Is there any AI platform better than ChatGPT to create brochures or Postcards from existing portfolio?

📝 TL;DR Google just gave Chrome a new Gemini feature called Auto Browse that can click around the web for you, compare options, fill forms, and move data between sites while you stay in the tab you care about. This is your browser quietly turning into an AI agent that does chores online instead of you. 🧠 Overview Gemini is no longer just a sidebar that summarizes pages, it can now actually use the web. Auto Browse lives inside Chrome and lets Gemini 3 handle multi step tasks like planning trips, shopping within a budget, renewing things, or digging through your accounts to find what you need. For now it is rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra users in the US, but this is clearly Google’s opening move toward an “agentic browser” where your main job is to say what you want, not click a hundred buttons to get there. 📜 The Announcement Google announced a new Gemini in Chrome experience that includes a persistent side panel and a feature called Auto Browse. You open the Gemini panel, describe what you want, and Chrome spins up one or more tabs that Gemini controls on screen. In Google’s demos, Auto Browse handled tasks like reordering a jacket from a past order, hunting for discount codes, booking tours for a trip, and keeping the cart under a set budget. It connects across Google products like Gmail, Calendar, Shopping, Flights and Maps so it can find details in your email, check your schedule, and then act on the right sites, all from inside Chrome. ⚙️ How It Works • Always on Gemini side panel - Chrome now has a Gemini panel you can pin so the assistant sits beside any page while you browse, ready to summarize, compare, or start Auto Browse for a task. • Auto Browse agents - When you ask for a multi step task, Gemini opens a tab, clicks links, fills forms, and navigates sites on your behalf while you watch its actions in real time. • Connected Google apps - Auto Browse can pull info from Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Shopping, and Flights, so it can find past orders, check dates, or look up saved trips without you copy pasting.

📝 TL;DR Starting with Firefox 148, Mozilla is adding a dedicated AI Controls panel that lets you turn off all current and future AI features in one click, or pick and choose the ones you want. This is the first mainstream browser that makes AI truly optional, not something quietly forced into your workflow. 🧠 Overview AI is creeping into every browser and app, often in ways users do not really notice until things feel noisy or invasive. Mozilla has heard the pushback and is taking a different route, shipping a central AI Controls section in Firefox that includes a master “Block AI enhancements” switch plus granular toggles for each AI feature. It is a clear positioning play, yes, Firefox is becoming a “modern AI browser,” but only for people who actually want that. Everyone else gets a clean, AI free experience by default if they choose. 📜 The Announcement From Firefox 148 on February 24, desktop users will see a new AI Controls section in Settings. From that single screen, you can: - Hit one switch to block all AI “enhancements” now and in the future - Or selectively turn off things like the sidebar chatbot, AI translations, AI tab grouping, alt text generation for PDFs, and AI powered link previews Mozilla is framing this as a response to user feedback, especially from people who said they wanted “nothing to do with AI” in their browser, alongside others who do want useful AI but on their own terms. ⚙️ How It Works • Central AI Controls page - Firefox 148 adds a dedicated AI Controls section in Settings so you can see every AI feature in one place instead of hunting through multiple menus. • Master “Block AI enhancements” toggle - Turn this on to disable all existing AI features and prevent new ones from being surfaced or suggested in future releases. • Per feature toggles - If you like some AI but not all, you can turn off specific tools such as the sidebar chatbot, AI based translations, tab grouping suggestions, link previews, or PDF alt text.

📝 TL;DR A new market report says photonics electronics convergence tech will grow from about $21.5B in 2024 to over $104B by 2032. In plain English, we are hitting the limits of normal chips, and light based hardware is stepping in to keep AI, data centers, and defense systems moving. 🧠 Overview Traditional electronics are starting to choke on AI scale, data center traffic, and defense workloads. The bottleneck is not just compute any more, it is how fast you can move data around without melting the hardware or the power bill. Photonics electronics convergence, using light alongside electrons inside chips, interconnects, and systems, is now being framed as the core backbone for next generation computing, 5G and 6G networks, autonomous systems, and advanced military platforms through the 2030s. 📜 The Announcement According to the new forecast, the photonics electronics convergence technology market was about $18B in 2023, grew to roughly $21.5B in 2024, and is projected to reach around $104B by 2032, a compound annual growth rate of a little over 22 percent. The report points to three main demand engines, hyperscale AI data centers, high speed telecom networks, and defense and sensing systems that are all hitting bandwidth, latency, and energy efficiency walls with pure electronics. Photonic integrated circuits, optical interconnects, and silicon photonics are highlighted as the biggest value drivers over the next decade, with the United States set to hold the largest regional share and IT and telecom as the leading end user segment. ⚙️ How It Works • Data movement becomes the choke point - Training and running large AI models depends on moving huge volumes of data across chips, boards, racks, and data centers, electronics hit physical and thermal limits while photonics can move data faster with less heat and power.
