1. AI.com launched by Crypto.com’s Kris after $70M buy, built on OpenClaw

Ai.com requires users to create a handle via a Google account to access agentic AI experiences:

• Users receive a persistent AI agent with a full virtual PC, capable of tasks beyond chat, including email, scheduling meetings, and phone calls.

• Last week: Marszalek was reported to have bought the ai.com domain for $70M.

• Bits from Y Combinator also launched over the weekend with a similar value proposition.

3. Super Bowl LX ad scene heats up with AI, betting, celebrity splash

• Anthropic and Google led AI promotions during the game, with Amazon, Meta and Ring also spotlighting AI features.

• Ramp and Rippling used Super Bowl ads to push AI automation to a mainstream audience.

• Fanatics Sportsbook and DraftKings leaned into betting ads featuring Kendall Jenner, Colin Jost and Michael Che.

• Celebrity-driven spots included Ben Affleck’s Dunkin’ ad and a Pokémon commercial starring Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.
