OpenAI is building out the pieces of an alternative to the traditional app store model, turning ChatGPT into a place where software can be discovered and used by people and AI agents alike.

Wabi is repositioning its prompt-based app builder as a personal AI agent that can create interfaces on demand, combining chat, apps, and ongoing tasks.

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT plug-ins with dedicated sidebar homes, interactive panels, file viewers, improved discovery, and support for automations.

OpenAI is expanding Codex with reusable cloud development environments, a revamped CLI with voice controls, new code review tools, and a security-focused product for scanning repositories and preparing fixes.

Shopify is expanding WebMCP support to checkout, allowing browser-based AI agents to update order details and complete purchases with a buyer’s authorization.

As all-in-one AI agents like Meta's Muse and Instinct take off, Google is opting to end a feature that built task-specific agents.

"This funding helps us bring Instinct to more people and continue building the future of personal AI. It’s an exciting, creative time, and we're just getting started," founder Noah Shinn said in a statement.

Anyone interested in joining has to ask Muse to put them on the list.

Muse is topping the app store charts and adding users at a rapid clip, while Meta ramps up the personal AI agent's promotion across its own apps and beyond.

Meta’s new AI gadget may look like a Tamagotchi, but its dangling form factor taps into a much broader Gen Z trend around bag charms, retro tech, and turning gadgets into fashion accessories.

The AI-powered feature builds a virtual wardrobe from your photos, and is now broadly available after first rolling out to Android users in June.

Google says the AI-calling feature will first be available to Pixel 11 owners in the U.S. who pay for a Gemini subscription.

Meta says the camera-free glasses will be lighter and have up to 12 hours of battery life.

YouTube’s new custom feeds let users describe the videos they want to see in their own words, then use Gemini to build a personalized feed around the request.

Spotify is rolling out Taste Profile to Premium users in the U.S., letting listeners see how the streamer understands their tastes and use natural language to reshape their recommendations.

Meta says Muse was built from scratch, but acknowledges the AI assistant was "heavily inspired" by OpenClaw — down to some of its workspace filenames and content.

Meta’s new AI agent Muse has racked up more downloads and daily active users in the U.S. and Canada than ChatGPT did over the same period after its mobile debut, according to new estimates from Appfigures.

Google’s AI-native Googlebook ties Gemini to the cursor, dictation, widgets, and other parts of the desktop experience.

Google is refocusing its CC AI agent on household coordination, letting families share emails, schedules, and tasks so the AI can manage calendars, fill out forms, make shopping lists, plan meals, and more.

Muse is now available on the Mac, where it can work with your files and apps to take action on your behalf.
