  • WhatsApp launches Apple Watch app with chats, voice messages and call notifications
    November 4, 2025, 2:04 PM EST. WhatsApp is rolling out a WatchOS app that brings WhatsApp chats, voice messages, and call notifications to the wrist. The update, announced in a blog post, lets users read, reply, and view conversation history directly on the Apple Watch Series 4+ running watchOS 10 or later, with support for images and stickers and preserving end-to-end encryption. The new app still requires an iPhone nearby to function and may not work when the watch is cellular-connected while the iPhone is off. WhatsApp previously arrived on WearOS in 2023, but its Facebook Messenger Apple Watch app was discontinued in 2023. This early edition marks the start of a broader, wrist-based chat experience and is the first step toward deeper watch integration.
  • Seattle romance bookstore Swoon City uses AI to tailor inventory and loyalty program
    November 4, 2025, 2:02 PM EST. Marissa Coughlin and Constantine Vetoshev opened Swoon City, a romance bookstore and crafting hub in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, with AI playing a key behind-the-scenes role. They analyzed Seattle Public Library borrowing data to curate a 3,000-book inventory, then built a custom generative AI tool to categorize titles into sub-genres like paranormal romance, LGBTQ, enemies-to-lovers, and urban fantasy. For loyalty, Claude from Anthropic helped model reward options, with the AI advising on build-it-yourself paths. The couple avoid using AI to write books or covers, preferring it for operations and discovery. They emphasize that AI is a practical tool for small businesses when used creatively and transparently.
