🛎️ Aice Cream

Plus: Gaming Coach, Forecasting Becomes Profit Engine

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

AI no longer stays in the lab, it drips into desire, strategy, and foresight, reshaping the everyday into something both stranger and more inevitable.

RETAIL

Magnum is Creating AI Ice Cream

📌 What’s happening: Magnum, about to spin out of Unilever and list publicly, is plugging Chilean startup NotCo’s AI into its R&D pipeline. The mandate: cut calories, swap dairy for plants, tame volatile cocoa prices, and crank out “next viral flavors” faster than human food scientists ever could. NotCo’s résumé already includes Kraft Heinz’s plant-based mac-and-cheese and mayo.

🧠 How this hits reality: NotCo isn’t a kitchen lab, it runs Giuseppe, a generative AI trained on thousands of plants at the molecular level. The model maps ingredients to taste, texture, and nutrition, then spits out plant-based combinations that mimic dairy or sugar while slashing cost and calories. For Magnum, that means AI can redesign ice cream at the molecular recipe layer, not just marketing fluff. This is more than reformulation. CPG incumbents are outsourcing innovation to algorithmic labs. The losers: legacy R&D teams, brand “heritage” narratives, and anyone betting consumers won’t notice AI in their cones.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Magnum isn’t just serving ice cream, it’s serving the first taste of algorithm-designed indulgence, and the freezer aisle may never be human again.

GAMING

Google Straps Gemini Into Play Store Gaming

📌 What’s happening: Google is baking Gemini Live straight into Google Play Store titles. The AI can literally “see” your screen, answer questions by voice, and feed you hints mid-battle without switching windows. It’s a page lifted from Microsoft’s Gaming Copilot, but with Google’s distribution muscle across 200,000+ Play titles and a PC bridge.

🧠 How this hits reality: Game guides, wikis, and YouTube walkthroughs just got undercut at the root. Why alt-tab when the AI coach is already in-game, context-aware, and whispering the next move? Studios lose some control over player progression pacing, while ad-driven help platforms could watch traffic evaporate. Google, meanwhile, quietly turns gameplay itself into another Gemini data stream.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Cheat codes are obsolete. The platform now decides how fast you learn to win.

FORECAST

AI Forecasts Hit Wall Street

📌 What’s happening: Seattle–SF startup Planette is building long-range climate intelligence that fills the gap between two-week forecasts and 2050 apocalypse scenarios. Their AI platform Joro, plus quantum-inspired system QubitCast (built with NASA), crunches Earth system models across atmosphere, ocean, ice, and land. Unlike legacy weather bureaus, their AI compresses millions of physics equations into actionable signals, delivering forecasts months out, not days.

🧠 How this hits reality: If you trade commodities, insure crops, or hedge pension risk, “probabilities of extreme events” aren’t academic, they’re profit margins. Planette’s Eddy tool gives retail users four-month foresight, while hedge funds get six. Farmers in Ethiopia and insurers in New York suddenly share the same playbook. Traditional meteorology looks quaint when AI finds “needles in haystacks” faster than supercomputers.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Climate volatility just became quantifiable alpha and Planette is turning chaos into a subscription line item.
