Missed yesterday’s send? No worries—we brewed an extra-strong triple-shot for you today. Three fresh tools, three bite-size tips, three headlines that could reshape your roadmap. Sip, skim, share.

🚀 Three tools to try

• Copilot Vision (Windows 11)
Ask your PC “What am I looking at?” and it now answers. The new Vision update lets Copilot see whatever’s on your screen, then fix, summarize, or explain it, no window-hopping required. Just tap Win + C, hit the little glasses icon, and talk to your desktop.

• Uma AI Work Agent (Upwork)
Upwork’s “mindful AI” just leveled up from sidekick to full-service hiring agent. Uma now auto-interviews candidates, drafts meeting recaps, and, according to Upwork, boosts successful matches for high-value projects by 8 percent. Less screening, more signing.

• Cequence AI Gateway
Dreaming of agentic AI that connects to your apps without spraying data everywhere? AI Gateway snaps in front of your APIs, gives agents-controlled access, and enforces policy in real time, so innovation moves fast while compliance stays chill.

💡 Three tips to use

  1. Send ChatGPT Agent to do your grunt work. Toggle agent mode and hand it a multi-step ask like “pull last quarter’s sales, build slides, and draft talking points.” It clicks, types, and emails you the finished deck while you grab coffee.

  2. Let Copilot Vision read the room (er, screen). Stuck in a monster spreadsheet? Share your desktop with Copilot, then ask plain-English questions, “Highlight the rows with negative margin” and watch it coach you live.

  3. Ship snappier AI features with Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite. Google just took this lightweight model GA on Vertex AI; it cranks out near-instant summaries and batch predictions, perfect when you need real-time answers but not real-time GPU bills.

🗞️ Three headlines to watch

  • Alibaba open-sources Qwen3-Coder. The new model claims GPT-4-level code chops and is free to fork, meaning more dev teams might embed advanced coding brains minus the vendor lock-in.

  • AWS throws another $100 million at its Generative AI Innovation Center. Expect faster Bedrock AgentCore rollouts and lots more “agentic AI” success stories on customer slides.

  • Aqua Security launches a Secure AI Advisory Program. CISOs from big brands will help shape runtime guardrails for AI workloads, watch this space for emerging “safe-by-design” benchmarks.

That’s your triple-shot. Forward it to a friend, automate something fun, and we’ll catch you next Tech Tip Twosday. ☕️🚀
