Google has entered the AI meeting notes space with a new app called AI Edge Foresight, taking direct aim at Granola. What sets it apart is that it runs entirely on-device — no cloud connection required — handling transcription, note generation, and follow-up questions locally. That's a meaningful privacy trade-off worth watching as this category heats up.
On the security front, CrowdStrike researchers investigating cyberattacks on South Korean financial institutions stumbled onto something unusual inside exposed AI session logs — what appears to be a hacker's own resume. The suspect, identified only as YY, listed a Chinese university and a location in Guangdong province. It's a striking reminder that AI tools leave trails, and attackers are not immune to their own operational mistakes.
And for developers looking to dig into UK corporate data, a new tool called Registrum is offering a hosted MCP endpoint that lets anyone query Companies House information through Claude or similar AI clients — no API key, no signup. Ask who sits on a company's board, what else they run, and the answers come back conversationally. Simple, but genuinely useful for due diligence work.
