OpenAI is rolling out mobile access to Codex, its desktop AI tool that can write code and control applications on users' computers. The feature allows users to control Codex on their desktop from the ChatGPT iOS and Android apps, with real-time updates flowing back to mobile devices.

Google has completed a wide rollout of Ask Maps, a Gemini-powered conversational feature in Google Maps, to all users in the US and India as of this week. The feature answers complex, real-world location-based questions that traditional map search cannot handle, such as finding romantic date spots, scenic running routes, and personalized travel recommendations.

Google is testing a UI redesign for its Gemini app that moves the Temporary chat feature from a navigation drawer icon to a prominent button on the homepage. The change aims to make privacy-focused conversations more discoverable while maintaining Temporary chats' core privacy guarantee: conversations aren't stored in history, used for model training, or personalization.
