Oakamo

Oakamo is a “read it later” bookmarking tool that makes reading online feel calm and intentional.

Save articles from anywhere, organize them into a personal library, and read them in a clean interface without ads.

There’s also support for highlighting key passages and an audio feature that lets you listen to saved articles while commuting or multitasking.

VisibAI

VisibAI is a new auditing tool that checks whether your business appears in AI-generated recommendations from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Mistral, and You.com,

Then, it scores your visibility and compares it against competitors.

Plus, it gives you recommendations like unblocking AI crawlers, improving structured data, strengthening topical authority, and creating content that AI models are more likely to reference.

Honestly

It surfaces recurring themes, sentiment, emerging trends, and creator opportunities, plus it can also identify creators who are already talking about your products.

It’s essentially a smarter form of social listening.

In the Weights

In the Weights is a new tool that measures how well LLMs can identify and describe a person without relying on web search.

Enter a name, and the platform queries GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Llama, then analyzes their responses to generate a “strength score” that reflects how deeply that person appears to be embedded in AI model memory.

Why?

Well, think of it as Google-ing yourself for the genAI age.

Adobe’s Cannes Announcement

Adobe is expanding its role in the AI ecosystem through a wave of new partnerships with agencies and tech companies announced at Cannes Lions.

They unveiled collaborations with Accenture Song, Omnicom, Stagwell’s Code and Theory, and WPP, all aimed at helping brands use AI agents to create, manage, and optimize customer experiences at scale.

The partnerships include everything from WPP’s new intelligence layer connecting media spending to customer data, to Code and Theory’s content operating system for sports organizations, and Omnicom’s AI-powered framework for campaign planning and execution.

Adobe also announced that its CX Enterprise Coworker and marketing AI capabilities are now available through platforms including Anthropic’s Claude Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

AI Essentials for Marketers

Adobe and LinkedIn have launched a free global training initiative to help marketers build practical AI skills across digital marketing, content creation, social media, communications, and analytics.

It’s not a slog through theory. It’s built around real-world workflows, including content planning, audience targeting, campaign development, and using data within agentic AI systems.

Reframe

RetroMac’s new tool is an open-source desktop browser that lets you relive the vibe of late-90s and early-2000s browsers.

It’s got modern Chromium under the hood, so today’s web works as it should, but the built-in Wayback Mode lets you view websites as they appeared 30 years ago.

Surf with pixel-perfect versions of Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape Communicator 4.8, Firefox 1.0, and Safari 1.0.

New Bing Webmaster Tools

Speaking of AI visibility, Microsoft is making it a lot easier to measure with new updates to Bing Webmaster Tools.

Citation Share shows what percentage of all citations for a specific query belong to your site. It’s an observational metric, not a scorecard, but it provides a useful gauge of AI visibility over time.

Intents classify grounding queries into categories like research, comparison, planning, and informational searches, while Topics group related queries into broader themes.

Plus, Compare allows you to view changes across time periods, making it easier to spot trends, seasonality, or the impact of content updates on AI visibility.

Omnisend

Omnisend combines email, SMS, and web push notifications into a single platform built specifically for online stores.

There are pre-built automations for abandoned carts, browse abandonment, welcome series, and post-purchase messaging.

It also has AI-powered tools for writing emails, generating subject lines, building audience segments, and recommending products, with many features available even on lower-tier plans.

It’s a great fit for small and midsize ecommerce brands.
