Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
In iOS 26 developer beta 4, Apple has reactivated notification summaries for News & Entertainment apps—a feature previously disabled after some high-profile summary errors.
Upon opting in, users are greeted with red-text cautions: “Summarization may change the meaning of original headlines. Verify information.” Additionally, a beta label underscores that summaries may still contain errors.
This beta sharpens the Liquid Glass interface by increasing translucency and adding a dynamic tint to improve readability such as dimming backgrounds in Notification Center when scrolling.
The update introduces a setup screen that guides users through enabling AI summaries, along with a general “Welcome” screen, enhancing the onboarding experience.
A public beta of iOS 26 is expected later this month, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggesting around July 23 just in time for broader testing.

Insight: Amazon acquires Bee: a $50 AI-assisted wearable that passively listens to your life
Acquisition of Bee confirmed
Amazon is acquiring Bee, a San Francisco–based AI wearable startup, integrating their Fitbit‑style wristband tech into its product lineup.
Always‑on audio intelligence
The $49.99 Bee wristband listens continuously, transcribing conversations- including background media- to generate daily summaries, reminders, to‑do lists, and suggestions via the Bee app.
Privacy-preserving approach
Bee’s policy avoids storing raw audio. Amazon says it will maintain these privacy protections with added user controls like audio muting.
Renewed wearable push from Amazon
This marks Amazon’s comeback in wearables since discontinuing Halo in 2023. Bee’s tech likely joins Amazon Devices under Panos Panay’s leadership.
Team and terms
Financial terms are undisclosed; all Bee employees have been offered positions at Amazon. The acquisition hasn’t closed yet.

✍️ Writing Ad Copy with AI: A Quick How-To Guide
Whether you're selling shoes or software, crafting compelling ad copy is non-negotiable. But what if AI could do the heavy lifting? Here’s how to write ad copy with AI that actually converts.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Start With a Clear Prompt
AI needs direction. Instead of typing “write ad copy,” try:
“Write a 30-word Facebook ad for eco-friendly running shoes targeting 18-25-year-olds.”
2. Include Key Elements
Give AI these in your prompt:
Product name & USP (e.g., “plant-based foam soles”)
Target audience
Platform or tone (e.g., “Instagram Reel caption, fun and casual”)
3. Use the AIDA Formula
Guide the AI to follow a classic structure:
Attention – Hook them in
Interest – Tease the benefit
Desire – Show value or uniqueness
Action – End with a clear CTA
Example prompt:
“Use AIDA format to write a Google ad for a budgeting app for students.”
4. Generate Variants and Test
Ask for 3–5 variations of the same copy. Use them to A/B test and see which one performs best.
5. Refine with Human Oversight
Even the best AI drafts need polishing. Check for clarity, brand voice, and compliance with ad policies (especially on Facebook/Google).
💡 Bonus Prompt to Try:
“Write 3 punchy headlines and 2 short descriptions for a skincare product with natural ingredients, targeting Gen Z.”
🛠️ Tools you can use:
ChatGPT or Claude for writing
Copy.ai or Jasper for templates
Grammarly for polish
AdEspresso or Meta Ads Manager for testing copy performance
