For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe-coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software.

Nearly three-quarters of teens have used AI companions, and half use them regularly, new research finds. Moreover, one-third turn to chatbots for social interactions.

Microsoft is rolling out an update to Copilot Vision for Windows Insiders that lets the AI tool see everything that’s on your screen. Previously, the tool was able to look at two apps at a time and connect the dots between the two, but with this change, it can look at your whole desktop or “any specific browser or app window,” Microsoft says.

A fake extension for the Cursor AI IDE code editor infected devices with remote access tools and infostealers, which, in one case, led to the theft of $500,000 in cryptocurrency from a Russian crypto developer.

Experienced software developers using AI code editors saw a 19% decrease in productivity, according to a new METR study.
