The AI Daily: Amazon is testing a new feature called "Buy for Me" that lets customers purchase products from other brand websites without leaving the Amazon app. This agentic AI-powered tool handles the entire checkout process on your behalf.
Key notes:
- Currently available to some U.S. customers on iOS and Android.
- Works when Amazon doesn't sell the item you're looking for.
- Uses AI to securely provide your payment and shipping details to other websites.
- Customers can track orders in the Amazon app, but customer service is handled by the brand.
- Testing with limited brands initially, with plans to expand based on feedback.
Why it matters: This feature could turn Amazon into more than just a store—it could become the go-to place to shop for anything online. It makes online shopping easier for customers and helps brands get more visibility without giving up control of their customer service.

The AI Daily: Docker just launched Docker Desktop 4.40, packed with new AI tools to make building AI apps easier for developers. This update includes ways to run models on your own computer, smarter AI help, and a library of tools to speed up development.
Key notes:
- The new Model Runner (Beta) lets you run AI models on your computer—no tricky setup needed.
- The new Docker AI Agent can run commands, work with Git, and handle files on your computer.
- A new AI Tool Catalog gives quick access to servers that support AI model tools (called MCP servers).
- The Model Runner uses GPU on Apple Silicon for faster speed.
- The AI Agent can connect to other tools through MCP integration.
- All tools handle your API keys and login info safely.
Why it matters: Docker wants to be the go-to platform for building AI apps. These new tools remove a lot of the pain from testing and running AI code. Developers can work faster, stay secure, and use powerful features—without switching between different apps. It helps turn ideas into working AI products much more quickly.
META
📚 Authors protest Meta’s use of copyrighted books for AI training

The AI Daily: Authors and publishing professionals are gathering outside Meta's London office today to protest the company's use of copyrighted books from LibGen to train its AI models without permission or compensation.
Key notes:
- Famous authors like Kate Mosse, Tracy Chevalier, and Daljit Nagra are joining the protest.
- Protesters will deliver a letter from the Society of Authors (SoA) to Meta's office.
- A court document in the U.S. says Mark Zuckerberg approved the use of LibGen, which holds over 7.5 million books.
- Authors found their work in LibGen after The Atlantic released a searchable version.
Why it matters: This protest shows the growing conflict between artists and AI companies. SoA chair Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin said, “Meta has stolen books so their AI can copy creative work, which could hurt authors’ jobs.” It’s a key moment in the fight over who owns creative content in the age of AI.
