🧠 Skills, Superagents, and Browsers That Finally Pull Their Weight

Today in AI: personal tools get reusable, browsers do more on their own, and thinking work moves closer to home.

👋 Hello hello,

A lot of work gets repeated for no good reason.

Context gets lost. Tabs multiply. Good thinking disappears once the task is done. The updates below push in the opposite direction.

Let’s dig in.

🔥🔥🔥 Three big updates

Manus introduced Skills, which do exactly what the name suggests. If you have a session that works well, you can now save it and reuse it instead of starting from scratch next time.

Those Skills can be imported from the community or shared across your own workflows. Over time, Manus stops behaving like a general assistant and starts acting like a specialist you’ve trained yourself.

Instead of repeating context and instructions every time, your past work becomes something you can build on. Skills are available now for all Manus users.

Superagent, formerly known as DeepSky, is now part of Airtable.

Superagent is designed to take messy, high-level questions and transform them into clear, actionable outputs. Think reports, slide decks, or simple sites that are ready to share with leadership or clients.

Airtable already sits at the center of how many teams organize work. Adding Superagent on top means teams can move from raw information to finished material without having to hop between tools.

If your work often dies somewhere between “idea” and “presentable,” this combination is worth paying attention to.

Google rolled out a major update to Gemini inside Chrome, and it changes how the browser behaves day to day.

There’s now agentic auto-browsing that can handle both routine and multi-step tasks. Instead of opening ten tabs and clicking around, you can let it move through pages for you.

Image editing works directly in the browser through Nano Banana. Workspace tools like Gmail and Docs are more tightly connected, with in-line edits and better context sharing. A redesigned sidebar keeps everything accessible across tabs.

Chrome is slowly shifting from a passive window into something that actively helps you get through work faster.

🔥🔥 Two Tools Worth Trying

1. 🐣 Kuku

Kuku is built for people who want a simple place to think, plan, and keep track of what matters without turning it into a full productivity system.

It works well as a lightweight daily companion. You can sketch ideas, outline plans, and revisit thoughts without the overhead of complex setups or dashboards. If most tools feel bloated or distracting, Kuku is useful precisely because it stays small and focused.

2. 👯 Twin

Twin is designed for teams that want to work with shared context instead of isolated prompts.

It helps teams collaborate on the same problems, using a consistent knowledge base rather than everyone starting from zero. This makes it easier to reuse decisions, refine thinking, and keep work aligned across people.

I asked it to help me automate my social media content calendar, extract topics from a Google doc, and then add them to a Google Sheet content calendar with suggested publish dates across channels.

If your team already collaborates closely and wants tools to support that rhythm instead of disrupting it, Twin is a strong fit.

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

There’s a powerful idea forming around Obsidian and Claude Code. The short version is this: keep your data local, make it programmable, and let AI work on it privately.

Here’s the basic flow:

1. Store your notes, projects, and ideas locally in Obsidian using markdown.
2. Use Claude Code or similar tools to work directly on that local data.
3. Combine multiple file types, like notes, repos, and exports, into one context.
4. Encrypt sensitive data using a local crypto wallet if you want to share selectively.
5. Collaborate securely without pushing everything into centralized cloud tools.

The big idea is that personal data becomes easier to compute on and easier to protect at the same time. Local AI plus local files changes the tradeoff between privacy and power.
