Photograph a crumpled receipt and ask a chatbot what it contains: reading and condensing documents is core work for these tools. Photograph a chessboard and ask where the pieces stand: OpenAI’s documentation picks that exact example when it concedes its models handle precise spatial location badly. A multimodal model, plainly, takes in more than text … Read more
This guide is for anyone translating emails, work documents or texts with a personal tone who is unsure whether to use DeepL, Google Translate or a chatbot such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude.

Western Australia is seeking a partial refund of the A$166,000 it paid Deloitte for a 219-page cost-benefit analysis of a three-university merger.

A formula suggested by an AI assistant cannot rescue a poorly organized report, and a polished explanation can still conceal a wrong calculation. That is the premise behind a wave of subsidized training programs that pair Excel skills with practical AI use, funded through … Read more
Parents and teachers in Spain asking whether minors can use chatbots, and with what protections, must compare company terms with data-protection law. By October 2026, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude set different age floors, while Spain’s 14-year consent rule survives a reform that died in Congress. Key Point: Organic Law 3/2018, Article 7, lets minors consent … Read more
Walmart is giving AI agents a dedicated front door. On Oct. 21, it unveiled an Agent Gateway and Agent Profiles that let approved assistants shop for customers across Walmart and Sam’s Club, with separate identities, default approvals and optional spending caps. Amazon chose the opposite path: it sued Perplexity, blocked Meta’s Muse and invoked its … Read more
