Всем привет! Меня зовут Александр, я продуктовый инженер в KTS.Недавно мы разрабатывали AI-копайлот для сервис-деска в виде расширения на Chrome. Копайлот подсказывал оператору ответы для клиента на основе контекста диалога, истории обращений и базы знаний компании.

While Pichai briefly referenced a... Read more ›

Longtime Slashdot reader necro81 writes: The heavily promoted, $499 T1 "Trump Phone" was originally said to be "Made in the USA" and ship in September 2025. Later, that was downgraded to "Assembled in the USA." Given the Trump Organization's lack of engineering or supply chain expertise, many assumed the "T1" would just be a private-label phone made by someone else.
