1. Google Maps gets two Gemini-powered features — Ask Maps and Immersive Navigation: Ask Maps lets you ask GMaps nuanced, conversational questions like "Where can I charge my phone without waiting in a long coffee line?" — and get an answer with a personalized map to help visualize your options. The update also introduces Immersive Navigation, a redesigned driving experience with 3D views, more natural voice guidance, and real-time disruption alerts. The company calls Immersive Navigation the biggest update to Maps’ driving experience in a decade. Ask Maps is rolling out now in the U.S. and India. Watch Ask Maps in action.

2. Anthropic’s Claude now generates interactive charts and diagrams directly in chat to help answer questions: Anthropic launched a new beta feature that lets Claude generate interactive charts, diagrams, and visualizations directly inside the conversation. The AI automatically decides when a visual would be more helpful than text, but also responds to prompts like "draw this as a diagram." Examples include interactive compound interest calculators, clickable periodic tables, and structural engineering diagrams. Available now to all plans. Watch it in action.

3. Microsoft unveils Copilot Health, an AI tool that connects your medical records and wearable data into one coherent health story: Microsoft announced Copilot Health, an AI-powered tool inside the Copilot app that helps you make sense of your health by pulling in medical data from sources like visit summaries, medications, lab results, and your apps. The tool can pull data from over 50 wearable devices as well as 50,000 hospitals and providers. Microsoft says health data is siloed from the broader Copilot app with encryption and won't be used to train models. Watch Copilot Health in action or join the waitlist here.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Big Tech just promised that it won’t leave communities holding the electricity bill

The Ratepayer Pledge. Seven of America's biggest tech companies (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI) recently signed the "Ratepayer Protection Pledge” agreeing to shield Americans from electricity price hikes driven by data center energy demand. The goal: make sure local communities aren't stuck footing AI’s energy bill.

AI energy estimates. If current projections hold, US data centers will consume more electricity by 2030 than manufacturing aluminum, steel, cement, and chemicals combined. Meta’s Hyperion center in Louisiana alone will use roughly 2-3X the power that New Orleans uses in a year. And that’s just energy. A typical data center also drinks roughly 300K gallons per day — equivalent to 1,000 homes.

Meeting the demand. Over the next five years, renewable energy is expected to cover nearly half of AI’s energy demand. To help bridge the gap, Big Tech is turning to a source that provides 24/7 carbon-free power: nuclear energy. In the past year, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta have collectively signed deals for over 10GW of new nuclear capacity.

Sustainable innovation. 72% of Americans are at least somewhat concerned about AI's environmental impact. And for good reason. Grid capacity, water consumption, and the long-term burden on local communities are significant challenges to solve. But the pledges, nuclear deals, and renewable buildouts signal that Big Tech is aware of the problem — and putting money behind solving it.
