Pinterest adds AI style boards

Presented by

☕ Good morning,

Adobe just reminded everyone what real AI integration looks like, not a gimmick, but actual help where it matters.

Photoshop and Express now come with assistants that do the grunt work for you: masking, color tweaks, background removal, even full-on design generation. It’s the difference between AI as a sidekick and AI as a show-off.

_{—Here’s to the first sip.}

Adobe brings AI power to Photoshop and Express

Adobe dropped a bunch of new AI assistants for Photoshop and Express, and they’re actually built to help you create, not just chat.

In Express, there’s now a mode where you can type prompts to instantly generate images and designs, then switch back to normal editing whenever you want. It’s meant for students and creators who want to move fast but still stay in control of their edits.

Photoshop’s AI assistant sits in the sidebar and understands your layers, so it can help you auto-select objects, make masks, remove backgrounds, or tweak colors, all the boring, repetitive stuff that slows you down.

Adobe’s also working on something called Project Moonlight, which aims to connect different assistants across apps and even sync with your social channels to understand your creative style. And soon, they want Adobe Express to work directly inside ChatGPT, so you could design stuff right from a chat.

They’ve even added support for third-party AI models like Google Gemini 2.5 Flash and FLUX.1 Kontext for Photoshop’s generative fill.

Basically, Adobe’s turning its tools into creative partners smart enough to help, but still letting you stay in the driver’s seat.

TECH BARISTA
Pinterest adds AI style boards

Pinterest is taking your boards to the next level with AI-powered upgrades that make them feel more personal and useful. The new features, “Styled for you” and “Boards made for you,” are built to help you create outfits, discover trends, and shop directly from your saved Pins.

“Styled for you” is like having an AI fashion buddy, it mixes and matches your saved clothes and accessories to create new looks that actually fit your style. Tap on an item, and it’ll show you AI-recommended pieces to complete the outfit.

Then there’s “Boards made for you,” which automatically curates personalized boards full of trending outfits, weekly inspo, and shoppable picks based on what you save and engage with. It’s rolling out first in the U.S. and Canada over the next few months.

Pinterest’s goal is pretty clear it wants to move from being just a place to save ideas to being your AI-powered shopping assistant. Alongside that, new tabs like “Make It Yours” and “More Ideas” will recommend products or related Pins across fashion, home decor, recipes, and more.

The company’s also being careful with AI content, they’re labeling AI-generated images and giving users control over how much AI content they see.

GADGETS BARISTA
WhatsApp adds per-chat storage control

WhatsApp’s finally working on something we’ve all needed per-chat storage control. Basically, you’ll be able to see exactly how much space each conversation takes up on your phone and clean it up right from the chat info page.

In the latest beta, there’s a new “Manage Storage” option under each chat. It shows a gallery-style breakdown of all the photos, videos, and files shared in that chat, along with how much space they’re using. So instead of going into Settings and scrolling through everything at once, you can just deal with the one chat that’s clogging up your storage.

It’s a small change but a super practical one, especially if you’re in a few meme-heavy or video-spamming group chats. No launch date yet, but this update is going to make cleaning up WhatsApp a lot less painful.

STARTUP BAR
Mem0 gives AI a memory that never forgets

Taranjeet Singh has built and failed with multiple startups, but his latest one, Mem0, feels like the big one. The idea’s simple AI models forget everything once a chat ends, but humans don’t. Mem0 fixes that by giving AI a kind of memory passport that sticks with you across apps, platforms, and devices.

The startup launched in January 2024 and has already raised $24 million Series A funding, backed by big names like Basis Set Ventures, Y Combinator, and founders from HubSpot, GitHub, and Datadog. What started as an open-source tool called LMCache has blown up. Now it’s got 41K GitHub stars, 13 million downloads, and powers over 180 million API calls every quarter. It’s even the exclusive memory provider for AWS’s new Agent SDK.

Mem0 basically lets developers give AI long-term memory. It’s model-agnostic, so it works with OpenAI, Anthropic, or any open-source LLM. Think therapy bots that remember your last chat or AI assistants that actually know your habits and preferences.

The inspiration came when Singh’s earlier meditation app went viral, but users kept saying the same thing “It doesn’t remember me.” That feedback led to Mem0.

Now, with AI getting smarter but still forgetful, Singh wants Mem0 to become the memory layer for all AI, something open and portable like Plaid for memory.
