📱 Shake Your iPhone, Get Instant AI Summaries

🧠The Pulse

Firefox is adding a new way to save time on iPhones. When you shake your phone, the browser shows an AI summary of the page you are on. It works first in the U.S. this week for English pages. Newer iPhones use Apple’s on-device AI for speed and privacy.

📌The Download

• Mozilla says the feature can be used in 3 ways. You can shake the phone, tap the thunderbolt symbol in the bar, or choose Summarize Page in the menu. It works for pages with up to 5,000 words. The launch is limited to US users reading English content, with more countries and Android expected later.

• On iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26, summaries are created using Apple Intelligence on the device. This keeps data private and makes results quick. On older phones, the system uses Mozilla’s cloud AI. In this case, text from the page is sent to Mozilla servers and returned as a summary.

• The tool can be turned off to avoid mistakes. Mozilla explains that it is useful when reading long news or recipes. Being one of the first to use Apple Intelligence, Firefox gains a clear edge against Safari and Chrome. This shows how fast AI gestures are moving into daily apps.

💡What This Means for You

AI now changes how you read online. If you work with long web pages, Shake To Summarize cuts time and gives clear points fast. This is a sign that more apps will soon add similar AI tricks. The way you browse will be shaped by gestures and AI shortcuts.

💥 AI Overviews Are Killing Traffic

🧠The Pulse

Google’s AI Overviews and new AI Mode give answers directly on the results page. People stop clicking links, and publishers lose readers. Some websites report drops as high as 89%. This crisis has sparked fears of a “Google Zero” world where news outlets cannot survive on search traffic.

📌The Download

• Publishers in the UK and US say Google’s AI tools reduce clicks because answers show up on top. The Daily Mail said its referral traffic fell 89%. A study found average drops of 7% to 25%. Zero click searches now account for 69% of all queries.

• Data shows click through rates fall by 40% to 60% when AI Overviews appear. Another study found visits to news sites dropped from 2.3 billion to 1.7 billion in just one year. At the same time, ChatGPT referrals rose from under 1 million to over 25 million.

• Publishers are responding with lawsuits, licensing deals, and political pressure. Chegg has taken Google to court in the US, saying its educational content was used unfairly. In the UK, media groups warn of an existential crisis. Some outlets are now writing content designed for AI summaries instead of normal search results.

💡What This Means for You

If your work depends on search visibility, AI has changed the game. Google’s Overviews mean fewer clicks and less traffic. To stay visible, you may need to focus on how your content appears inside AI answers. Winning space in summaries may matter more than page visits.

💼 Claude Now Makes Makes Excel, Word & PPTs

🧠The Pulse

Claude has taken a big step forward. It can now create and edit Excel sheets, Word docs, PowerPoint slides and PDFs. You explain the job, upload data if needed, and get a file ready to use. This makes Claude more than a chatbot. It becomes a real work partner.

📌The Download

• Anthropic announced the upgrade on September 9. The feature works inside Claude.ai and the desktop app. It is first available to Max, Team and Enterprise users, while Pro users will get it soon. Files can be created from scratch, edited, saved to Drive, and even synced with Google Docs.

• Claude runs in a private computer space where it can run code and handle data. This setup is like ChatGPT’s code tools, but Anthropic says it aims to cut many hours of busy work such as formatting reports, building models or converting file types. Users can switch it on in Settings under Features.

• The move shows Anthropic’s focus on office productivity. Early examples include cleaning invoices, preparing financial models and making full slide decks. With this, Anthropic is taking on strong rivals like ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini. It is a clear signal that Claude wants a bigger role in business work.

💡What This Means for You

AI can now give you a finished file instead of plain text. This means less time fixing formats or building slides by hand. If your work depends on Excel, Word or PowerPoint, Claude may save hours each week. The question is how quickly teams will trust it with real tasks.

🎥 Elon Musk’s Grok AI Creates Talking Videos

🧠The Pulse

Elon Musk revealed that Grok AI can now create talking videos. A demo on X showed an anime girl named Anne speaking Japanese with moving lips. Grok is moving from still pictures to talking clips. This new step could place Musk’s AI tool against rivals like Sora and Veo.

📌The Download

• Musk confirmed the feature after DogeDesigner, a Dogecoin community designer, shared the demo. The short video showed Anne speaking with lip sync. This is Grok’s first move into multimedia and it is still in beta testing. The change shows Musk wants Grok to be more than a text or image tool.

• At the same time, Musk teased a big image upgrade. He said Grok’s new tools will add detail and realism to pictures. The system was once known for memes and simple art. Now it aims to compete with advanced image generators. Fans praised the step, while critics doubted if the results would meet the claims.

• Grok’s upgrade comes as AI rivals push video to new levels. OpenAI’s Sora already creates realistic video and Google’s Veo added vertical 9:16 formats for Shorts and Reels. With this update, Musk is placing Grok directly in the race. Supporters on X quickly spread the demo to thousands of viewers.

💡What This Means for You

AI video is no longer a future promise, it is here now. If you work in design, marketing, or media, you may soon be asked to use tools like Grok to make talking content. The real test is not if AI can make videos, but which AI will shape your projects.
