Google's Discover feed may be getting an AI feature no one asked for

Joe Maring / Android Authority
TL;DR Google is testing AI summaries for articles in the Discover feed.
Like AI overviews in Google Search, Discover feed summaries combine information from multiple sources instead of just referencing one.
Google is also testing a new button to bookmark articles that can be revisited later.
Of late, Google has been experimenting with multiple ways to make its AI applications more visible, especially to users who have steered clear of Gemini so far. After rolling out AI overviews in Search widely and experimenting with the AI Mode in the US and India, Google is adding another AI experience that prevents you from clicking links.
Google is now working to show AI-generated text-based summaries on articles in your Discover feed. This follows the company's previous experiment with audio summaries of your daily feed of articles.
These summaries could replace the publisher's name and logo and provide related information on the topic from multiple sources, rather than relying solely on one. This change is reflected by logos of multiple publishers stacked on top of each other, as seen by 9to5Google, while a button seen placed adjacent to the stack of logos should reveal a list of all the sources. Meanwhile, the image and the headline are still sourced from the top article in the list.
Based on the screenshots we see, only the first three lines of the summaries are visible initially, and the rest can be revealed by tapping the 'See More' button. Not all articles in the Discover feed are accompanied by AI summaries, but only for those labelled 'Trending,' and we expect to learn more about the criteria when the feature is tested more widely. In addition to links with text, 9to5Google also spotted AI summaries being tested for videos that appear in the Discover feed.
Besides article summaries, a new bookmark button is also being tested, and it should help save articles for reading later. The new icon appears alongside the existing heart-shaped icon that you can press to inform Google's algorithm to show similar stories. As per 9to5Google, all bookmarked articles can be viewed later in the Google Discover feed's 'Activity' tab, which currently stores your browsing history and other bookmarks from Google Search.
Alongside Android, Google is reportedly also testing AI summaries on iOS. However, the changes are not tied to a specific version of the Google app and may take a while before being rolled out to a broader audience.

Joby Aviation Stock Soars to an All-Time High: My Prediction for What Comes Next

Key Points Joby Aviation stock is soaring on optimism for its electric air taxi network. The company is aiming to ramp up manufacturing and finish its FAA certification. The stock trades at an expensive price versus any reasonable expectations for future revenue. 10 stocks we like better than Joby Aviation › Nobody enjoys sitting in traffic. And yet, the average American will sit in over two weeks of traffic each year. One company believes it has paved a way to help alleviate the traffic pressure in cities around the globe: Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY). It is manufacturing and testing electric air taxis, which can go point-to-point over cities more quietly than traditional helicopters, saving people time and frustration. Joby's air taxis are not operational yet, but the stock recently burst through to an all-time high of $17.50 a share on investor enthusiasm for its manufacturing progress and partnerships with large transportation players. It now has a market cap of $14.8 billion even though it generates zero dollars in revenue. Here's my prediction for what comes next with Joby Aviation stock. Betting big on air taxis Utilizing electric motor technology and innovations in aerodynamics, Joby Aviation has created a vertical takeoff vehicle that is quiet enough to leave from residential neighborhoods. It is manned by a pilot, can fit four riders, and has a top speed of 200 miles per hour. The company is planning to set up point-to-point networks in major cities such as New York, where customers will be able to hop from Manhattan directly to the airport, shaving off time that would have been spent sitting in traffic. The company is not officially operating its network yet, but it's working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the final stages of testing its aircraft. Multiple pilots have flown the Joby vehicle already, with its manufacturing facilities producing its fifth aircraft for pilots last quarter. Management recently announced an expansion of its factory in California, with plans to eventually produce 24 air taxis annually from this location. Multiple transportation companies have seen the promise in Joby Aviation. Toyota Motors has invested a total of $894 million in the company and is working directly with the company on manufacturing processes. Delta Air Lines is an investor, while Uber Technologies is a partner that will eventually add Joby flights to its ride-sharing application. Joby needs to get a lot of customer demand in order to get a return on its air taxi spending, which will require full operating schedules and high ticket prices. This is possible if its partners such as Uber and Delta drive customers to the upcoming service. The company is not just looking to expand in New York. It is working to add air taxis to Los Angeles, Dubai, and even Japan and the United Kingdom. Most major cities in the world have traffic issues and could see some (especially wealthier) citizens utilize this upcoming air taxi network. Aggressive spending and cash burn There is a lot of promise with Joby's air taxis, but the growth is all theoretical today. Joby does not generate any revenue, is still in the FAA certification process, and has manufactured only a few air taxis to date. Still, it is aggressively burning money on research, manufacturing, and overhead costs as it works to build up its vertically integrated factory network in the United States. In the first quarter of 2025, it spent $134 million on research and development. Over the last 12 months, free cash flow was negative $489 million. The company does have $813 million in cash and a $500 million commitment from Toyota, but this only gives it two to three years of cash burn at its current rate before it will need to raise more funds. My prediction for what comes next with Joby Aviation stock I like the idea of air taxi networks. As long as they can be operated safely, it is a path forward to help alleviate traffic on major highways in metro areas, and it looks like something people will pay up for in order to save time on the way to the airport or other societal hubs. My problem comes from Joby Aviation's market cap of $14.8 billion, making the stock wildly overvalued for a pre-revenue start-up. At its current manufacturing run-rate of 24 air taxis a year that could grow in the years to come, Joby Aviation may have 200 vehicles in operation by 2030. Assuming 20 flights per vehicle per day at $500 each split among the four passengers, that is $730 million in annual revenue for Joby Aviation. It is currently spending close to $500 million a year before generating any sales. There will be variable costs when its taxi network starts operating, along with more money spent to build each vehicle. It is unlikely that Joby Aviation will generate a profit by 2030 even if it can scale up its air taxi routes and charge an average of $500 per flight (which is more than the average round-trip airline ticket for comparable routes). Air taxis are an interesting idea, but that doesn't mean Joby Aviation is a buy with the stock trading at a market cap of $14.8 billion. I predict that pain is ahead for Joby Aviation shareholders for the rest of this decade, even if the company remains on track with its air taxi network buildout.

