Google Gemini Gets Faster, Microsoft Copilot Browses, and Anthropic's Record Growth

In this episode, we discuss Google speeding up Gemini for smart home commands, a new quantitative analysis feature in Google Forms powered by Gemini, Microsoft testing a built-in browser for Copilot, and Anthropic reporting record-breaking Claude sign-ups. Google's Gemini for Home update drastically reduces latency for smart home device control while improving room-level targeting, and Gemini in Google Forms now turns open-ended survey responses into structured quantitative insights across Workspace tiers. Microsoft is testing a Copilot sidepane browser that lets the assistant access webpage context directly, moving toward agentic browsing. Meanwhile, Anthropic says Claude business subscriptions have quadrupled and daily sign-up records keep breaking, with growth momentum potentially linked to the company's high-profile Pentagon contract disputes reinforcing trust around AI governance.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
