Threads tests a Meta AI integration that works similarly to Grok

Threads tests a Meta AI integration that works similarly to Grok

Threads is testing a Meta AI integration that works similarly to X’s Grok. Users with a public account will be able to mention Meta AI in a post or a reply to get more context. The feature is currenty in beta testing in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Argentina, and Singapore. Meta told TechCrunch in an email that the feature is designed to help people get real-time context about trends and breaking stories, as well as receive recommendations, all within conversations. Now, users can mention Meta AI to ask questions like, “why are people talking about the World Cup this month?, “whose Met Gala looks are trending right now?” or “how are the Knicks doing in the playoffs?” Meta AI will then process the invocation and respond as a public reply authored by the @meta.ai account. Meta AI will respond in the language used in the post it was mentioned in. By integrating Meta AI into its platform, Threads is positioning itself as not just a destination for chatting about news and trends, but also a place where you can get information and recommendations without having to leave the app. The idea is similar to Grok’s role on X, which is filled with posts of users asking the AI chatbot questions like “is this real?” or “explain this.” Of course, giving an AI chatbot this level of visibility carries risks, as seen on X whenGrok generated postspraising Hitler. Still, Meta AI notably has stronger safeguards in place than Grok, though it remains to be seen whether it will be prone to similar issues. Meta notes that if you want to see fewer Meta AI replies in your feed, you can mute @meta.ai, use the “Not interested” option on any Meta AI post, or hide a Meta AI reply that appears directly on your post. The company says it plans to learn from early feedback and will continue improving the experience before expanding it to more people.

Google’s ‘Create My Widget’ feature will let you vibe code your own widgets

Google’s ‘Create My Widget’ feature will let you vibe code your own widgets

Google on Tuesday unveiled a new “Create My Widget” feature for Android that allows users to vibe code their own custom widgets. The feature will first launch on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer. To create a widget, users will be able to describe what they want using natural language. For example, you could ask the feature to “suggest three high-protein meal prep recipes every week” in order to get a custom dashboard that you can add and resize on your home screen. Or, if you’re a cyclist who only cares about wind speed and rain, you can create a weather widget that just surfaces those exact stats on your home screen. Gemini can also pull information from the web and connect with Google apps like Gmail and Calendar to build a single, personalized dashboard. For instance, if you’re planning a family reunion in Berlin, it can gather your flight and hotel details, surface restaurant reservations, and even add a countdown. The feature signals Google’s latest push to bring generative AI deeper into the Android experience, as tech companies race to make customization tools more accessible to everyday users. “This is like you asking your personal assistant a question, and having them just bring you the answer on repeat,” said Ben Greenwood, Director, PM, Android Core Experiences, during a briefing with reporters. “So think of it as asking Gemini things about the world, things about its knowledge of what’s going on and events, as well as things about your personal data. Those are sort of the two areas that unlock an enormous number of use cases that we’re super excited about.” The company announced the new feature alongside the unveiling of Gemini Intelligence, which will bring additional features like advanced autofill, an AI-powered voice dictation feature for Gboard, and more.

The AI legal services industry is heating up. Anthropic is getting in on the action.

The AI legal services industry is heating up. Anthropic is getting in on the action.

Anthropic announced Tuesday that it is launching a host of new chatbot features designed to provide automated assistance to law firms. The new features expand Claude for Legal — the law-focused offering thatlaunched earlier this year— offering users a new set of legal plugins and MCP connectors designed for specific areas of law. The new tools come amid hot competition in the legal AI space. In March, the AI law startup Harvey, which uses agentic AI to automate legal workflows,raised $200 millionat a valuation of $11 billion. Last month, a rival startup, Legora,raised a $600 millionseries D, and launcheda high-profile ad campaignfeaturing Jude Law. Legora offers similar services to Harvey — automated solutions built to simplify the often byzantine law processes that have traditionally involved entire teams of humans. Anthropic’s new tools are designed to help law firms automate specific clerical functions — things like document search and review, case law resources, deposition prep, document drafting, and other related areas. The plugins — which represent a bundle of functions and automated tools — are designed to work across legal fields like commercial, privacy, corporate, employment, product, and AI governance, Anthropic says. Anthropic is also offering a number of model context protocol connectors. MCPs connect specific data sources and third-party systems to AI models, allowing the models to interact with them directly. In this case, the new MCP connectors integrate Claude into a variety of software applications that are already routinely used by law firms — applications for document management like DocuSign and file search platforms like Box. Legal research sites like Thomson Reuters (which operates Westlaw) can also be connected. The new connectors and plugins are being made available to all paying Claude customers, the company said. The new features also build upon other plugins designed for the legal industrythat the company launchedin February. “The legal sector is facing mounting pressure to adopt AI, and the firms and in-house teams that move are pulling ahead fast,” a spokesperson for the company said. “Claude is making a deeper push into knowledge work, with the legal sector emerging as one of its most significant and fastest-growing industries.” As AI companies have sought to court law firms, AI-related failures have caused real problems in court. Dozens of lawyershave been caughtusing AI to generate error-ridden legal documents, as has at least onemajor law firm. Last year, Californiaissued a first-of-its-kind fineagainst an attorney who had used ChatGPT to draft an appeal riddled with fake quotes. Federal judgeshave also been caughtusing it to draft rulings, a trend thatdrew the scrutinyof Congressional leaders last year. Meanwhile,AI-generated lawsuitsare said to be clogging the arteries of justice — overwhelming courts with stacks of bizarrely argued legal “slop.”
