📦 Amazon deploys AI-powered glasses for delivery drivers

Amazon is giving its delivery drivers a futuristic upgrade — AI-powered smartglasses that project routes, package data, and delivery updates right into their field of view.

It’s part of the company’s growing push to blend AI + logistics for next-level efficiency.

🔍 What the Glasses Do

• 🗺️ Turn-by-turn navigation projected directly in view — no more glancing at phones

• 📦 Real-time package info & scan data with instant delivery confirmation

• ⚡ Vest-mounted controller with swappable batteries for all-day use

• 🚨 Emergency button for immediate help on the road

🔮 Coming Soon

Future versions will:

• ❌ Detect wrong-address drop-offs in real time

• 🐕 Identify hazards like pets or obstacles

• 🌙 Auto-adjust display brightness for low-light routes

🌏 Why It Matters

This isn’t sci-fi anymore — it’s augmented logistics in action.
By giving drivers AI-driven vision and instant data, Amazon aims to cut errors, boost delivery speed, and reshape last-mile operations.

But there’s a flip side:
👀 Workplace surveillance and digital dependency questions could define how far — and how fast — this tech spreads across industries.

🤖 Copilot Gets a Personality Glow-Up with ‘Mico’

Microsoft just gave Copilot a face — or rather, a friendly blob.
Meet Mico, the animated avatar bringing personality and warmth to your AI assistant.

Unveiled at Microsoft’s Fall Release Event, Mico arrives alongside a wave of new updates — from personalization to health and collaboration tools.

🪄 What’s New

• 🫧 Meet Mico: A shimmering orb that shifts colors with tone and emotion. Tap it repeatedly and — surprise! — it morphs into the nostalgic Clippy. 🧷

• 🧠 Memory & Personalization: Copilot now remembers context and adapts to you over time.

• 🔗 Connectors & Proactive Actions: Smarter data links and more hands-on assistance in your workflows.

• 👥 Groups Mode: Collaborate live with up to 32 people on AI tasks. Think brainstorming, editing, and planning — together.

• 🩺 Health Upgrades: Answers powered by Harvard Health, plus tools to help you find doctors that fit your needs.

• 🌐 Edge Boosts: New Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge adds Actions for multi-step automation and Journeys to pick up where you left off.

💡 Why It Matters

Microsoft’s bringing heart back to its AI — literally.
Mico’s playful design channels the spirit of Clippy, but this time with a modern AI twist.

These updates push Copilot further toward becoming a personalized, human-centered AI companion, marking Microsoft’s growing independence from its OpenAI roots.
