DoorDash Enters Social Discovery With Zesty: DoorDash is testing a new AI-powered social app called Zesty that helps users discover local restaurants through personalized, prompt-based recommendations. The app pulls insights from across the web and social platforms, aiming to replace endless reviews, menus, and TikTok searches with one conversational experience. By adding social sharing, saved spots, and taste learning, DoorDash is signaling a bigger move beyond delivery and deeper into local discovery.

Adobe Turns Firefly Into a True AI Video Editor: Adobe is rolling out a major Firefly upgrade that lets users edit videos with precise text prompts instead of regenerating entire clips, while also adding third-party models like Runway, Topaz Astra, and Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.2. The update brings timeline-based editing, prompt-driven visual changes, higher-resolution upscaling, and broader model access as Adobe pushes Firefly to be a central hub for AI-powered video creation.

Google Tests an Email-Based AI Assistant for Daily Planning: Google is experimenting with a new Gemini-powered assistant called CC that delivers a daily “Your Day Ahead” email summarizing tasks, calendar events, and key updates from Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. Users can also email CC directly to add to-dos, save notes, search information, or train the assistant on their preferences. The test is currently limited to AI Pro and Ultra users in the U.S. and Canada, signaling Google’s continued push to make email a central hub for AI-driven productivity.

AI Explained

Workflows vs. AI Agents

What’s the difference and why it matters

AI gets confusing fast because everything gets labeled as “automation.” But workflows and AI agents are not the same thing. They solve different problems and show up at different stages of building smarter systems.

A workflow is a predefined sequence of steps that runs the same way every time.

Think:
If this happens → do that → then do this next.

Examples:

  • When someone fills out a form, add them to a list and send a welcome email

  • When a task is marked complete, create the next task automatically

  • When content is approved, schedule it and notify the team

Workflows are great because they:

  • Remove repetitive manual work

  • Create consistency

  • Save time once set up

But workflows do not think. They follow instructions exactly as written. No judgment. No flexibility.

What an AI Agent Is

An AI agent is different.

An agent is a decision-maker with permission to act. Instead of just following steps, it evaluates context and chooses what to do next.

Examples:

  • Reviewing incoming leads and deciding who is high priority

  • Reading an email and determining whether it needs a reply, follow-up, or can be archived

  • Looking at performance data and recommending changes before you ask

Agents don’t just run tasks. They decide which task matters. That’s the key shift.

The Simple Rule

Workflows execute.
Agents decide.

Google is rolling out a new beta that lets users hear live translations directly through their headphones, preserving tone, pacing, and speaker distinction to make multilingual conversations easier to follow. Alongside the rollout, Google is upgrading Translate with advanced Gemini-powered translations for more natural handling of slang and idioms, while also expanding built-in language learning tools with progress tracking and personalized feedback as it pushes the app closer to an all-in-one translation and learning platform.
