Hand-picked News
The price war for global AI dominance is heating up—and Southeast Asia is the new battleground.
OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Go plan costs just $4.50/month in Indonesia
Users get 10x more usage than the free tier, plus smarter memory for personalized chats
Google’s rival AI Plus plan launched days earlier, bundling Gemini 2.5 Pro and creative tools like Flow and Veo 3 Fast
Both plans are aimed at unlocking AI access for millions in emerging markets, where affordability is key and competition is fierce.
✅ This isn’t just about pricing—it’s about who gets to shape the future of AI in fast-growing regions. OpenAI’s move signals a push for mass adoption, while Google flexes its ecosystem muscle.
Quick tip: If you’re testing AI tools for your team or audience, this is a great time to compare features across platforms—especially if you're in Southeast Asia.
The world’s most popular messaging app is quietly breaking down language barriers and it’s happening right inside your chats.
You can now translate any message instantly with a long press on iOS and Android
Android users get an extra perk: auto-translation for entire chats
Translations happen locally on your device, keeping everything end-to-end encrypted
This update is rolling out globally, with support for 6 languages on Android and 19+ on iPhone. It works across private chats, groups, and even Channel updates.
✅ This is a big win for accessibility and global connection. WhatsApp isn’t just catching up—it’s setting the standard for secure, seamless multilingual messaging.
Quick tip: If you’re chatting with international clients, creators, or communities, this feature could save you serious time (and awkward Google Translate copy-pastes).
Editing your pics is now as easy as saying “make it better” - literally.
Android users can now talk or text their edits using Gemini AI inside Google Photos
Commands like “remove the clutter” or “add clouds” trigger instant, on-device changes
AI-generated edits are labeled and work across basic tweaks and complex object removals
This feature was Pixel-exclusive but is now rolling out to eligible Android users in the U.S. It’s part of Google’s push to make natural language interfaces the norm in creative tools.
✅ This is a huge leap for everyday creators. No sliders, no layers—just describe what you want and let AI do the rest. It’s editing for the TikTok generation.
Quick tip: Try “Help me edit” on your next photo and see how far Gemini can go. You might never touch manual tools again.
