AI AGENTS

Google enters the AI agent race

Our Report: Google has unveiled an onslaught of new features, tools, and updates, including Gemini 2.0 which can ā€œgenerate audio and imagesā€ (as well as text), and brings new ā€œmultimodal capabilitiesā€ that are powering its ā€œnext big thing: AI agents,ā€ which it demonstrated via the (beta) launch of its first AI agentā€”Project Marinerā€”which can navigate the web autonomously.

šŸ”‘ Key Points:

  • The Gemini 2.0-powered agent can independently move the cursor and click buttons, allowing it to complete tasks like filling out forms, adding items to a shopping cart, finding flights and hotels, and surfacing recipes.

  • Itā€™s been released to testers, who say itā€™s slowā€”taking 5 seconds between each cursor movementā€”and just works on active Chrome tabs, meaning users canā€™t do anything but watch the agent (slowly) working.

  • Google says this was intentional, so users know what the agent is doing, as was the decision to not allow it to accept cookies, sign terms of service agreements, or complete payments, giving users more control.

šŸ¤” Why you should care: While users could find it frustrating to watch the agent slowly click around their screen adding items to their grocery cart or finding a recipe for lasagnaā€”after all, with 5 seconds between each cursor movement, they could probably complete these tasks much quicker, themselvesā€”website owners may benefit, as it means users will be ā€˜forcedā€™ to visit and view their webpages, although with the current rate of AI advancement, these agents may not need human intervention, at all meaning eventually, users will not need to visit or view their websites.

Will the rise of AI agents be a positive or negative thing for website owners?

AI AGENTS

Our Report: Google sees ā€œ2025 as the true start of the AI agent eraā€ and, alongside Project Mariner, revealed three other ā€œexperimentalā€ AI agents that, rather than completing general tasks autonomously, have been built for specific jobs: Deep research, coding, and video gaming.

šŸ”‘ Key Points:

  • Deep Research completes multi-step reasoning to answer lengthy or difficult questionsā€”like OpenAIā€™s, o1ā€”although it does take a few minutes, and canā€™t solve math/logical reasoning problems.

  • Julesā€”although in ā€˜early developmentā€™ and ā€˜may make mistakesā€™ā€”integrates into the developer platform, GitHub, views code, and suggests multistep plans to fix coding issues (similar to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot).

  • Google is working with game developers to build its last agent (still WIP, with no release date) that will understand the rules of video games and give players ā€œsuggestions on what to do next, in real-time.ā€

šŸ¤” Why you should care: Although Google has joined the AI agent raceā€”competing alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and othersā€”groundbreaking AI agents that can ā€œunderstand more about the world around you, think multiple steps ahead, and complete tasks on your behalf, with your supervision,ā€ are still unpredictable, after Anthropic recently admitted that its AI agent ā€œsuddenly took a breakā€ from a coding demo and ā€œbegan to peruse photos of Yellowstoneā€ā€”and many (understandably) will not handle sensitive data, like account details meaning, despite the hype, theyā€™re not yet ready to take over the world, at mass-market scale.

ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€”

TOGETHER WITH MODEMOBILE

No, itā€™s not NVIDIAā€¦ It's Mode Mobile: Last year's fastest-growing software company, according to Deloitte.

Modeā€™s disruptive $martphone has already helped consumers secure and save $325M+ through simple, everyday use. That led to 32,481% revenue growth between 2019 and 2022 and presence in 170+ countries.

They are disrupting a market worth over $1 trillion and Walmart and Best Buy are already distributing their EarnPhone.

They've just secured their Nasdaq ticker $MODE and you can still invest in their pre-IPO offering and secure up to 2X extra stock.

Next Friday will be the last time they will issue shares this year, so donā€™t miss it!

INTEGRATIONS

  • For the fifth day of its ā€œ12 Days of OpenAI,ā€ campaign, OpenAI rolled out the ChatGPT/iPhone integrationā€”as part of Appleā€™s iOS 18.2 updateā€”which brings ChatGPT capabilities to Siri, writing tools, and camera features.

  • Now, if Siri canā€™t answer a question, it will default to ChatGPT (after asking for user permission), and users can also create text and images, from scratch, using ChatGPT/DALL-E, via Appleā€™s ā€˜Writing Toolsā€™ feature.

  • ChatGPT will also power a ā€˜Visual Intelligenceā€™ camera feature which, once the camera is pointed at something, will give users information about what theyā€™re looking at and also sumamrize text, or translate copy.

HEALTH

  • Microsoftā€™s CEO of AIā€”Mustafa Suleyman (co-founder of Inflection and Googleā€™s DeepMind)ā€”has hired multiple DeepMind staff to help run a new consumer-focused AI health division.

  • Dominic King, the ex-head of DeepMindā€™s own AI health unit, will head up Microsoft's new team (as VP), and Christopher Kellyā€”DeepMind research scientistā€”and 2 other DeepMind research scientists will join him.

  • With over 48% of the public turning to AI chatbots, like ChatGPT, for health-related help, the new division will develop AI-powered health-related applications to address this demand for online health information.
