Major Product Updates
Cloudflare Launches “Agents Week” — A Full Platform for AI Agents
Cloudflare rolled out its biggest push yet into AI agents this week, unveiling a suite of tools that let developers build, deploy, and give autonomy to AI systems that act on behalf of users. The headline features include Project Think (a framework for next-generation agents), Agent Lee (a conversational interface to Cloudflare itself), Browser Run (giving agents their own web browser), and Sandboxes going generally available — effectively giving each agent its own computer.
For communicators: this is Cloudflare positioning itself as the infrastructure layer for the coming wave of AI agents that book travel, handle customer service, and automate back-office work. It’s comparable to AWS claiming the cloud a decade ago.
Facebook Rolls Out Opt-In Camera Roll Suggestions in the EU and UK
Meta is now offering users in the EU and UK an opt-in feature that lets Facebook scan their phone’s camera roll to suggest posts. Users must explicitly turn it on, and Meta says photos are analyzed on-device to surface memories and shareable moments. The rollout was delayed in these regions pending privacy clearance, and the opt-in framing is a direct response to GDPR and UK data protection scrutiny.
Meta Partners With Broadcom to Co-Develop Custom AI Silicon
Meta announced a partnership with Broadcom to co-design custom AI chips, joining Google, Amazon, and Microsoft in reducing dependence on Nvidia. In plain terms: Meta wants to control the silicon that powers its AI training and inference to cut costs and tune performance for its own workloads. This is a significant signal for the broader industry’s shift toward vertical integration in AI infrastructure.
DEVONthink To Go 4.1 “Lagrange” Released
The iOS companion to DEVONthink got a major update with improved sync reliability, better PDF handling, and expanded support for transclusion (embedding snippets from one document inside another). Useful for anyone who works with a research or knowledge base on the go.
Inoreader Lets You Choose Your AI Platform for Intelligence Features
Inoreader now lets subscribers pick which AI provider powers its summarization and smart-feed features — a meaningful shift from locked-in single-vendor AI. Users can select between different models depending on preference for quality, cost, or privacy. A practical nod to the reality that no single AI is best at everything.
Auphonic Adds Automatic Video Cutting: Remove Silence, Filler Words, and Coughs
Auphonic, long known for audio post-production, now applies its silence- and filler-word-removal to video. The tool can automatically cut “um,” “uh,” coughs, and background music from video files — a useful timesaver for anyone producing podcasts with video versions or talking-head content.
