⚡ The Neural Frontier’s weekly picks: 3 AI tools you should be using.

🤖 Apple displays the true power of AI with the release of Vision Pro

With a hefty $3500 price tag, alongside the promise of bringing “profound technology” to your doorstep, Apple might have broken the internet with the announcement of its AR/VR headset. Termed Vision Pro, this headset leverages the very best of AI and the Apple ecosystem we’ve—mostly😉—come to love.

What’s more, the ski goggle-like piece of technology blends your favorite digital content into the real world, fulfilling Apple’s promise to launch users into the era of “spatial computing.”

All this wouldn’t be possible without (yep, you probably guessed it) Apple’s powerful chipset. This headset can achieve real-time processing through a combination of the M2 Silicon chip and Apple’s new R1 chip—which helps to eliminate lag. To summarize the product’s offerings, CEO Tim Cook stated, “It’s a new type of computer that blends the virtual world with the real world.”

🤯 Instagram joins the AI race!

With the leaked AI-centric Instagram plans released by popular app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, enthusiasts have been getting pretty pumped about yet another AI feature coming to a social media platform.

The leaked image shows the possibility (yes, possibility; these changes haven’t been confirmed) of Instagram bringing AI bots 🤖 to your chats for “a more fun and engaging experience.” What’s more, users can choose from about 30 different personalities for their chatbot. This update also promises to help users craft more expressive messages and revamp their chat experience.

With this update, Instagram will join the list of major social media platforms—like Snapchat and TikTok—that have integrated AI features into their product offerings. And while some users might be scared of the rapid integration on the horizon, we’re particularly excited to see what the future has in store.

🧙 Asana plans to revolutionize workflows with AI.

One of the leaders in software-driven team collaboration, Asana, recently announced a host of AI-powered features that promise to be every project manager’s dream come true. Yep, you heard that right; Asana has finally joined the AI bandwagon. With the launch of Asana Intelligence, the platform seeks to accelerate workflows, streamline operations, and revitalize project management by leveraging AI’s capabilities.

But what exactly do these updates have to offer? Well, for one, writing assistance (yeah, you definitely saw that one coming 😉). In addition, users can expect self-optimizing workflows, a work organizer, instant summaries from meetings, and an “Ask Asana anything” feature.

To shed more light on the company’s roadmap, Dustin Moskovitz, Co-Founder, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Asana is an AI-first product now, and we intend to help customers maximize impact by weaving AI into the fabric of our architecture. We see a future where AI and human ingenuity combine to radically improve the lives of individuals and how teams work together, unleashing the full potential of every business and organization.”
