Good evening!
It’s National Cheeseburger day so that’s what I will be doing for dinner.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🤝 Nvidia invests $5B in Intel, forming chip partnership
Backed by a $5B investment that will give Nvidia about a 4% stake, Intel logged its best day since 1987. The tie-up centers on jointly developing PC and data-center products, with Intel designing custom CPUs that pair with Nvidia GPUs via higher-speed links. Notably, Intel’s foundry won’t make Nvidia chips under this deal. Analysts say the partnership raises competitive pressure on AMD and could threaten TSMC over time. (Reuters)
2. 🤖 Custom AI Integrations Have Arrived - Don’t Get Left Behind

3. 📊 Notion launches AI agents for automation and data analysis
Rather than simple chat, Notion’s new Agents can execute multi-step tasks across pages and databases and run for 20+ minutes with workspace memory. Examples include building launch plans, drafting docs, and updating databases at scale. Scheduling/triggered automations and a template library are highlighted in launch materials. The rollout is part of Notion 3.0, positioned as a full upgrade to Notion AI. (Tech Crunch)
4. ⚖️ AI SEO Tools: Hype or Help?
Every week, a new tool claims it can “crack” Google’s AI Overviews or help you rank in ChatGPT results. But which ones actually work, and which ones are just selling buzzwords?
👉 Live teardown: What each tool promises vs. what it actually delivers
👉 Where AI SEO tools add real value...and where they fall short

5. 💎 Google opens sharing for custom Gemini AI assistants called “Gems”
Personalized Gemini “Gems” can now be shared with teammates, friends, or the public using Drive-style permissions (view, use, edit). Designed for tasks like coding help, tutoring, or sales enablement, Gems can be customized and managed in a dedicated dashboard. The rollout builds on March’s wider availability, making Gemini more modular and collaborative. Analysts view the feature as Google’s answer to OpenAI’s custom GPTs, aimed at boosting adoption and engagement. (Tech Crunch)
6. 💰 Numeral raises $35M to automate sales tax with AI
The Y Combinator-backed startup closed a $35M Series B at a $350M valuation, led by Mayfield with Benchmark, Uncork, YC, and The Chainsmokers’ Mantis VC participating. Numeral builds AI tools to automate sales tax and VAT compliance, simplifying complex filings for SaaS and e-commerce companies. The raise comes just six months after its $18M Series A, underscoring investor confidence in AI for financial workflows. Expansion into global markets is on the roadmap as the company scales its offering.. (Tech Crunch)
7. 📈 Wall Street rallies to record highs after Fed rate cut
Stocks climbed broadly on optimism that more easing may follow, with tech and small-caps driving gains. The Fed’s 25 bps cut lifted investor sentiment, pushing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to fresh records. Intel provided an extra boost, surging over 20% after Nvidia revealed a $5B stake. Analysts now see momentum carrying into Q4 as lower borrowing costs support corporate earnings. (Reuters)
