. Users can export their data until May 13, 2026, after which all personal information will be deleted. No user data will transfer to OpenAI.
OpenAI has been working on financial tools within ChatGPT for some time. With the Hiro team on board, the company could move significantly faster on those plans.
An internal OpenAI memo lays out five strategic priorities for the enterprise business – including a new model codenamed “Spud,” a platform play for AI agents, and the blunt accusation that Anthropic is overstating its revenue by 8 billion dollars.
