    Airbnb just bought its very own AI company, led by a Siri co-founder.

    CNBC reports Airbnb bought the “stealth mode” Gameplanner.AI for almost $200 million, and notes its plans to use generative AI for trip planning help.

    The article says Gameplanner.AI was founded in 2020 by former Siri co-founder Adam Cheyer, whose later work included co-founding Viv Labs, which Samsung bought to make Bixby.

    TikTok and Spotify, together at last.

    TikTok’s main feed now has an “add song” button that lets you save songs to your Spotify Liked Songs playlist. Spotify says both free and paid US and UK members will get it.

    If you don’t see it yet, make sure to update both apps and set Spotify as as your default streaming service in the TikTok app (Settings > Music).

    Update November 14th, 2023, 11:45AM ET: TechCrunch notes you can also pick Apple Music or Amazon Music.

    Rivian’s Georgia factory is officially approved.

    Fox 5 Atlanta reported on Thursday that the development authority of four nearby counties (two of which the approximately 1,978-acre plot straddles) has approved the deal.

    Last year, the Georgia state government gave Rivian a $1.5 billion tax incentive for the factory, which could eventually produce nearly half a million EVs every year.

    Backbeat, word is on this tweet, what’s this Instagram feature about?

    Instagram is working on... something. Alessandro Paluzzi, a Threads / X / Instagram sleuth, found a reference to a feature called My WonderWall. It’s behind a clipboard icon.

    That’s it. That’s all we know.

    Correction November 13th, 2023, 8:52AM ET: I originally called this a Threads feature, but It’s an Instagram feature. I regret the error.
