Google Launches Disco GenTabs 🪩
Google Disco turns tabs into GenApps, Cursor adds drag-and-drop visual coding, and Shopify Winter ’26 drops 150+ AI features redefining agent-led commerce.
AI just dropped three fresh upgrades that push browsing, building, and commerce into a smarter, faster era. From AI-powered tabs to visual coding and agent-led ecommerce, here’s what’s new:
🧩 Google Disco — Tabs Turn Into Custom GenApps
Google’s experimental Disco transforms your open tabs into goal-driven “GenTabs” apps. No templates—just adaptive mini-apps for trips, meals, research, learning, or planning, built directly from your browsing context.
🖱️ Cursor Visual Editor — Build Websites by Pointing
Cursor blurs design and code with a drag-and-drop visual editor. Move elements, tweak React props, adjust styles, or just say “make this bigger”—agents update the code live, closing the gap between idea and UI.
🛍️ Shopify Winter ’26 — Agentic Commerce at Scale
Shopify rolls out 150+ AI features, from a smarter Sidekick to SimGym, which simulates millions of shoppers to predict conversions before launch. Add AI sales agents, dynamic storefronts, and deeper analytics—all built for growth.
AI isn’t just accelerating, it’s redesigning how we browse, build, and sell.
Google's Disco: AI Turns Tabs into Custom GenApps
Google's Labs.Disco revolutionizes web browsing with AI-powered discovery. This experimental project transforms open tabs into custom, interactive "GenTabs" apps tailored to user goals. No fixed templates—GenTabs adapt uniquely to your tabs and objectives, unlocking endless possibilities. Favorites include solar system explorers (visualizing planets from astronomy tabs), trip planners (itineraries from flight/hotel pages), meal planners (recipes from food sites), and garden designers (layouts from plant databases). Early demos showcase dynamic interfaces for education, travel, nutrition, and landscaping. Join the waitlist at labs.google/disco to test this fresh spin on the web. Perfect for AI enthusiasts seeking smarter browsing—ideal for researchers synthesizing tabs into insights or creators prototyping ideas. Disco hints at future AI-web integrations, blending context-aware generation with everyday tabs for productivity boosts.
Cursor's Visual Editor: Drag and Drop Website Builder
Cursor's Visual Editor transforms web development in the Cursor Browser by uniting web apps, codebases, and powerful editing tools in one seamless window. Drag-and-drop elements across the DOM to rearrange layouts—like swapping buttons, rotating sections, or testing grids—without context-switching, as agents automatically update the underlying code. Inspect and tweak React component props in the sidebar for instant state previews, fine-tune styles via interactive sliders, color pickers, and design tokens for flexbox, grids, and typography. Point at any interface element and prompt changes like "make this bigger," "turn red," or "swap order"—parallel agents execute live edits in seconds, closing the design-code divide. This elevates abstraction, connecting thought directly to code for faster UI prototyping, perfect for AI-savvy developers streamlining workflows in Cursor 2.2.
Shopify dropped new Winter “26 AI features”

Shopify's Winter '26 Edition unleashes a commerce renaissance with 150+ AI-powered updates across Sidekick, agentic tools, online stores, retail, marketing, checkout, operations, Shop app, B2B, finance, shipping, and developer features. Sidekick evolves into a smarter assistant generating custom ShopifyQL analytics reports, building customer segments from scratch, and automating workflows like theme tweaks. SimGym app (AI Research Preview) simulates millions of shopper interactions using billions of real purchase behaviors—test themes, redesigns, or navigation changes with virtual AI personas tuned to your store, predicting add-to-cart rates, cart value, and navigation impacts before live launches. Pair with Rollouts for A/B testing and scheduled releases. Agentic commerce enables AI chat sales; dynamic storefronts personalize products; Shop app adds deals feeds, shoppable videos, custom pages. Heatmaps, bot filters, and multi-store analytics boost insights. Ideal for merchants scaling efficiently—explore at shopify.com/editions/winter2026.
Hand Picked Video
In this video, we'll explore n8n, a powerful platform for building automated agent workflows.
Together, we'll build a practical example of an AI news aggregator that automatically fetches the latest AI news and posts updates to Discord. The video also explores n8n's extensive integration capabilities, its template library, and guides you through local deployment using Docker.

Paper of The Day
Paper establishes bijection between deterministic POMDP agents and one-input process functions (classical limit of higher-order quantum ops). Agent policy + memory update form a comb w that interacts with environments via link product. Dual view: physics (w as spacetime env), AI (w as agent). Extends to multi-agent via observation-independent dec-POMDPs for multi-input processes, enabling indefinite causal strategies. Bridges RL & quantum foundations for causal resources in AI.
