Otter, the AI-powered automated transcription service, is launching a trio of artificial intelligence agents that aim to provide quick assistance and boost productivity during calls and meetings. The most notable is the aptly named Otter Meeting Agent, a voice-activated meeting assistant that’s capable of using company data to answer questions and complete tasks.Otter says its new Meeting Agent is a “transformative evolution” of the existing AI meeting chatbot it already offers.

I’ve always admired Breitling watches – their bold designs, their aviation heritage, and their unapologetic wrist presence have earned them a place in our best watch guide. But, if I’m being honest, they’ve often been just a bit too large for my own wrist. That’s why the new Breitling Top Time B31 has me completely smitten.

First things first: the design. The Top Time has always been about breaking the mould, originally introduced…

Seriously FiiO, how do your engineers keep finding ways to squeeze more tech inside something as small as a pair of earphones? The new pinnacle of the firm’s in-ear monitor range has one dynamic driver, four balanced armature drivers and eight electrostatic drivers. Per side. And unlike most wired headphones, the FX17 was designed with modern smartphones in mind as well as high-end audio kit. FiiO calls it a Tribrid setup: the dynamic driver takes care of the bass, the BAs handle the mid-highs, and the electrostatics tackle the very high-end. That’s six more than the FiiO FA19 I was…

I’m not the type of person who assumes that the best tech for me is something that was just announced this week. Take, for example, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, which were introduced a little under three years ago. These over-the-ear, noise-canceling headphones, currently our pick for the best wireless headphones for most people, are now on sale at Target for $249.99 ($150 less than their usual $399.99) if you’re a member of the Target Circle (which is free to join). You can also grab them at Amazon and Best Buy for around $328, a discount of about $70. While the…

More recently, he was seen internally as X’s defacto head of engineering and product, especially with Musk recently focusing more of his time on xAI and DOGE. It’s unclear why Wang is departing now. Neither he nor a company spokesperson responded to a request for comment in time for…

Apple’s release candidate for watchOS 11.4 came out today, providing an early look at some new features coming to the Apple Watch in the next few weeks. The OS update has some bug fixes, but more notably, it makes a change to the Apple Watch’s Silent Mode, allowing alarms to be heard while everything else is silenced.Currently, with Silent Mode activated, the Apple Watch only delivers alerts to users through haptic vibrations.
