Orecot Launches: Real-Time AI Copilot for Interviews and Live Calls

Orecot launched a real-time AI assistant for live conversations. It listens to your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Upwork call, transcribes the other party in real-time, and surfaces structured talking points (STAR frameworks, technical context, project examples) on your screen. The Windows app stays invisible during screen-share.

# Quick start
1. Open https://orecot.com Sign in
2. Upload resume (PDF or DOCX)

Code with Claude 2026: 5 New Agent Features Anthropic Just Shipped

Anthropic held Code with Claude developer events in SF, London, and Tokyo. No new models — instead, 5 production-focused agent features shipped: Dreaming (background reasoning during idle time), Outcomes (evaluable goals not just completions), multi-agent orchestration with manager+worker patterns, Claude Finance with 10 pre-built finance agents, and Add-ins (deeper Microsoft Office integration).

AI Tools for C++ Embedded Development 2026: Cursor vs Claude vs Copilot

C++ and embedded development teams in 2026 increasingly use Claude Code and Cursor for low-level programming tasks. Both handle pointer arithmetic, memory management, and cross-compilation toolchains.

# Example: analyze entire firmware codebase

Claude Design → Claude Code Handoff (CLI)

Claude Design now exports a handoff bundle that Claude Code can ingest directly. This replaces manual copying of specs, design tokens, and component structure.

CLAUDE / BASH
# In your project directory

Auto-Build a Design System From Your Codebase

Claude Design can read a GitHub repo or local codebase and automatically extract a design system — colors, typography, spacing, component patterns.
