This new video editor lets Claude organize, generate, and edit right on your timeline

For years, AI video tools have mostly lived outside the editing process. You generate a clip, download it, import it into your editor, and continue working. A new app called Palmier Pro aims to eliminate some of those extra steps by bringing AI directly into the video timeline.

The newly launched software, available for macOS, is being marketed as a video editor that Claude can use. Instead of treating AI as a separate chatbot or content generator, Palmier is designed to let an AI assistant interact with an active video project and make changes within it.

A video editor built around AI, not bolted onto it.

Most AI-powered creative tools today add artificial intelligence as an extra feature. Palmier is taking a different route by building the editing experience around AI from the start. The app lets users ask AI to help organize footage, generate visual assets, create audio, and make edits without constantly switching between applications. The goal is to keep creators inside a single workspace rather than juggling separate AI tools and editing software.

What makes Palmier particularly interesting is its support for AI agents. Through integrations with tools like Claude, the software can grant AI access to project information and the editing timeline. That means an assistant can understand what’s happening in a project and carry out editing tasks on a user’s behalf.

The latest sign that AI is moving beyond chat

Palmier’s launch reflects a broader trend in the AI industry. Companies are increasingly looking for ways to move assistants beyond simple text conversations and into real software workflows. Instead of asking a chatbot for advice and then manually performing every task yourself, newer tools are being designed so AI can interact directly with applications. Video editing appears to be the latest area where developers are experimenting with that idea.

Palmier isn’t trying to replace traditional editors entirely, though. The software still includes familiar editing tools such as multi-track timelines, trimming controls, speed adjustments, and export options for professional workflows. Whether creators will trust AI with significant editing decisions remains to be seen. But Palmier’s approach feels different from many AI video tools we’ve seen so far. Rather than focusing solely on generating content, it’s betting that the next step is to give AI a seat at the editing suite.

Checking body medication levels may now be as easy as sucking on a peach-flavoured lollipop
Forget the clinic swab; this lollipop wants a lick
Lollylab

Checking your body’s medication levels is usually no one’s idea of fun. Now researchers are trying to change that with Lollylab, a candy-coated, lollipop-like device that can collect saliva and measure levels of acetaminophen in under two minutes.

The prototype created by researchers whose work was published in ACS Sensors transforms a familiar object into a miniature testing device. In a pilot study, six adults ingested the peach-flavored Lollylab before and one hour after a standard 650-milligram dose of acetaminophen. The device repeatedly detected the pain reliever in their saliva, and participants reported it was more comfortable and easier to use than traditional saliva swabs.

A US state just approved an AI doctor. For now, it’ll only prescribe acne cures.
Aside from acne, Nolla's AI can also handle redness, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and dark spots, and under-eye bags.
Nolla Derm AI doctor app.

The first AI doctor is here. Despite all the skepticism and risks associated with AI models going haywire, the state of Utah just approved Nolla Health, a company that is providing an AI healthcare expert capable of writing prescriptions without any human in the chain. For now, it will only write acne prescriptions for Utah residents over 18 years of age, willing to pay a token monthly subscription fee that's lighter than your Spotify bill.

The big push here is that the Nolla Derm app will reduce the costs of medical consultation, save users the hassle of clinic visits, and take out the problem of waitlisting from the entire healthcare equation. “Unlike telehealth platforms that use AI only to collect information before handing patients off to clinicians, Nolla's AI system is designed to independently issue initial prescriptions within tightly defined, physician-approved treatment protocols,” writes the company.

AI’s massive appetite could make cheap smartphones much harder to find
The smartphone aisle is getting pricier, and AI may be partly to blame.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Buying a genuinely cheap smartphone could soon become a lot harder, and the reason has little to do with what’s happening inside the smartphone industry itself. The enormous amount of hardware being poured into AI data centers is pressuring global memory supplies. That has helped drive up the cost of making phones, and manufacturers appear increasingly reluctant to absorb those extra costs at the cheapest end of the market.

According to Counterpoint Research, prices of existing smartphones have increased by around 15% globally this year, while newly launched devices are roughly 25% more expensive than comparable models from last year. The impact hasn't been equal everywhere, either. Smartphone prices have climbed 21% in India and 19% across Asia-Pacific, compared with just 5% in the US.
