The app world never stays still for long.
The second half of January brought its share of fresh updates and clever improvements, and we’ve been keeping an eye on them.
Time to recap what’s been happening so far this month.
Contents
Todoist now lets you add tasks just by talking
Todoist just launched Ramble, a new AI feature that lets you add tasks by speaking instead of typing. You tap the Ramble icon, talk naturally, and the app turns your voice into structured tasks with dates, priorities, projects, and even assignees, all in real time. You can also correct yourself mid sentence and the AI updates everything as you go.
It’s built for those moments when you think of something to do while you’re on the move. No typing, no notes app, no friction. Just talk, and Todoist handles the structure for you in the background.
Ramble is now available on iOS, Android, desktop, and web, with limited use on free plans and unlimited sessions on paid plans.

Claude gets interactive apps for work
Anthropic just launched interactive apps inside Claude, letting users connect real workplace tools directly into the chat. That includes apps like Slack, Canva, Figma, Box, and Clay, so you can message teams, edit designs, manage files, or work with data without leaving Claude.
It’s built for work flows, not just chatting. Instead of copying things between tools, Claude can now interact with them directly, making it feel more like a real workspace assistant than a chatbot.
The feature is available for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, with more integrations coming soon, including Salesforce.

Airtable launches Superagent, its first standalone AI agent
Airtable just introduced Superagent, its first independent product ever and a big move into AI agents. Instead of a single assistant doing tasks one by one, Superagent coordinates multiple specialized AI agents in parallel to research, analyze, and deliver interactive results, like market reports, competitive analysis, and business strategy dashboards.
It’s Airtable’s boldest shift yet toward becoming an AI-first company, with Superagent launching as a separate product and pricing expected to follow the usual AI SaaS model.

Google connects AI Overviews with AI Mode for real conversations in Search
Google is now letting users jump straight from AI Overviews into full AI Mode conversations. That means you can start with a quick AI summary in Search, then instantly ask follow-up questions and keep the context, turning search into an actual back-and-forth chat instead of a one-off answer.
At the same time, Google made Gemini 3 the default model for AI Overviews worldwide, making these summaries smarter, faster, and more conversational by default.

Asana adds smarter controls for portfolios, goals, and team messaging
Asana just rolled out a few updates focused on saving time and cutting noise. Teams can now duplicate portfolios, so instead of rebuilding structures and views from scratch, you can reuse existing setups and move faster.
Goal management also gets cleaner: members can now control goal notifications, choosing when invites trigger alerts and whether status updates and comments notify them by default. Less spam, more signal.
For larger orgs, admins can now restrict who can message teams, limiting announcements to team admins and keeping channels focused instead of flooded.
