    Google releases AI Edge Foresight, an offline meeting transcription app for macOS

    Google has released Google AI Edge Foresight, a free experimental note-taking app that transcribes meetings and audio files entirely offline on macOS using its on-device EmbeddingGemma 2 model. Like Granola and Wispr Flow, it summarizes meetings and turns shorthand bullet points into polished notes, and includes a built-in assistant that can answer questions about what you heard and reference local files you connect. Google says your files, meeting audio, and notes never leave your computer, and the app is currently only optimized for Macs with Apple Silicon.

    Google releases AI Edge Foresight, a local-first Granola competitor for Mac

    Google released Google AI Edge Foresight, a Mac AI note-taker that can work completely offline using the on-device EmbeddingGemma 2 model with 740 million parameters. The app captures meeting notes across apps, including in-person meetings, and offers a split-screen view for shorthand notes alongside AI-generated notes, plus a transcript view and a chat assistant powered by Gemma 4. Users can also upload PDFs, Google Docs, Microsoft Office formats, plain text, Markdown and web bookmarks to build a knowledge base that the app draws on to answer questions in real time. Google says the app is optimized for Apple Silicon and works fully offline, following an earlier experimental AI dictation tool from the same team.

    Google Labs launches Playground, an AI game-creation platform driven by text prompts

    Google Labs launched Playground, an AI-powered game-creation platform that lets users build browser-based games from simple text prompts without coding. Creators pick a genre such as trivia or racing, choose 2D or 3D and single-player or multiplayer, describe mechanics and visual style, and can upload visuals that the AI turns into game assets; finished games run on mobile and desktop, can stay private, be shared by link, or be published to the Explore gallery with leaderboards. Playground is initially available to users 18 and older in the U.S., with browsing and playing free while game generation uses a weekly token system that gives Google One AI subscribers higher limits, and Google says it plans to add Unity Spark integration in a future update.

    GitHub extends push protection to unstructured secrets with a ModernBERT classifier built with Microsoft Applied Sciences

    GitHub built a fine-tuned ModernBERT classifier with Microsoft Applied Sciences that assesses candidate secrets in context in under two milliseconds.

    Why it matters: GitHub's nine quarters of push data and the latency budget behind its new secret classifier show how prevention is being moved into the push path.
