TOGETHER WITH MASTERWORKS

Harvard data scientist upends finance community with returns in this market

A Harvard data scientist and his crack team have figured out a way to allow everyday people to benefit from a previously “off-limits” investment, with Masterworks, the platform for investing in blue-chip art for a fraction of the cost.

You don’t need art expertise, or millions of dollars, because Masterworks’ proprietary database of art market returns provides an unrivaled quantitative edge in analyzing the art market for your benefit. And with all 16 exits to date, they’ve achieved a profit, delivering +10.4%, +17.8%, and +35.0% annualized net returns - among others.

Some new offerings have sold out in minutes, but readers can now skip their waitlist with this link.

Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Investing involves risk. Important Regulation A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd.

Google Launches Gemini's Contextual Smart Replies in Gmail

Google is enhancing Gmail's smart replies with a Gemini-powered update, offering more personalized responses. This update, available on Android and iOS, tailors replies to better match the context of email threads.

Details:

• The update considers the full email thread to provide responses that better capture the intent of the conversation.

• Users can preview suggested replies and choose the one that fits their style. Options can be edited before sending or sent as is.

• The feature aims to save time by offering more varied automated responses, complete with greetings and signoffs, beyond the usual quick replies.

The new contextual Smart Replies feature is rolling out to Gemini Business, Enterprise, Education, Education Premium, and Google One AI Premium subscribers. It's currently only available in English and builds on the smart replies introduced in 2017.
