Google launches an army of AI Tools 

Yesterday we mentioned Google's PaLM API announcement. However, due to a lack of a launch event much was missed out about the entire suite of announcements that Google made. 

In a series of blog posts, Google shared different aspects of its AI suite. First, Anthropic and Cohere (both of which are direct OpenAI competitors ) are powered by the Google Cloud platform. Additionally popular AI projects/products like  Midjourney and A21 Labs also use the Google Cloud infrastructure.

Along with this, there were some major updates announced for the Google Workspace with users now being able to generate entire drafts as well as set the tone and style of their writing. 

For businesses, Google also launched the Generative AI app builder, which can primarily be used to easily build chatbots and digital assistants. It's worth noting that all these tools are on restricted access and will initially only be opened up for developer testing.

Now that’s quite a host of announcements from Google, we just wish they had a live event announcing these. 

Adept raises $350 million in fresh funding

Nothing to see here, just another another massive funding round for another AI startup. Who says we are in a recession? Adept builds action based AI agents that work with users to automatically complete actions for them on the computer. Whether it’s searching for property prices, building spreadsheets, booking tickets etc, Adept’s AI agent will do the task for the user. Adept train’s its own proprietary models (ACT-1) and was originally founded by the lead author of the Transformers (Attention is all your need) paper, Ashish Vaswani and the Ex-VP of Engineering at OpenAI, David Luan. 

Around the industry -
