Pinterest's AI Turns Catalogs Into Collages

Pinterest is testing "auto-collages," an AI feature that transforms advertisers' product catalogs into shoppable collage experiences with minimal effort. Because nothing says "authentic creativity" like having an algorithm arrange your products for maximum consumption appeal.

The feature groups products based on outfit ideas, user engagement patterns, and saving behaviors—essentially doing what Gen Z users already do, but with the cold efficiency of AI. Early tests show users save these auto-generated collages at twice the rate of regular pins.

Pinterest's VP proudly announced this as an "exciting leap" that helps brands "resonate with Gen Z and beyond," which is corporate-speak for "we've found another way to make shopping feel like personal expression while actually being algorithmically optimized."

AI-Powered Browsing Gets Personal

The Browser Company is back from the ashes of Arc with "Dia," a browser that might finally answer the question: "What if your browser actually remembered what you do online?" Unlike its overly ambitious predecessor, Dia keeps things simple but adds an AI sidekick that actually pays attention.

This digital companion knows when you're obsessively comparison shopping coats on Amazon or struggling with email drafts. It routes your queries to specialized "skills" - which sounds suspiciously like asking your browser to play matchmaker between your problems and its solutions.

For privacy paranoids: your data stays locally encrypted, with processing happening in "milliseconds" in the cloud. Sure, and my battery lasts all day too.

Gemini Takes Notes in Docs, Might Need Coffee Break

Google's latest AI pet, Gemini, has snuck into Google Docs on Android, promising to make your workday less work-like. The floating assistant icon lets Workspace subscribers summon AI help to summarize documents, highlight key points, or suggest improvements across 20+ languages.

The real game-changer? You can finally skim those endless reports during your commute without actually reading them. Perfect for appearing prepared while doing minimal work!

Gemini also introduces "Scheduled Actions" for Pro/Ultra subscribers, automating tasks like calendar summaries and blog idea generation. Because what's better than an AI assistant? One that works on a schedule.

Google's enterprise AI push continues, though the jury's still out on whether Gemini actually improves productivity or just gives us more time to scroll social media.

Meta Supercharges Video with AI Magic

Meta has jumped into the AI video editing race with new tools for its Meta AI app and "Edits" platform. The feature offers 50 preset options to transform your 10-second clips - turning ordinary videos into vintage comics, space adventures, or rainy day scenes with just a tap.

While limited to preset options for now, this marks Meta's challenge to Google and other AI video tools. It's a strategic play to keep creators in Meta's ecosystem rather than wandering off to third-party editing apps.

The company promises more customization later this year, positioning these tools as fun ways to "reimagine family memories" or "entertain your audience." Just don't expect unlimited creative freedom quite yet – those 50 presets are your only options for now.
