Microsoft Copilot Cowork is a multi-step AI agent built on Anthropic's Claude. This post covers Work IQ, Agent 365, pricing, and real-world usage scenarios from a developer's perspective — two weeks of research after the March 9th announcement.
What if you told an AI agent to fetch data from an API — and it handled the payment automatically, without you lifting a finger? That's exactly what became possible on March 18, 2026, when Stripe launched the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) with Tempo. Here's what it is, how it works, and why it matters.
Google has opened AI Mode's Canvas feature to all English-speaking users in the US. 'The search bar became an app' isn't an exaggeration anymore. I spent two days testing whether you can genuinely research, draft documents, and generate code without ever switching tabs — here's what I found.
CapCut now lets you use OpenAI Sora 2 and Google Veo 3.1 inside the same editing interface. After testing both with identical prompts, here's the honest breakdown: Sora 2 wins on cinematic aesthetics, Veo 3.1 wins on 4K stability and automatic audio. Either way, the generate-to-edit pipeline is now seamless.
Ever wished your AI could directly access your database, read your Slack messages, or automatically create GitHub issues? MCP is the open protocol that makes this possible — and it's now been adopted by OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. This guide walks you through building your first MCP server in Python and connecting it to Claude Desktop.
Last Thursday night I spent two hours on an e-commerce site trying to buy a mechanical keyboard and left empty-handed. Too many options, too much noise. Now Meta AI is testing a shopping research feature that promises to handle that legwork for you. Here's what it is, how it works, and how it stacks up against ChatGPT and Google Gemini's shopping features.
Last week ChatGPT confidently told me a currency exchange rate that was 3% off. In a financial service, that's not a rounding error — it's a bug. In February 2026, Stephen Wolfram announced a new approach called CAG (Computation-Augmented Generation) that replaces AI guesses with real-time calculations. Here's how it works and how to integrate it.
Last week I had to get through a 50-page technical spec PDF with a two-day deadline. Too long for ChatGPT's context, too time-consuming to read manually. A colleague said 'just use NotebookLM' — and 5 minutes later I had a clean one-page summary with citations. Here's the complete step-by-step guide.
AI translation has become part of every developer's daily toolkit. Whether you're reading Stack Overflow answers, skimming docs, or emailing a client overseas — you reach for a translator without thinking. But which one actually works better? I tested DeepL Pro and Google Translate head-to-head across 5 real-world scenarios to find out.
Last week I had to present at an internal team seminar with no time to build slides. A colleague said 'try Gamma' — and within 10 minutes I had a 15-slide deck that looked better than anything I'd spent three hours on in PowerPoint. Here's the complete step-by-step guide.
A developer's hands-on guide to bulk document analysis with Google NotebookLM. Covers Deep Research, audio summaries, data table export, and the workflow that turned a three-day manual review into a 10-minute task.
A practical guide to Claude Opus 4.6's adaptive thinking and fast mode features. Covers effort level cost comparisons, API code examples, and tips you won't find in the official docs. Released February 5th — here's everything you need to start using it effectively.
