1 - Google Photos + AI for your photos
Google Photos is bringing fun AI picture tools to iPhones and iPads in America and other countries. Before, only Android phones could use these tools.
What's New
iPhone and iPad users in the US can now use special AI picture makers.
You can take faces or things from your photos and put them in new AI-created backgrounds.
You can make many fun things like toy figures, cards for holidays, and photos that look professional.
People in India, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and more countries can use it too.
Some special tools only work if you can use Gemini AI in your area.
If you don't like how it looks, you can try making it again.
Main Idea: Google wants everyone with iPhones and iPads around the world to have fun making creative pictures with AI, not just Android users.
Vibe code with your voice
Vibe code by voice. Wispr Flow lets you dictate prompts, PRDs, bug reproductions, and code review notes directly in Cursor, Warp, or your editor of choice. Speak instructions and Flow will auto-tag file names, preserve variable names and inline identifiers, and format lists and steps for immediate pasting into GitHub, Jira, or Docs. That means less retyping, fewer copy and paste errors, and faster triage. Use voice to dictate prompts and directions inside Cursor or Warp and get developer-ready text with file name recognition and variable recognition built in. For deeper context and examples, see our Vibe Coding article on wisprflow.ai. Try Wispr Flow for engineers.

3 - Nano Banana Prompt: Translate Comics
Translate the text in the speech bubbles/captions from [Japanese/English] to [Chinese]. Seamless Cleaning : Erase the original text and perfectly fill the background (e.g., the white speech bubble or the colored image background). Style Matching : Render the translated Chinese text using a casual, handwritten-style font (or bold impact font for memes) that matches the aesthetic of the original image. Fit : Ensure the text fits naturally within the bubbles without overcrowding.4 - Latest AI News
