Gemini Spark now runs multi-step jobs on your Google Photos, and it can schedule them to repeat

Google has started making Google Photos available inside Gemini Spark, the mode of the Gemini apps that carries out a task instead of answering a question. One prompt can find photos, enhance copies of them, put them in a new album, and draft an email with the link. The same job can be attached to a schedule and left running in the background. It needs a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and a personal account rather than a work or school one, and the Photos part is limited to people 18 or over in the United States, in English.

Copilot can now approve a pull request, if an administrator lets it

GitHub added an approval assessment to every Copilot code review, and a separate setting that lets Copilot submit a real approval. That approval counts toward a repository's required-approvals rule, which means a machine can satisfy a gate that used to need a person. It is off by default and configurable at three levels, down to which file paths Copilot may sign off on. A second changelog entry the same day gives individual user budgets an expiry date.

Cursor Cloud Agents no longer need a repository before they can start

Until now a cloud agent needed a connected GitHub account before it could do anything. From August 27 it can be prompted straight away, with Cursor creating an Origin repository in the background and offering to save the work once the build stands.

GitHub Copilot moved into Slack and Microsoft Teams on the same day

Both shipped on August 21 in public preview. Mention @GitHub in a channel and the agent triages issues, investigates failures, writes changes in a cloud sandbox and opens a pull request, with the conversation attached. The interesting part is not the capability list, which is familiar, but the room it moved into: the place where work gets discussed rather than written.

Claude Code sessions can now message each other

Two open sessions can talk: Claude finds the others with ListAgents and sends a message through SendMessage, either because you asked or on its own when a change in one session affects the work in another. Only text Claude writes crosses over — never conversation history, never files. Since version 2.1.232 you can also address a session directly by typing @ followed by its name. The feature runs on macOS and Linux and needs version 2.1.224 or later, and /list-agents shows what is available. It pays off most when you keep the frontend and backend of the same project in separate sessions.
