    Looking at MM1, ReALM, and layer retrieval papers from Apple, my guess is that Siri will be locally run and Gemini/ChatGPT will be for something entirely else

      I don’t think they can do this because recording a call without the other party’s consent is a crime in certain states. I hear what you’re saying though. I would like this ability also

      I feel you. But for me is a personal thing.
      My parents are getting old and I feel like every call I have with them could be the last.
      I just want to have some memories. I’m even considering moving to android because of the feature.

    Bridget’s reporting always leaves a lot to be desired. Your video’s title is about the AI app store when this video is actually a summary of all ios 18 rumors

    This qualifies as a clickbait at best, cheap reporting by an amateur youtuber at worst

    You call the segment one more thing but there are no surprises. We’ve known about everything you’re talking about for weeks

    Stupid

    Multiple Tasks with One Spoken Request…. that hints towards what I’m interested in. A Siri that can better understand what I want and knows how to use my phone and apps to accomplish that, even if it’s not a specific “command” that it’s trained to understand. Here’s a random example.. tonight my mom let us know that her phone wasn’t making audible noises when she received alerts for messages from Facebook Messenger. She wanted them on. We, her kids, started going into her settings and finding the notification settings for Messenger, and asking her many questions about what kind of noise she wanted, etc. Imagine if my mom could’ve just asked Siri to help her fix that, and Siri would prompt her with the various suggestions for noises. It’s a random example, but if the system worked well enough, even I would probably opt to ask Siri instead of delving into the settings menu. It would be even better if I could plan my day with Siri and everything from reminders to calendar to maps and other apps would all be incorporated to help me accomplish my goals without me having to individually open the apps and tell maps to “go” etc. What if Siri knew specifically when to open maps in the background and gave me traffic tips and directions right when I needed them. These are the kinds of things I want.

    Well if people buy and want to buy fall behind Apple then what can you do, you can’t blame Apple. Come on people think critically and work on your sincerity. The Govt suing Apple is just a very good business promotion for Apple which is clearly planned by Apple. Now, Govt is saying Apple is “so good and advanced” that others can’t do business so Apple has to do something about not being better than others. lol.

    Hello sister! This comment might be an odd one for you but it’s highly important for all the readers. Dear sister, God(Allah) is one Muhammad(SAW) is the last messenger of God (Allah).  Jesus may God be pleased with him is the messenger of God. There’s not a single verse of any version of a Bible where Jesus himself said, I’m the God, worship me.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
