Much like Microsoft’s Build keynote, Google’s kickoff of its annual developer event was a sort of AI-palooza. Unless you’re done with AI, in which case it was probably a snoozefest, and I suggest you skip over to the next post. I’m not sure it’s a good long-term plan, though.

From flashy moonshots to real, actionable, useful features that customers will be able to take advantage of almost immediately, there was a little bit of everything. Including things that Apple users will also greatly benefit from.

Yesterday, Microsoft kicked off its annual developers conference with, unsurprisingly, a slew of AI features, models, and capabilities it is bringing to its own systems, many of which developers will also be able to leverage.
