đź§  AI Is Rebuilding Research, Healthcare, and Creative Work

Today in AI: Manus taps Similarweb traffic data, Google releases open medical models, and Apple Creator Studio enters the chat.

đź‘‹ Hello hello,

Today’s AI updates are the kind that genuinely make your day-to-day work easier. Manus is now pulling Similarweb traffic data directly into competitor research, Google released open medical models that can even run offline, and Apple teased Creator Studio for creators who want faster output without juggling ten different tools.

Let’s dig in.

🔥🔥🔥 Three big updates

Manus just launched its first data partnership with Similarweb, bringing web traffic intelligence directly into the product.

With it, Manus Pro users can access 12 months of web traffic history, benchmark competitors instantly, analyze marketing channels and traffic sources, and get regional traffic breakdowns — all powered by Similarweb’s digital intelligence.

Why it matters: Competitive research often involves switching between multiple tabs, relying on half-trustworthy estimates, and navigating through messy screenshots. This is a clean step toward “competitive analysis as a built-in feature,” not a separate job.

This is available now for all Manus Pro users.

Google Research announced new open medical AI models: MedGemma 1.5 and MedASR.

MedGemma 1.5 is small enough to run offline and improves performance on 3D imaging like CT and MRI. MedASR is a speech-to-text model built for medical dictation. Both are available on Hugging Face and Vertex AI.

This matters because it lowers the barrier to building healthcare-focused tools — especially workflows where connectivity, latency, or data handling constraints are non-negotiable. Offline capability is a big deal here.

Apple Creator Studio is being positioned as a home for creators of every kind — offering tools across video, music, imaging, and productivity, with intelligent features designed to speed up and elevate the work.

If this delivers, it’s another signal that “creative software” is shifting into “creative systems” — where intelligent features aren’t just add-ons, they shape the workflow itself.

For creators, this could mean less tool-hopping, faster iteration, and a more integrated pipeline from idea → output.

🔥🔥 Two pro tips worth knowing

1) đź§© Atlas (for the nerdiest nerds)

Atlas is an AI tool that feels built for people who love going deep, building systems, and fiddling until things work exactly right. If your brain lights up at the words “framework,” “infra,” or “workflow,” this one’s for you.

I built this map to spot coverage gaps and coffee shop density across downtown Toronto using Atlas. The best part? The tool generated all the underlying data too — which makes it ridiculously useful for research and building repeatable workflows.

2) 🎨 Superdesign Prompt Library (for insanely good AI-built websites)

Superdesign’s library is basically a swipe file of prompts for creating genuinely cool, modern-looking websites with AI. Great for inspiration, faster iterations, and stealing… respectfully.

Best for: designers, founders, and anyone prototyping landing pages fast.

🔥 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do With AI

This workflow demonstrates how to use Claude Code to build an interactive visual app that responds to your face and hands on camera — without starting from scratch.

1. Open Claude Code in VibeCode and describe the app you want in one detailed prompt.
2. Ask for MediaPipe-based tracking for hands (21 landmarks) and face mesh (468 landmarks).
3. Add a particle system (8,000–15,000 particles) that flows toward detected landmarks in real time.
4. Build a simple UI: camera enable screen, mode toggles, and basic keyboard shortcuts.
5. Add “delight features” like color themes and gesture-based switching to make it feel alive.
