🚀 Welcome to AI Unraveled (January 14th, 2026): Your strategic briefing on the business, technology, and policy reshaping artificial intelligence.

Today's episode covers the official confirmation of the Apple-Google Gemini partnership, a major new "agentic" tool from Anthropic for non-coders, and Microsoft's unprecedented offer to pay the full electricity bill for its data center communities. Plus, Meta pivots hard away from the Metaverse, and a new report reveals the US is lagging in AI adoption.

Strategic Pillars & Key Topics:

📱 Mobile & Platforms

• Apple x Gemini Official: The rumors are confirmed. Apple and Google have announced a multi-year deal using Gemini to power Siri and Apple's foundational models. This $1B+ annual deal pushed Google's market cap over $4T and validated Gemini's dominance.

🤖 Agentic AI & Tools

• Anthropic "Cowork": A new macOS tool brings the power of Claude Code to non-developers. "Cowork" operates in a designated folder to organize files, build reports, and manage expenses autonomously, effectively acting as a digital colleague.
• Manus Meeting Minutes: Agent startup Manus rolls out a feature to capture in-person conversations and instantly generate actionable follow-up work.

🌍 Economy & Infrastructure

• Microsoft's Power Play: Responding to community backlash, Microsoft announces it will pay the full power costs for its AI data centers and reject local tax breaks to alleviate strain on local grids and water supplies.
• The Adoption Gap: A new Microsoft AI Economy Institute report shows the US lagging at 24th in global AI adoption (16.3%), while the UAE leads at 64%. Meanwhile, Chinese model DeepSeek is quietly dominating emerging markets.

🏥 Health & Science

• OpenAI Buys Torch: OpenAI acquires health data startup Torch for $100M to integrate disparate medical records.
