SLACK
Slack AI: The new feature that lets you easily follow complex threads and catch up on what you missed
If you’ve missed out on a specific thread you’re involved in, you can use Slack AI to get a comprehensive overview of the discussion, and who contributed what. You can also get a summary of what’s been happening in channels.
You can choose the star icon at the top-right corner of a channel to have Slack AI summarize unread messages, messages from the last week, or messages from any period you want.
This can be very useful when you’ve been away for a while and need to catch up on work. Slack AI will also let you ask questions about a certain project you’re working on or about your work rules, as long as they’re discussed in Slack.
The AI tool will use “relevant messages” to update you on any topics you’re curious about, and can even help you understand acronyms used on your workplace’s Slack.
GOOGLE GEMINI
Google Gemini: The ultimate overview of the new AI platform for content generation
Google is launching Gemini, a flagship collection of generative AI models, apps and services. But Gemini has some strengths and weaknesses, as we found out in our informal review.
Gemini is Google’s long-awaited, next-gen GenAI model family, created by Google’s AI research labs DeepMind and Google Research. It has three versions:
Gemini Ultra, the main Gemini model.
Gemini Pro, a “light” Gemini model.
Gemini Nano, a smaller “compressed” model that runs on mobile devices like the Pixel 8 Pro.
MCW 2024
Our expectations for MWC 2024: The biggest mobile event of the year
Mobile World Congress 2024 is coming soon (February 26-29), and around 85,000 attendees are expected to join the event at the Fira de Barcelona. The show has become one of the most important mobile events of the year. Phone makers, telecoms and other tech vendors, journalists and analysts gather to talk about what the industry will look like in the next year.
MWC has had some rough years lately. In 2019, the show had 109,000 visitors — not as many as CES (which had ~175,000 that year), but still a lot for a more focused show. COVID affected the show badly for a few years (like everyone else).
The GSM Association (GMA) canceled the 2020 event after many big vendors pulled out. A smaller version of the event happened the next year, with a limit on attendance. 2022 saw a comeback to 60,000 attendees, and last year had 88,500. Organizers expect a similar number for this year’s event. The number is still lower than the show’s peak, but MWC is still a big show.
