Google debuts interactive charts in AI Mode to help make you a finance whiz
TL;DR Google has started testing a new AI Mode feature that generates interactive graphs for finance queries.
The feature makes it easy to compare and analyze information over time.
Interactive graphs in AI Mode are currently available as a Search Labs experiment.
Google debuted Search's AI Mode as a Labs experiment to select users earlier this year. At I/O, the company expanded availability to all US users, added Deep Search and Project Astra capabilities to the feature, and previewed some upcoming features, including AI Mode's ability to generate interactive graphics for complex datasets. Google has now started testing this feature for finance-related queries.
Google announced the new feature in a recent blog post, highlighting how AI Mode can help users compare and analyze financial information over a specific period with a custom-made interactive graph based on their query. As illustrated in the following clip, when asked to 'compare the stock performance of blue chip CPG companies in 2024,' AI Mode generates a stock price comparison graph and a table that dynamically updates the stock prices when you interact with the graph.
Users can also ask follow-up questions to get additional information or refine their queries. Google says the feature uses 'advanced models to understand the intent of the question, tap into real-time and historical information and intelligently determine how to present information to help you make sense of it.'
At the moment, the feature only works for finance queries related to stocks and mutual funds. However, Google will expand support for other topics in the future. If you wish to try it out, you can enable the experiment in Search Labs, but note that it's only available in the US.

iOS 26 will go back to the basics with four upgrades that you'll love
In just two days from now, Apple will take the stage at WWDC 2025 and showcase the big yearly upgrades for its entire software portfolio. I am quite excited about the platform-wide design update and a few functional changes to iPadOS, especially the one targeting a more macOS-like makeover for the iPad's software. Of course, analysts will be keenly watching for Apple's next moves with AI, but it seems some of the most dramatic features have been pushed into the next year. Apple can afford some of those delays, as long as the company serves enough meaningful updates to its user base. Apple won't exactly be running dry on AI, though. Recommended Videos The chatter about the company opening its small language models to developers has stirred quite some excitement in the community of app builders, and some caution, too. Ahead of the event, however, Bloomberg has shed some light on what we can expect from the company's announcement package next week, and it seems iOS 26 will hog the limelight this time around with a focus on the core in-house experiences. Here's a quick rundown of those rumored tweaks and why they matter to an average iPhone user: Phone I recently wrote about how Google and Android have taken a crucial lead over Apple and iPhones when it comes to user safety and security at a fundamental parameter — calling. Thanks to AI, Google has steadily added scam detection and anti-phishing tools within the pre-installed Phone app on Android phones. The likes of Samsung and OnePlus have also pushed AI within their respective dialer apps that use AI for call transcription, translation, and summarization. On Pixels, you get perks like call screening, Hold for Me, Call Notes, and Live Captions. At WWDC 2025, Apple might finally begin its catch-up journey. As per Bloomberg, the default Phone app pre-installed on iPhones is getting a few long-overdue feature updates. 'Apple is introducing a new view that combines favorite contacts, recent calls and voicemails into a single, scrollable window,' says the report. AI will also find a place within the app. Apple is reportedly adding live translation for phone calls. This is a feature that is already available on OnePlus and Samsung phones, so Apple isn't really doing something revolutionary, but the feature is still a savior. I am hoping that Apple does a better job making the translation process seamless, natural-sounding, and, if possible, reduces the latency. Camera There is a perception that I get to hear and see almost on a weekly basis. 'iPhones are just better for clicking pictures and taking videos.' It's not a misplaced notion, but not without its own nuances. Phones like the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra offer their own set of superior benefits and features. But there is one area where Apple clearly needs some work, and that's making the camera app a little more interactive and user-friendly. Over the years, Apple has added a whole bunch of advanced features such as LOG video capture and 120fps Dolby Vision. However, a healthy bunch of granular controls are hidden in the Settings app. While switching between two apps is a hassle in itself, the lack of a proper Pro mode and the inability to customize the camera feature UI — something you can do on Android phones — is a crucial miss. In iOS 26, Apple could finally address that glaring hole. As per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the iPhone's default Camera app is eyeing a revamp that focuses on simplicity. Separately, Jon Prosser, who's had a mixed track record with Apple leaks, claims that the using a system of expanding-collapsing boxes, Apple will consolidate the Photo and Video controls at the bottom of the screen. Using these boxes, users will be able to access the core tools available for each capture mode, alongside crucial adjustments such as exposure value. I am hoping that Apple finally offers a mode where more pro-level controls are available, somewhat like the excellent Kino app. Messages The situation with Apple's Messages app is not too different from the Phone app. Despite commanding a loyal user base worth millions of users, Apple hasn't given it many meaningful upgrades over the years. Android, on the other hand, has made steady progress with advanced AI-driven features in tow. At WWDC 2025, Apple is expected to announce a few upgrades headed to Messages. Users will finally be able to start polls in the app, a feature that has been available in competing communication apps for years. The company will also allow users to set custom backgrounds for their chats, following in the footsteps of Instagram DMs and WhatsApp. 