📅 25 November 2025 — Corporate Assistants and Growing Criticism of AI Adoption

🤖 Slack launches testing of the new Slackbot

What’s new:
Slack is testing an updated Slackbot that can:

• search information across work channels,
• summarise discussions,
• create plans,
• generate task lists,
• analyse documents,
• act as a personal AI coordinator.

Why businesses need this:
This is no longer just a chatbot — it is a true digital assistant that reduces communication overhead and cuts information loss between channels.

 

⚠️ Open letter from Amazon employees

Summary:
Hundreds of Amazon employees publicly raised concerns about the risks of aggressive AI deployment at the company.

The letter highlights:

• environmental impact,
• increasing energy consumption,
• threats of job reduction,
• lack of transparency.

Why this matters:
As one of the world’s largest AI infrastructure investors, Amazon’s internal criticism signals to the entire industry that social risks are becoming a real factor.

 

📅 26 November 2025 — Agent-Based Environments and a Rethinking of Programming

🧩 Google Antigravity — a new “agent-first” IDE

Announcement: 18 November (gaining the most traction at the end of the month).

What it is:
Google introduced Antigravity, a development environment built around autonomous AI agents rather than traditional plugins. These agents can:

• write and edit code,
• debug projects,
• execute tasks independently,
• analyse large datasets or system architectures,
• maintain long-term context.

Technology: powered by Gemini 3 Pro.

Why this matters:

• it marks a shift from “AI suggestions for developers” to fully automated development;
• the IDE becomes a collaborator, not just an instrument.

 

📅 27 November 2025 — Microsoft Redefines the Role of Digital Assistants

🪄 The reimagined Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft presented a major Copilot update including:

• Real Talk — more natural, human-like responses;
• improved long-context memory;
• multi-user collaborative mode;
• built-in podcast generation;
• enhanced multimodality;
• a new visual avatar called Mico;
• integration of Copilot even into Samsung Smart TV 2025.

Strategic effect:
Microsoft is transforming Copilot into a universal interface layer for all devices — from PCs to televisions.

 

📅 28 November 2025 — “Local AI” Gadgets and Industry Trends

💻 Acer Swift Go 16 AI — testing local models

Testing included:
The laptop was tested with local versions of:

• Stable Diffusion,
• Gemma3,
• ChatGPT-like local models,
• various LLMs.

Result:
16 GB of RAM was not enough for comfortable local GenAI performance.
A more powerful configuration is required for stable operation.

What this means:
Local AI is a strong emerging trend, but hardware limitations still slow down mainstream adoption.

 

🧠 Strengthening role of AI assistants in programming

Recent analyses highlight:

• rapid growth in tools that help write code,
• new risks when AI proposes incorrect solutions,
• increasing influence of AI assistants such as Antigravity, Copilot and Cursor.

Conclusion:
The software development world is shifting toward an “AI-first approach.”

 

📅 29 November 2025 — The Day AI Became Even Smarter

🧬 Next-generation generative models are accelerating

Several advanced AI models became central topics across the tech community this week.

Top three “stars” of late November:

GPT-5.1
Improved reasoning, stable long-context performance, high-quality code generation and strong multimodality. Notably capable of acting as an agent performing task chains.

Claude Opus 4.5
Renowned for accuracy in analytical and computational tasks. Often chosen when output reliability is crucial.

Gemini 3 Pro
Excels in programming, data analysis and multimodal tasks. Faster response and enhanced agent tools attract engineering teams.

Why it matters:
These models are becoming so universal that they replace 5–6 separate tools:
text generation, coding, image creation, data analysis, assistance and workflow automation.

Outcome: a shift toward mega-models — universal, powerful, and flexible systems.

 

📅 29 November 2025 — Creative AI Tools Reach a New Level

🎨 Expansion of creative AI ecosystems

November reports from Western and Asian markets highlight a clear transition:

1. Universality
Creative AI platforms now support all at once:

• image generation,
• video creation,
• music composition,
• voice-over,
• website creation,
• design and layout.

What once required five different applications is now done within a single interface.

2. Accessibility
Tools became easier and more intuitive — small businesses, freelancers and marketers are shifting to AI pipelines, reducing content production from hours to minutes.

3. Professionalisation
Ecosystems provide presets, plugins, effects and training templates — enabling even beginners to create professional-grade content.

Conclusion:
Generative services are no longer niche — they are the standard creative infrastructure of 2025.

 

📅 30 November 2025 — Local AI Becomes a Trend

📡 Local models are gaining momentum

Users and developers are increasingly running AI models locally on their own devices.

Why interest is growing:

• higher data privacy,
• faster response without server delays,
• independence from pricing or connectivity,
• customisation for specific tasks.

But there are challenges:
Local execution requires substantial resources:

• high RAM,
• powerful GPUs,
• optimised weights.

That’s why, after testing laptops like the Acer Swift Go 16 AI, experts note that hardware is still slowing the local-AI revolution.

 

📅 30 November 2025 — Summing Up the Week

🧩 What it all means for the AI market

1️⃣ AI is becoming part of everyday workflows
Tools like Slackbot, Copilot and Antigravity show the shift from:
“AI gives advice” → “AI performs the task.”

AI:

• executes tasks,
• plans,
• responds,
• writes code,
• processes documents.

This marks the start of the era of integrated AI agents.

 

2️⃣ Investments are rising — especially in visual AI
The €258M raised by Black Forest Labs indicates global momentum behind powerful visual models — images, video and multimodal creation.

Visual AI is becoming a standalone industry.

 

3️⃣ Social and ethical questions are intensifying
The Amazon employee conversation demonstrates that society is beginning to reflect on:

• how quickly the job market is changing,
• how AI impacts energy consumption,
• how responsibly companies operate.

AI is developing faster than people can adapt.

 

4️⃣ 2026 will be the year of agent systems
Signals point to:

• Antigravity ⇒ autonomous programming
• Copilot ⇒ intelligent multimodal assistant
• Slackbot ⇒ workplace coordinator
• local LLMs ⇒ autonomous solutions

This is the transition from
“AI that answers” → “AI that acts.”
