As first lady, Melania Trump is currently promoting opportunities for foster children, arguing for the eradication of online bullying, and often traveling to military bases in support of soldiers and their families.

Now, Mrs. Trump is also into robots, and his involvement with a humanoid robot in education policy was a first.

Figure AI, the California – based robotics company that makes these humanoids, said that these robots can fetch towels, carry groceries, and serve champagne.

Perplexity announced this month “Personal Computer,” an agentic software that turns a dedicated device, such as a Mac mini, with full local access to files and apps into a controlled AI system similar to OpenClaw.

The company said that “Personal Computer” is more secure than OpenClaw because it includes a built-in audit trail and requires all actions to be confirmed by the user.

This AI operating system, which will initially be available only on Mac, takes objectives while a traditional operating system takes instructions.

A few weeks ago, the company released Perplexity Computer, a cloud-based AI agent. This agent now presents enhanced security controls, compliance features, and single sign-on support. It can run from a mobile phone, not just a PC or Mac.
