Full Summary

This Tuesday morning, multiple sources like iClarified, Pulse 2.0, and techgig.com confirm that Cursor, the AI-assisted code editor, has launched a new native iOS app. This app, now in public beta, allows developers to manage and direct AI coding agents directly from their iPhones. The Cursor iOS app lets users launch agents in the cloud or control agents running on their local Mac or PC, even supporting voice input and slash commands. Developers can receive notifications when tasks are ready for review and merge pull requests remotely. Cloud agents operate in isolated virtual machines for independent testing. Notably, this launch follows Anysphere, Cursor's parent company, being acquired by SpaceX in a $60 billion deal. Meanwhile, Google is also expanding its AI capabilities. Blockchain.news reports that Google Gemini now offers free personalized image creation for US users, integrating with apps like Gmail and Google Photos to tailor images without manual uploads. Android Authority adds that new findings in the Google app hint at controlling desktop Gemini from a phone, potentially via Gemini Spark, its 24/7 AI agent. OpenAI is not to be outdone. Android Authority reveals ChatGPT has rolled out a new native Scheduled Tasks feature, allowing users to automate daily routines directly within the chat interface. ManilaShaker Philippines notes that Viber has integrated ChatGPT features, letting users ask questions, summarize chats, and even edit pictures with AI Polish and Image Remix without leaving the app. Geeky Gadgets compares ChatGPT Plus, at $20 a month, with SuperGrok at $30, highlighting ChatGPT's strengths in writing, coding, and productivity, while SuperGrok excels in advanced video creation and real-time data access. The Print reports on Meta's "Project Cannes," where contractors posed as minors to test the safety systems of rival AI chatbots like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT. It's FOSS announces Proton's Lumo 2.0, an updated AI assistant with user-controlled memory and improved web search with source citations.
