Amazon’s AI takeover

Inside Amazon’s OpenAI challenger

Yesterday, Amazon released Nova Act, an AI agent designed to handle web tasks like making reservations, filling forms, and automating workflows. Unlike OpenAI’s Operator or Anthropic’s Computer Use, Nova Act is a developer-first platform.

• Amazon is going all in on customization with developer-designed agents. Developers can build extensions, customize workflows, and mold the AI to fit specific use cases. 

• It’s still a head-to-head competition. Nova Act outperformed OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s Computer Use in browser control and automation tasks. That could be a sign that Amazon’s emphasis on modularity and extensibility is paying off.

Apple’s AI ‘doctor’ is coming for your health apps

Apple is reportedly working on Project Mulberry, an AI health agent designed to integrate with its Health app ecosystem. But it’s not just tracking steps—it’s predicting problems before they happen.

Apple’s ace is integration. With control over iPhones, Apple Watches, and the Health app, Apple’s building a seamless AI that uses device data to offer real-time, personalized health insights to an already enormous hardware and software user base. MyFitnessPal can’t compete with that level of ecosystem control. Apple’s AI could deliver insights tailored specifically to your health patterns, offering real-time advice that adapts as your data evolves.
