AI's ability to analyze large datasets has also led to breakthroughs in personalized medicine. Now, doctors can tailor treatments to individuals based on their unique genetic makeup. This has greatly improved the success rate of treatments, particularly in complex fields like oncology.

Hello, It’s one thing to endlessly scroll through food reels, but what if you could virtually taste the food too?
Scientists have developed a device to recreate the flavours of food and drink, allowing them to be shared remotely in a matter of seconds. However, they have not yet cracked spicy food, reports The Guardian.
While the device sounds impressive, unfortunately, its name doesn’t score high on creativity as its makers have decided to call it e-Taste. “Potential applications include immersive gaming, online shopping, remote education, weight management, sensory testing, physical rehabilitation and others,” the researchers write.
Elsewhere, Chinese robotics company Unitree has shown off its G1 humanoid robot pulling some impressive kung fu moves. In a video released last week, the robot can be seen performing smooth dances and precise footwork.
The video appears to be inspired by the Will Smith-starrer science fiction film, I-Robot.
Not all science fiction-inspired devices become successful though. Case in point: the $700 Humane AI pin. The wearable gadget was supposed to be a personal AI assistant, helping users make calls, send messages, take notes and more. However, Humane announced last week that it is being acquired by HP and that it will stop selling the pins. The company has also bricked existing devices.
In today’s newsletter, we will talk about AI accelerating medical research, solving pain points in sales and Awadhi cuisine beyond the classics.
Speaking at DevSparks 2025, Gaurav Tripathi, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of InnoPlexus, emphasised how AI-driven advancements in computational biology are enabling scientists to make discoveries at an unprecedented scale.
Leveraging the immense computational power of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), researchers are accelerating the pace of medical breakthroughs, reducing the time and cost required to analyse complex biological data.
SurveySparrow, which has transformed boring surveys into engaging chat experiences, now hopes to change one of the tedious processes in enterprise sales—Request for proposals. The startup’s latest innovation, SparrowGenie, uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help sales teams that traditionally spend countless manual hours coordinating with various departments to craft the responses.
Kakori kebab, kareli ki nihari (a rich, spiced curry that once graced the royal table) and lahsun ki kheer (garlic pudding)—it’s rare to come across these dishes in a culinary festival dedicated to Awadhi cuisine. But Chef Ishtiyaque Qureshi, son of the late Imtiaz Qureshi, was clear about offering diners a taste of the cuisine beyond the classics at the ‘Jashn-e-Lucknow’ at JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity.
