**Cassie Bishop** (2:09)
AI mashed up old maps, paintings and records to rebuild 18th century London in crazy detail. You can wander streets that don't exist anymore, see daily life back then, and basically vibe through history like it's Google Street View, but centuries earlier.

AI gadgets are about to replace your phone and laptop.

**Cassie Bishop** (2:29)
Tech companies are betting that AI-first devices, not phones or PCs, are the next big thing. These gadgets focus on voice, context and automation instead of screens and apps. The pitch? Less tapping, more delegating, and tech that works quietly in the background while you live your life.

**Cassie Bishop** (2:52)

**Cassie Bishop** (3:15)
