Google is reportedly building a significant upgrade for its generative AI assistant Gemini that could shift it from being primarily a conversational helper to something closer to a real-life work agent. In a recent beta teardown of the Google app code by 9to5Google, developers uncovered strings pointing to a feature known internally as “screen automation”. It suggests that Gemini could soon take direct actions on your behalf inside certain Android apps, such as placing orders or booking rides, without requiring the user to manually tap through screens. While Gemini already powers conversational tasks like drafting emails or generating research plans,…

There is a new kind of work platform on the internet, and it flips the usual script in an unsettling way. Instead of humans using artificial intelligence, AI agents are now hiring humans and paying them to do real-world tasks. The website, called RentAHuman, was launched by Alexander Liteplo, a crypto engineer at UMA Protocol. “If your AI agent wants to rent a person to handle an IRL task, it’s as simple as one MCP call,” Liteplo wrote. He also said the site was built by vibe coding through a Ralph loop, where multiple Claude-based AI agents repeatedly run until…
ProbablyMonsters, the studio behind last year’s Storm Lancers, has revealed Nekome: Nazi Hunter, a third-person action game where – you guessed it – you kill a lot of nazis. The game’s release date and playable platforms remain to be announced, but if the idea of getting revenge against nazi soldiers during World War II sounds like a great time, it’s a game you might want to keep an eye on. “In Nekome: Nazi Hunter, players step into the role of Vano Nastasu, a young Romani man consumed by grief after the brutal murder of his family by nazi soldiers,” a press…
Sony’s upcoming smartphone lineup has made its first not-so-subtle appearance in the GSMA IMEI database, and its digital footprint tells us quite a bit, even if the company isn’t revealing anything.

Last year, it was revealed that Google is working on a new range of Android PCs powered by a new operating system called Aluminium OS, and a while back, we also learned that these PCs might ship with a barebones version of the Pixel Camera app. However, the actual PC itself might take a bit longer to arrive. As reported by The Verge, a detailed report around Google’s internal Project Aluminium suggests the Android-based PC operating system isn’t close to launch. While Google has talked about combining Android and ChromeOS into a more unified platform, court filings and internal timelines…
Spotify is making it easier to follow along with your favorite songs, even when you are offline or do not understand the language they are sung in. The company has announced a set of new lyric features that expand how lyrics work across the app, focusing on offline access, translations, and quicker previews while a song is playing. The update builds on Spotify’s existing lyrics experience, which is already widely used by listeners who like to read along or sing with a track.

Ahead of today’s Overwatch Spotlight 2026 event, I flew to Blizzard’s headquarters to go hands-on with all of the updates and additional content coming in the first season of Reign of Talon, a year-long story arc that kicks off on February 10.

Additionally, the first-person shooter’s new sub-roles help to further distinguish its Tank, Damage, and Support heroes with new passive buffs that better align with their specific playstyle and class identity.The team is…
Well, the cat is officially out of the bag – not that it was ever really in the bag to begin with. In what has become a classic Google move, the tech giant seemingly got tired of the endless stream of leaks and just decided to post the phone itself. After weeks of blurry photos and spec sheet rumors, Google dropped a teaser video confirming that the Pixel 10A is real, it comes in a lovely powder blue, and preorders open on February 18. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? Visually, if you blinked, you might think you were…
In a series of short videos, Samsung has teased upgrades to the camera system on the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. Expected to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, the lineup should consist of the usual models. These include the vanilla Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26 Plus with a triple-rear camera system, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a quad-camera setup on the back. What’s even more interesting (read disappointing) is that the handsets are expected to ship with no major camera hardware upgrades. Despite that, the company is teasing better low-light video performance and improved clarity…
