Google AI Studio is rolling out Import from GitHub in Build mode. It transforms an existing repo into a runtime-compatible format. You can then iterate on it, deploy it, and more. Here is what changes for developers.

DataReportal’s 2026 mid-year report found 93.6% of online adults use chat apps or messenger platforms each month. WhatsApp users open the app more than 20 times per day on Android and spend an average of 59 minutes per day inside the app. Payments have followed the same mobile pattern. The World Bank’s Global Findex 2025 found 79% of adults worldwide now have a financial account, while 84% of adults in low- and middle-income countries own a mobile phone, and 3 billion have smartphones. This creates a product opening for private chat-based payments. People already use messaging apps to coordinate dinner bills, creator support, gifts, small business payments, and peer-to-peer transfers, but the final payment often requires a separate wallet, app, address, invoice, or custodial account. Radar Chat, a new open-source messaging app from the team behind Cake Wallet, brings Bitcoin Lightn
A prompt injection attack can trick GitHub’s preview Agentic Workflows into retrieving content from private repositories and publishing it publicly, exposing a broader risk as enterprises deploy AI agents with privileged access to software development environments, according to new research from Noma Security.
The AI security company detailed the attack, dubbed GitLost, in a blog post, saying an unauthenticated attacker could exploit GitHub’s preview Agentic Workflows by submitting a crafted GitHub issue to a public repository. If the AI agent has read access to private repositories within the same organization, it can retrieve sensitive information and publish it in a public comment, the company said.
GitHub Agentic Workflows combine GitHub Actions with AI models such as Claude or GitHub Copilot, allowing developers to define workflows in Markdown. At the same time, AI agents read issues, invoke tools, and perform tasks on their behalf.

GitHub’s Q1 2026 Innovation Graph reveals 16% growth in cross-border developer collaboration, the fastest pace since Q2 2020.
GitHub’s Innovation Graph for Q1 2026 confirms a surge in global open-source collaboration, with cross-border developer activity growing 16% quarter-over-quarter. This marks the second-highest growth rate since tracking began in 2020, trailing only the 21% spike seen in Q2 2020 during the initial pandemic-driven tech boom. The ‘economy collaborators’ metric, which tracks the total volume of git pushes and pull requests between developers across different economies, highlighted this acceleration. The data suggests that open-source software development is continuing to break down borders, with a sharp rise in international contributions. Key Highlights by Economy While the growth is global, regional trends st
Microsoft has fitted the June 2026 update to Visual Studio IDE with a GitHub Copilot usage window that gives a clearer view of where a user stands against the GitHub’s new usage-based model. The update also adds trust validation for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
GitHub Copilot usage now is calculated based on token consumption rather than by request, as part of GitHub’s new usage-based billing model, Microsoft said on June 30. The refreshed usage window in Visual Studio gives a clearer view of the stance against that model, with real-time updates as the developer works. This can be opened by selecting Copilot Usage from the Copilot badge menu.
GitHub Copilot switched to usage-based billing on June 1.
Also with the June update, Visual Studio now validates MCP server trust in two places during startup. Before the MCP server process starts, the current configuration is compared against a previously trusted baseline. After it starts, the fingerprint of its tools, prompts, resourc
Update in England expected to reach about 200,000 patients over the next year as part of £10bn package to overhaul NHS systems
The NHS will begin using AI on its app to direct patients to the appropriate services, it has been announced.
The tool will be used to triage patients and to ascertain if they should be allocated a GP appointment. Some may be advised to attend a pharmacy or their local A&E department instead, depending on the severity of their condition.
