Microsoft Scout Joins Your Teams Chats and Acts on Its Own
Microsoft used Build 2026 to introduce Scout, a personal work agent that does something its Copilot features mostly don’t: it acts without being asked. Rather than a sidebar you prompt, Microsoft Scout sits inside the tools people already live in — Teams and Outlook — and handles routine work on its own. ## What Microsoft… Continue reading

Claude Artifact Player Runs Claude Artifacts Locally on Mac
Claude’s Artifacts are handy while they live inside the chat, but the moment you want to save one, reopen it later, or show it like a real app, the flow gets awkward. Claude Artifact Player, a new Mac utility, fixes that by running those artifacts directly on your machine. ## What Claude Artifact Player does… Continue reading

Vaani Dubs Video Into 40+ Languages With Lip-Sync
Dubbing a video into another language usually means a studio, a slow turnaround, and a result where the mouth never matches the words. Vaani, an AI dubbing platform built for creators, broadcasters, and studios, aims to make that output broadcast-ready rather than just “done.” It translates and re-voices video into 40+ languages with cloned voices… Continue reading

Mina Meeting Assistant Talks and Works During Your Calls
Most AI meeting tools sit quietly and hand you notes afterward. Mina Meeting Assistant, which launched its 1.0 at the top of Product Hunt, is built to do the opposite — it participates while the call is still happening. Mina can speak during a meeting, pull context from your other tools, generate outputs, and push… Continue reading

Microsoft ASSERT Turns Plain-English Specs Into AI Agent Tests
Testing whether an AI agent actually behaves the way you intended has been one of the messier parts of shipping with LLMs. Microsoft ASSERT — Adaptive Spec-driven Scoring for Evaluation and Regression Testing, open-sourced in early June — tries to make that automatic. It’s an MIT-licensed framework that reads a plain-language description of how an… Continue reading

Taste-Skill is an open-source skill that stops AI coding agents from shipping generic frontends
AI coding agents have a tell: the frontends they generate all look the same — templated, safe, forgettable. Taste-Skill, an open-source project trending on GitHub, is a set of skill files that tries to fix that by giving agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex “good taste.” ## How it works It’s not a model… Continue reading

turbovec is a Rust vector index that fits 10M docs in 4GB and beats FAISS on speed
turbovec is an open-source vector index — the part a RAG system uses to find relevant chunks — written in Rust with Python bindings, and it’s trending hard this week. The pitch is brutal efficiency: a 10-million-document corpus that eats 31GB of RAM in a typical setup fits in about 4GB here, roughly 8x compression,… Continue reading

LoomVideo does unified video generation and editing at 5B parameters, not 13B
Most “unified” video models — ones that both generate and edit from mixed text, image, and video inputs — are heavy, 13B parameters or more, and they handle editing by concatenating the source video’s tokens, which doubles the sequence length and quadruples attention cost. LoomVideo, a new arXiv release from Peking University, aims for the… Continue reading

Lathe uses LLMs to teach you a new domain instead of doing the work for you
Most AI tools race to do the task for you. Lathe, a fresh Show HN project, is built on the opposite premise: use an LLM to actually teach you a technical topic, not skip past the learning. ## How it works You name a domain you want to learn, and Lathe generates a hands-on, source-backed… Continue reading

Google Labs’ Dreambeans turns your Gmail, Photos, and Calendar into a daily set of AI stories
Dreambeans, a new Google Labs experiment, is an anti-feed. Instead of an endless scroll, it assembles a small, finite set of personalized “stories” each morning from your own Google data — then stops. ## How it works With permission, it uses Google’s Personal Intelligence to pull from Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube, and Search history, and… Continue reading
