SpaceXSI just rolled out phone calls in Grok Bot, the company’s AI agent platform, which can now sit on hold, book appointments, and negotiate bills on U.S. numbers — with users legally responsible for every call the bot makes. If a rep asks something the bot can’t answer, users get a message mid-call and type a reply for it to pass along, all while following a live transcript.
Anthropic used Claude to uncover new clues about a 40-year-old mystery involving protein structures found in nearly every human cell. Researchers mapped the first 3D structure of a virus-derived vault, containing 96 protein copies versus 78 in human vaults. Claude searched roughly 15 billion predicted proteins for vault relatives in bacteria and other simple organisms.
SpaceX is no longer content beaming internet from orbit and now wants to be your phone company too. SpaceX signed a multiyear deal for Qualcomm's Dragonwing hardware and software to build tens of thousands of new cell sites for Starlink Mobile, its planned U.S. carrier to rival Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Rollout starts next year, and financial terms were not disclosed.

AI Tutorial
How to Create Personalized Storybooks with Gemini
With Gemini’s “Storybook” feature, you can generate 10-page stories, each with a short paragraph of text that Gemini can read aloud, along with an illustration.
In the prompt bar, ask Gemini to create a storybook about any topic. You can also upload your own photos and files if needed.
Examples:
Teach children through storytelling: “Create a storybook that teaches my 5-year-old the importance of being kind to others. Make the main character an elephant.” or “Create a story that explains the solar system to my 7-year-old.”
Bring their drawings to life: “This is my child’s drawing. Create a storybook that brings the characters and scenes in the drawing to life.”
Turn family photos into adventures: “Use these photos from our family trip to Paris to create a magical adventure story starring my family.”
You can also customize your story by asking Gemini to use specific art styles, such as ones inspired by claymation, anime, comics, and more.
Wait a few seconds for your storybook to be created. Press the Listen button to have the AI read it aloud (you can choose between higher- or lower-pitched voices). You can also share or download your storybook.