'The backgrounds will sync between devices, including those of other users, meaning that you and the people you are chatting with have the same look,' says the Bloomberg report. On the more practical side of things, live translation is coming to the Messages app. This is a massive leap, especially for multilingual users. For a huge chunk of iPhone buyers in non-Western markets, chat apps are home to texts in English and multiple local languages. I deal with messages sent in at least three languages on a daily basis. With live translation coming into the picture, it would be extremely convenient to view the translated version without the hassle of switching back and forth across a translation app. I hope Apple also adds a voice translation facility to the whole stack, instead of focusing just on texts. Shortcuts The Shortcuts app on the iPhone is a powerful tool for setting up automations and routines. There's a whole community of ardent fans out there who build innovative shortcuts and share them publicly as iCloud links. But for an average iPhone user, creating these shortcuts is not an easy task due to the complicated workflow. Apple is expected to introduce an upgraded version of the Shortcuts app that will leverage AI models. 'The new version will let consumers create those actions using Apple Intelligence models,' says a Bloomberg report. I am not entirely sure, but if there's a text-to-shortcut approach involved, it would make the whole exercise a lot easier for users. Imagine telling Siri something like, 'Create a shortcut that automatically converts selected images into a PDF and sends it as an email.' Apple is expected to open its in-house AI models to developers for integrating within their apps, which could ultimately help users easily create cross-app shortcuts, as well. I am quite excited for this overhaul, and hope Apple creates something like the 'apps' system Google offers on Android phones, which allows Gemini to handle tasks across apps using natural language commands.

Success or strike out? A's a boon to some local business, others left waiting for major league momentum
Some West Sacramento businesses are booming, others not so much since A's arrival Some West Sacramento businesses are booming, others not so much since A's arrival Some West Sacramento businesses are booming, others not so much since A's arrival WEST SACRAMENTO – Before the Athletics' three-year relocation to Sutter Health Park, West Sacramento small businesses were pitching big ideas to cash in on the Major League momentum from the first day the move was announced. Now, two months into the season, some call it a success. Some call it a strikeout, still waiting on the business boom they were hoping for. How helpful the team has been for the business depends on who you ask. Drake's: The Barn, basically next-door neighbors with the A's, is hitting it out of the park. "This is very much our A's pre-game pop," said Bia Hoskins, general manager of Drake's, as she gestured to a packed house on Friday night, an hour before first pitch. Things have been busy at Drake's, where big league ball has brought big league business. "We've definitely seen an uptick in that walk-in traffic leading up to A's games. On a home week, we definitely plan ahead," said Hoskins. "We've benefited for sure from the team being here, people wanting a quick bite and drink before they head to the game. It's been really impactful for us and we've really enjoyed it." But other small businesses just blocks from the ballpark are still waiting for their major league moment. "We see a little uptick in business. But nothing, nothing like we anticipated," said Jeff "Fro" Davis, owner of Treehouse Cafe. Treehouse Cafe changed their hours and offerings to welcome an A's crowd. It hasn't materialized like Davis had hoped. "We had a full outside bar, live bands. But it didn't come to fruition like we thought. Right now, on weeknights, I have one cook and a bartender. And that's all we need," Davis said. Davis said he had to scale back the extra staffing he hired, but is still basing his hours around each A's home game. Live music now is limited to the weekend games. "People are barely walking down the street in front of us here. We are not seeing the impact like we thought we would," Davis said. "It depends on the brand. When the Yankees were in town, we were packed. I'm looking forward to the Giants coming to town Fourth of July weekend." About 15 minutes from the stadium in Southport, West Sac Sports Bar and Grill invested in renovations, trying to become a home base for A's fans away from the stadium. Unfortunately, former owner Shawn Mason says it didn't pay off. Mason tells CBS13 he sold his bar to a new owner last week after 11 years in business. He said it's because that expected business boom never came and an A's losing record hasn't helped. What's been a success for some has been a strikeout for others. "But, it is what it is, and we are just lucky to be a part of the scene," Davis said. So far this season, A's attendance has been good, not great. The average for ticketed fans is just over 10,000. But the A's have only put up four sellout crowds, the home opener versus the Chicago Cubs and the entire three-game series versus the New York Yankees. The lowest attended game of the season to date was on Tuesday, June 3, versus the Minnesota Twins, with 8,487 tickets sold.
