Nothing rolls out 'Essential Space' update for Phone 3: Check new features
Google Calendar integration
The standout feature in this update is the ability to sync Essential Space with Google Calendar. The integration allows AI-generated tasks and events to appear automatically in selected Google accounts. This brings tighter personalisation and streamlines scheduling, giving users greater control over their calendars directly from Essential Space.
Editable AI summaries and events
Essential Space now allows users to manually edit content generated by the AI. If the AI creates a task or schedules an event incorrectly, users can revise the details directly. Whether it's adjusting a meeting time or refining a task description, this new control adds much-needed reliability and flexibility to the AI assistant.
Enhanced Essential Recorder with Flip-to-Record
The Essential Recorder feature has also been upgraded. Users can now record conversations or meetings, with the AI generating a summary and transcript that can be edited and exported in formats such as image, PDF, or Markdown.
A new 'Flip-to-Record' function has been introduced as well. When the device is placed face down on a surface, it automatically begins recording, providing a discreet and intuitive way to capture audio.
Rollout and device compatibility
These features are currently available on the Nothing Phone 3, with support for the Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro expected to follow soon.
What is Essential Space
Essential Space is Nothing's on-device AI assistant built into Nothing OS. Accessed via a dedicated Essential Key, it acts as a second memory for users to capture voice notes, screenshots, and other content from across the device. The AI processes this input to create summaries, schedule tasks, and suggest actions, making it a central hub for daily productivity. First launched with the Phone 3a series, Essential Space continues to evolve with updates.

'Will AI replace lawyers? Law intern asks to use ChatGPT for witness analysis, gets hard copies instead
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to make inroads across industries, the legal profession is grappling with its place in traditional workflows. A recent viral post by senior advocate Sidharth Luthra on Twitter has sparked a fresh wave of debate.(AP) A recent viral post by senior advocate Sidharth Luthra on X has sparked a fresh wave of debate, after a law intern revealed he was prevented from using ChatGPT to analyse witness statements during an appeal case. The intern, who was assisting with legal work, had proposed using the AI tool to help process and interpret complex witness testimonies. However, his mentor reportedly dismissed the idea and instead handed him a stack of hard copies, telling him to rely on 'natural intelligence' over artificial intelligence. (Also Read: IT firm employee claims no salary hike for 3 years, wants to buy autorickshaw: 'Drive it before, after working hours') 'A law intern wanted to use Chat GPT to analyse witness statements for an appeal in my office. His mentor gave him hard copies to use natural Intelligence instead of artificial Intelligence [AI]!!!!,' Luthra wrote on X. The post caught fire on social media, with many users, including legal professionals, weighing in on what it says about the current attitude toward technology in law. How did X users react? 'AI can very well read and analyse hard copies as well. At times better than humans,' one user commented. 'Law practitioners must embrace AI, not oppose it.' Another responder shared a startling anecdote from the field, 'In some prominent police stations in Telugu states, officers are reportedly using ChatGPT to prepare remand copies. Statements were being recorded and processed by AI, all without the accused knowing. It was saving typing time and the sections were also accurate, they said.' Some took a more balanced view, noting the potential of AI when combined with human judgment. 'Natural intelligence combined with artificial intelligence is the way forward.' 'AI won't replace lawyers, but lawyers who use AI will replace those who don't, the next 5-7 years will prove this.' The exchange has since opened a wider conversation about how, and when, AI should be integrated into legal processes. While some see it as a threat to tradition, ethics, or even job security, others argue that AI tools like ChatGPT can streamline research, improve drafting accuracy, and eliminate repetitive tasks.
