👑 The new king in AI town

/Chatbot /Benchmark /Productivity

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk just dropped the mic with Grok 4, and honestly, the benchmarks are making everyone else sweat. xAI claims their latest model outperforms both OpenAI's o3 and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro, scoring 15.9% on the ARC-AGI benchmark - nearly double the next best model.

"With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions," Musk said during Wednesday's livestream. Classic Elon confidence, but this time the numbers seem to back it up.

The catch? If you want the full power of "SuperGrok Heavy," you'll need to shell out +-R6,000 per month. That's premium pricing for premium performance - and honestly, it might be worth it if you're doing serious AI work, but otherwise stick to Gemini 2.5 pro, the second-best model in the world that you can use for free.

For more information see XAi’s blog post on the release of Grok 4.

Real-life use case: Advanced research, complex problem-solving, PhD level problem-solving.

🌐 Enter Perplexity’s Comet… The browser wars are heating up (and Google should be worried)

/Browsing /Productivity /Integration

Plot Twist: The future of browsing isn't just about speed anymore - it's about intelligence.

Perplexity just launched Comet, their first AI-powered browser that doesn't just surf the web, it understands it. Think email summaries, automatic tab management, and web navigation that actually makes sense.

But wait, there's more! Rumour has it OpenAI is cooking up its own Chromium-based browser with deep ChatGPT integration. Suddenly, we're not just talking about better bookmarks - we're looking at a complete rethink of how we interact with the internet.

This isn't just a tech battle; it's a war for the future of search, attention and advertising. Google Chrome has ruled the web for over a decade, but AI-native browsers might just be the disruption we didn't see coming.

If this section piqued your curiosity, see the release video - it’s some seriously impressive stuff 👏

Real-life use case: Browsing that actually helps you get work done instead of falling down rabbit holes.

💼 Microsoft's Office Suite might just get a serious challenger

/Presentations /Workbooks /Automation

Remember when Microsoft promised Copilot would revolutionise office work? Well, Context just raised $11 million to deliver on that promise. Founded by Joseph Semrai (a Thiel Fellow who left Stanford at 20), this isn't another "AI add-on" to existing software - it's built from scratch as the world's first truly AI-native office suite.

The secret sauce? Their proprietary Context Engine, inspired by the human hippocampus, can process over 50 million tokens without breaking a sweat. Need a quarterly sales forecast deck? Just feed it your raw sales data and watch it generate the full presentation with charts and narrative in minutes. Legal teams are drafting contracts by pulling from vast knowledge bases, while consulting firms are cranking out client deliverables that used to take days.

The killer feature? It connects to over 300 enterprise tools (Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Slack, etc.) while keeping your data secure on-premise with Qualcomm Snapdragon NPUs. Plus, there's a free tier so you can test-drive it without commitment.

With 60,000+ people on the waitlist, Context might just be the productivity revolution we've been waiting for - and you can try it yourself right now.

Real-life use case: Create this quarter's sales forecast deck by feeding in raw data, or let AI draft your next client presentation while you focus on strategy.

💡 Curiosity Corner

In this section, we aim to spotlight an incredible AI tool or use case and guide you on how you can try it.

This week's challenge: Create your own Wimbledon recap podcast using GenSpark 🎾

GenSpark just launched their AiPods feature. With tennis season in full swing, this year's Wimbledon has been absolutely wild with upsets that nobody saw coming. Instead of scrolling through endless sports websites or sitting through lengthy match highlights, what if you could get a personalised podcast summary of all the drama in just a few minutes?

Enter GenSpark, the AI super agent that can research, analyse, and create content faster than you can say "15-love". Here's how to become your own sports broadcaster:

  1. Go to the GenSpark website and create a free account using your Google sign-in

  2. Navigate to the AI Pods section (this is where the magic happens)

  3. Paste this prompt and watch the AI work its magic:

Create a short (3-4 minutes) podcast episode summarising the biggest upsets and most exciting matches from the 2025 Wimbledon tournament. Include player reactions, key statistics, and what these results mean for the tennis world. Make it engaging and conversational, like you're chatting with a friend who missed all the action.
  1. Go grab yourself some strawberries and cream 🍓 (it's tradition, after all)

  2. Return in a few minutes to your personalised Wimbledon podcast, complete with AI-generated insights and commentary

This might be a niche use case, but think about the power of creating personalised learning podcasts, meeting briefs and more.

📜 AI Dictionary

AI is full of jargon, and we’re here to decode it. Each week, we’ll give you a plain-English definition of a buzzy term you’ve probably seen (but never fully understood).

AI-Native - adjective

Software built from scratch with AI as the core foundation, not just bolted on as an afterthought. It's the difference between a horse with a motor attached and an actual car - fundamentally different design philosophy that unlocks completely new capabilities.

Weird & Wonderful

In this section, we aim to spotlight something weird & wonderful in the world of AI.

This week: The $299 robot that wants to live on your desk

Meet Reachy Mini, the most adorable AI companion you never knew you needed. Hugging Face (yes, the same folks behind the AI models you use daily) have teamed up with Pollen Robotics to launch this 11-inch open-source robot that's basically a desktop pet with serious coding chops.

At $299 for the lite version or $449 for the wireless model, Reachy Mini isn't just cute - it's fully programmable in Python (with JavaScript and Scratch coming soon). Think of it as the perfect coding buddy that can help you test AI applications, learn robotics, or just add some personality to your workspace.

If you want to learn how to develop robotics applications or you just want to impress your friends at a braai, it might be worth to wait on buying yourself the latest iPhone and buy yourself a Reachy.

If we buy one, you can bet that we’ll call him Reachy McCaw 😉
