Hand-picked News
The price war for global AI dominance is heating upāand Southeast Asia is the new battleground.
OpenAIās 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
Googleās 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.
ā This isnāt just about pricingāitās about who gets to shape the future of AI in fast-growing regions. OpenAIās move signals a push for mass adoption, while Google flexes its ecosystem muscle.
Quick tip: If youāre testing AI tools for your team or audience, this is a great time to compare features across platformsāespecially if you're in Southeast Asia.
The worldās most popular messaging app is quietly breaking down language barriers and itās 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.
ā This is a big win for accessibility and global connection. WhatsApp isnāt just catching upāitās setting the standard for secure, seamless multilingual messaging.
Quick tip: If youāre 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 āmake it betterā - literally.
Android users can now talk or text their edits using Gemini AI inside Google Photos
Commands like āremove the clutterā or āadd cloudsā 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. Itās part of Googleās push to make natural language interfaces the norm in creative tools.
ā This is a huge leap for everyday creators. No sliders, no layersājust describe what you want and let AI do the rest. Itās editing for the TikTok generation.
Quick tip: Try āHelp me editā on your next photo and see how far Gemini can go. You might never touch manual tools again.