10 Tiny Habits That Make Or Break A Founding Team

The habits that define strong startup teams aren't flashy - they're consistent. Learn 10 small, ... More high-leverage rituals that early-stage founders use to build alignment, trust, and momentum. The success of an early-stage startup often comes down to a few key habits. Not vision. Not funding. Not product. Just the repeatable behaviors a team establishes in the first few months. These small patterns shape how decisions get made, how conflict is resolved, and how momentum builds or stalls. Here are ten habits that often fly under the radar but make a disproportionate difference. 1. Start Every Week With A Quick Priorities Check High-functioning teams get aligned often. A 10-minute Monday standup (async or live) focused solely on what matters most for the week helps avoid drift. It's not a status update. It's a coordination tool. Just one shared Google Doc or Slack thread each week can clarify who's pushing what forward. 2. Write Things Down Before Debating Them Discussions go faster and deeper when each person writes their thinking down first. Stripe famously used written memos for key decisions, helping to clarify logic and reduce groupthink. In small teams, this habit prevents dominant voices from steering conversations without scrutiny. 3. Close The Loop, Every Time It sounds basic, but closing the loop - on a bug report, a sales follow-up, or a customer message builds trust. Early teams that make this a reflex are more operationally tight. Users and teammates start to feel like action follows words. That makes everything else easier. 4. Default To Showing, Not Telling Instead of talking about a problem for 30 minutes, show a mockup, spreadsheet, or quick Loom video. A rough version beats a vague explanation. Founders at Figma and Superhuman made this a habit early - visual, concrete communication shortened feedback loops and made their teams feel faster. 5. End Each Week With A Lightweight Retro Even a 15-minute end-of-week reflection helps early teams improve. What worked? What didn't? What felt off? You don't need fancy tooling. Just capture a few bullet points and a single improvement to try next week. Tiny improvements compound faster than you'd think. 6. Discuss How You Communicate, Not Just What You're Communicating Most teams wait until things are tense to talk about how they talk. But tiny misalignments in communication style create friction early. Do you use Slack or email for decisions? Are async replies expected within hours or days? These patterns can quietly sabotage trust if they're not clarified early. You can check our Startup Communication & Negotiation Guide for a bit more in-depth insights into the importance of how to communicate effectively in the team and with outside stakeholders. 7. Name The Hard Stuff Out Loud It's tempting to avoid naming difficult truths like a strategy that's not working or a cofounder dynamic that's drifting. But high-trust teams normalize surfacing tension early. That doesn't mean oversharing. It just means saying the quiet part out loud, before it becomes resentment. 8. Keep The Calendar Sacred In the early days, teams often overbook meetings or swing to the other extreme and meet only when there's a fire. A consistent cadence, like for example a product review every Friday, a retro every two weeks, helps establish a rhythm. Rituals aren't bureaucracy. They're a defense against chaos. 9. Limit Who Touches What Too many founders try to "co-own" everything. But the strongest teams make clear calls on ownership. Who owns marketing copy? Who decides on design changes? Ownership creates clarity. Clarity reduces churn. It doesn't mean people stop collaborating - it just means someone decides. 10. Celebrate Progress Publicly (Even If It's Small) Momentum is fragile. Especially in a startup's first year. Teams that develop a habit of sharing wins, even small ones, build morale. This doesn't require parties or bonuses. A simple Slack thread or internal weekly email can remind everyone that forward motion is happening.
