Google's Gemini app now offers Immersive Explorations, an interactive learning feature that lets you explore subjects like ancient trade routes, jet engines, and lightning through layered visual explanations.

Most of us download and install new apps and self-hosted services without a second thought, but if you do anything important on your PC, it can be a significant security risk.

Google’s Antigravity is an AI-first coding environment built on the bones of VS Code. It gets less attention than Gemini, yet it may be the company’s most interesting AI product. The key word here is most interesting, though, not better. Here’s what it does, where it impresses, and where it still frustrates.

This eDegree covers Claude prompting, automation, integrations, and coding for practical business use.

Do you, like me, obsess over your Claude sessions, trying to optimize everything down to a single token? If so, you’re in good company — I’ve been trying everything to stretch my $20 Claude Pro subscription as far as I can.

AI agents have moved well beyond answering questions. They can now open folders, write code, and click through websites on your behalf. Here are three of the wildest things I’ve handed over to them, and what each one taught me about where this technology actually helps.

Cursor made AI-assisted coding feel effortless, but its subscription and cloud dependence left me looking for something leaner. Cline, an open-source extension for VS Code, covered most of what I needed, including working fully offline with local models.
