Figma partners with Anthropic to turn AI-generated code into editable designs

Figma is partnering with Anthropic and launching a feature called “Code to Canvas” that converts code generated in artificial intelligence tools like Claude Code into fully editable designs inside Figma.

On first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking Moltbook is just a knock-off of the hugely popular social network Reddit. But this new social network has one big difference – Moltbook is meant for AI, not humans. We mere homo sapiens are "welcome to observe" Moltbook's goings on, the company says, but we can't post anything.

Google’s Project Genie Tool Lets You Build Virtual Worlds for Training or Just Fun

Google DeepMind's new Project Genie AI tool is something a little different. Instead of answering chatbot prompts more (or even less) effectively than the last model, this one lets you craft an entire 3D world to explore with just a short text prompt.

With Apple’s new Creator Studio Pro, AI is a tool to aid creation, not replace it

Apple lays out a vision that suggests the productivity suite of the future is the one that focuses on the needs of creators — whether that’s filmmakers, musicians, artists, or anyone else enmeshed in a creative industry of some kind — and empowers them to be more efficient using AI. Apple sees AI as a tool that handles more of the basics and tedious tasks — like generating a slideshow for you to edit from your notes, extracting chord information from a song, searching across hours of video footage for the clip you need, changing the camera angle on your images, and more.
