🤖 Desk-based AI assistants move closer to daily use

CES 2026 showed how AI assistants are moving off screens and onto desks. Companies focused on small, physical companions rather than large robots. The goal is constant presence without clutter. 

The Decode:

1. Razer brings AI to the desk - Project Ava is Razer’s 5.5-inch holographic assistant built to sit on your desk. It watches your screen and responds in real time with gaming tips, problem-solving help, and general assistance.

Unlike a background app, Ava is designed to be seen. Its animated avatars, eye tracking, and facial expressions aim to make interactions feel more natural and engaging.

2. Vibe focuses on work - Vibe Bot targets office and meeting-room use, combining a smart webcam, voice assistant, and AI note-taker. It tracks speakers, records meetings, and supports live transcription.

Vibe Bot generates summaries and lets users query past conversations. The goal is to reduce note-taking and make meeting information easier to retrieve later.

Another signal of this shift is Loona’s DeskMate, which turns an iPhone into a rotating AI assistant while doubling as a charger. Together, these launches show desk AI is moving toward smaller, cheaper, and more practical companions that blend into daily work instead of demanding attention.

Is your back office leaking profit?

Scaling a brand or agency is ultimately a math problem. But when you hit $50k+ a month, the math gets messy. 

Most founders and executives spend 40% of their week on manual billing, inventory reconciliation, and chasing invoices. That is time stolen from the high-level strategy that actually drives your revenue.

True leverage isn't about working more hours; it is about moving to a fractional finance model. BELAY matches you with U.S.-based experts who offload the ledger and deliver the data-driven clarity you need to protect your margins.

🎬 How to Make a Full Cinematic Ad End-to-End with Claude Code (No Editing Skills)
Insights from Deedy via X

Claude Code is badly named. It’s not “for code”  it’s an orchestration brain that can plan, generate, and assemble an entire video automatically.

How this works

1. Describe the ad you want: Tell Claude the vibe, brand, duration, and number of shots. It writes the full script and shot list.

2. Let it orchestrate the tools: Claude coordinates:

• Veo 3 for cinematic visuals
• ElevenLabs for voiceover
• Music sourcing and timing
• ffmpeg to burn in text, logos, and final edits

3. Auto-assemble the final video: It downloads assets, syncs voice and music, stitches shots, and exports a finished ad, no timeline, no CapCut, no manual work.

The result: a 30-second, multi-shot, branded film made from scratch by instructions alone.

This isn’t “AI helps you edit.” This is AI directing, producing, and delivering the final cut.

🤖 Nvidia is building the operating system for physical AI 

At CES 2026, Nvidia laid out a clear vision for the future of robotics and autonomous systems. The company unveiled new models, simulation tools, and chips designed to move AI into the physical world. 

The Decode:

1.  A full stack for generalist robots - Nvidia released open foundation models like Cosmos and Isaac GR00T that let robots reason, plan, and act across many tasks. Tools like Isaac Lab-Arena and OSMO aim to standardize how robots are trained and deployed.

Nvidia also launched Jetson T4000, which brings high-performance, low-power compute to robots at the edge, enabling advanced on-device intelligence without relying entirely on the cloud. 

2. Rubin raises the performance ceiling - The new Rubin architecture replaces Blackwell with major gains in speed and efficiency. Nvidia says Rubin delivers 3.5× faster training and 5× faster inference, making large-scale AI workloads more viable.

With Alpamayo, Nvidia introduced open, chain-of-thought models that help vehicles reason through rare and complex driving scenarios. Developers can fine-tune the models and test them safely using simulation tools.

Nvidia is no longer just an AI hardware supplier. It’s assembling a full platform for robots, vehicles, and physical AI systems. If this ecosystem becomes the default, Nvidia could play the same foundational role for machines that Android plays for smartphones.
