🧃 “Remove personal details before using free tools - use company-approved tools with DPAs for business use" - Annabel Pemberton, Assenteo CEO, on safe AI tool practice
Happy International Women’s Day!! I had the best time this past Thursday with over 70 ambitious women learning to build with AI (many for the first time!!). I left the night feeling inspired and determined to keep building these types of spaces. If anyone has any office space they are willing to lend out, please let me know!! And the film photos are currently developing, but can’t wait to share more on that soon.

So here's something I've been watching closely: Apple is finally about to give Siri a real AI upgrade.
For the last two years, Apple has been promising us a smarter Siri: one that can actually read your emails, understand what's on your screen, and take actions across your apps without you opening six different things. They first announced it at WWDC in 2024. Then it got delayed. And delayed again. And then they got sued for false advertising (!!) and settled a class-action lawsuit in December.
Plot twist: Apple partnered with Google to make it happen. They're paying roughly $1.5 billion a year to use Google's Gemini AI models to power the new Siri, running through Apple's Private Cloud Compute to keep your data private.
The update is expected to roll out with iOS 26.4 in the next few weeks, though Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported some features might slip to May or even September. (Shocker.)
🧃 Here's what I'm watching and why it matters:
The new Siri is supposed to do three things: Personal Context (pulling info from your notes, emails, and messages), On-Screen Awareness (completing tasks based on what's on your screen), and In-App Actions (controlling apps by voice without opening them).
Think: asking Siri "What time is Mom's flight?" and it actually checks your messages to find the answer. Or saying "Make this photo black and white and send it to Austin" and it does both steps without you lifting a finger.
This is exactly the kind of AI that makes life easier without you needing to learn a new tool. It's AI coming to you inside apps you already use. And if Apple gets it right, it could be the most seamless way non-technical people interact with AI on a daily basis.
If anyone has played around with Claude Code, you already know what this feels like. It can directly access files and apps on your laptop and take actions for you. Apple is essentially trying to bring that same kind of capability to your phone.
I'll be testing the beta the second it drops and sharing what actually works vs. what's still half-baked. Stay tuned.

States are racing to regulate AI — Oregon passed a chatbot safety bill this week, Vermont signed a law on AI in elections, and multiple states are pushing legislation on deepfakes and AI in health insurance. (source)
