🧩 Prompt of the Day

🌐 Gemini Just Turned Chrome Into an AI Workspace

Google is rolling out major updates to Gemini in Chrome, built on Gemini 3, to make browsing more productive and agentic. The goal is simple: Chrome becomes less about searching and more about actually getting things done while you stay in flow.

The Shift:

1) Gemini now lives beside you in a side panel - Gemini opens in a new Chrome side panel so it can assist across any tab, helping with multitasking like comparing options, summarizing reviews, and managing schedules without switching windows.

Chrome now includes Nano Banana, letting users edit or transform images directly inside the browser with a prompt, whether that means design inspiration, quick creative tweaks, or turning data into infographics.

2) Connected Apps let Gemini work across Google services - Gemini in Chrome supports Connected Apps like Gmail, Calendar, Maps, YouTube, Shopping, Flights, and more, so it can pull context from your tools to help complete real workflows faster.

For AI Pro and Ultra users in the U.S., Chrome Auto Browse can handle multi-step online chores like booking travel, filling forms, collecting documents, renewing licenses, or even shopping from an image.

Chrome is moving beyond being a browser into an assistant-driven workspace. With side-panel help, app connections, personal memory coming soon, and agentic automation, Gemini is pushing browsing toward a future where the web works for you.

  2. Pick the angle you need: Select from the right-side panel: wide, close-up, reverse angle, behind-the-subject, and more.

  3. Generate instantly: Hit Generate and get a new cinematic perspective for just 0.2 credits, even for tricky spatial shots.

Perfect for filmmakers, ad creatives, storyboards, and anyone who needs faster visual iteration. You can try it here 

🚀 China’s Kimi K2.5 Just Entered the Coding Agent Race

Moonshot AI is moving fast, and Kimi K2.5 is their biggest open-source swing yet. It’s not just another chatbot model; it’s built for multimodal coding, video reasoning, and agent-style workflows.

The Decode:

1) Kimi K2.5 is a new open multimodal foundation model - Moonshot released Kimi K2.5 as an open-source model that understands text, images, and video, trained on 15 trillion mixed tokens for native multimodal performance.

2) Benchmarks show it beating top closed rivals - Kimi K2.5 outperforms Gemini 3 Pro on SWE-Bench Verified, scores higher than GPT-5.2 on multilingual coding tests, and beats GPT-5.2 plus Claude Opus 4.5 on VideoMMMU reasoning.

3) Kimi Code turns the model into a full coding agent - Moonshot launched Kimi Code, an open-source terminal coding tool that rivals Claude Code and Gemini CLI, supporting images and video inputs inside VSCode, Cursor, and Zed workflows.

Coding tools are exploding as revenue drivers, with Claude Code already hitting $1B ARR, while DeepSeek is expected to ship another major coding model soon. Moonshot’s launch is a clear signal that the next AI battle is not just models, but full developer agents
