How Google made it easy to solve biggest emails problem in Gmail

Google has made the 'unsubscribe' option more prominent in Gmail on both web and mobile platforms to make it easier for users to manage unwanted marketing emails. The unsubscribe button now shows up when hovering over emails, eliminating the frustration of having to find it at the bottom of each email. The move aims to improve user experience and prevent users from marking legitimate senders as spam, which could affect future email deliverability. The feature is available for Google Workspace customers, personal Google Accounts, and is rolling out gradually on Android devices.

Forget Chatbots. AI Agents Are the Future

Cognition AI, a startup, has developed an artificial intelligence program called Devin that can perform tasks typically done by software engineers. Devin not only generates code but also plans how to solve a problem, writes code, conducts testing, and implements it. The program has demonstrated its capabilities in handling various impressive tasks. However, the emergence of AI agents that can take action to solve problems also brings risks and potential failures. Google DeepMind is also developing AI agents, such as SIMA, which can perform complex tasks in video games and potentially be used outside of gaming applications.
