    Webex meetings are getting AI summaries to recap that meeting you forgot about.

    Cisco’s adding generative AI tools to help identify key points in the meeting, as well as automatically produce notes and action items. It’s similar to Microsoft’s Teams recap features powered by GPT, Zoom’s IQ, and Google’s summary feature for Meet.

    Apple shouts out Apollo for new macOS Sonoma widget feature.

    Last week, the creator of the third-party Reddit app Apollo spoke out about how Reddit’s push to monetize API access could cost him as much as $20 million per year and crush access for third-party developers. Today during Apple’s WWDC presentation, the company conspicuously showed the app on slides, and presenters even mentioned it by name.

    Apple’s VR/AR goggles might come with some important warning labels.

    Apple’s recent focus on accessibility in its devices includes features like the upcoming Personal Voice and Assistive Access mode. Now, according to Mark Gurman, Apple’s considering including warnings that people with specific health conditions should not buy or use the headset that it’s expected to reveal next week.

    That includes people with Meniere’s Disease, past traumatic brain injuries, post-concussion syndrome, migraines and vertigo.

    A similar notice (PDF) for Meta’s Quest notes the risk of seizures and possible interference with medical devices. In another tweet, Gurman said Apple could add additional warnings for ADHD, anxiety, pacemakers, pregnancy, and more.

    Pixel Watch pops off.

    Some owners of Google’s first go at a smartwatch are reporting the rear casing falling off — mostly after removing it from the magnetic charging puck.

    Android Police gathered several Reddit posts from the last couple of months showing how the backing falls off. We don’t really know how widespread the issue is, but it’s not the first smartwatch to pop off.

    Can an autonomous off-road Jeep provide “more fun, more adventure, more freedom?”

    Jeep owner Stellantis is working on a system that adds autonomy to its iconic SUV — and we’re not talking about highway driving... this is for 4x4 adventures.

    In a teaser video we see two Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe hybrids with camera-looking equipment. One moves sans a driver while the automaker’s head of AI holds an iPad like a real off-roader.
