Apple reportedly plans a major AI-powered overhaul of Siri, paying Google roughly $1 billion per year to power the revamp.
Key Details:
When Apple Intelligence was first introduced at WWDC24, it showcased a new Smart Siri with “on-screen awareness” to autonomously manage emails or craft text replies. It turns out Smart Siri was nowhere near ready.
Apple Intelligence has failed to meet expectations so far with missed deadlines, deleted commercials, and half-baked rollouts. Apple currently faces several class-action lawsuits for false advertising over Smart Siri. Apple’s internal AI research initiatives have failed spectacularly so far.
Google will provide a tailored version of Gemini, enabling Siri to directly answer your most pressing questions with accuracy, depth, and personalized relevance. It’ll also enable the virtual assistant to generate quick, short, and concise summaries of anything on your screen.
Why It’s Important:
Apple aims to eventually make Siri the “true hands-free controller of your iPhone” that can see, hear, and speak naturally and contextually to anticipate your needs.
For example, imagine saying: “Hey Siri, send this photo to John!” Siri would understand you’re currently viewing a specific photo, open Messages, attach that specific photo with a tailored text based on your texting style, and send it to John.

🤝Microsoft’s Agentic Marketplace Reveals BIG Flaws

Microsoft developed “Magentic Marketplace,” a simulated marketplace where AI Agents interact with each other to buy or sell products and services.
Key Details:
AI Agents are like proactive personal assistants that autonomously operate across websites to browse, book, or buy on your behalf. They’re also transforming how enterprises handle complex business processes by independently analyzing, executing, and fulfilling on an employee’s behalf.
As a result, we’re beginning to witness the rise of Agentic Marketplaces, where Consumer Agents and Business Agents interact, negotiate, and transact with each other.
“Magentic Marketplace” consists of 100 Consumer Agents that search and select products and 300 Business Agents that price products, enabling Microsoft to analyze how AI Agents compete and cooperate in dynamic economic settings.
Why It’s Important:
They consistently observed the “paradox of choice”: when AI Agents are presented with too many options, the quality of their decisions drastically declines.
For example, when GPT-5 was faced with 100 products, it struggled to stay focused and made poorer decisions 44% more often, defaulting to “first-proposal bias”: accepting the first product or price that’s offered.
