The TechCrunch Top 3 - Quick query: We thought Google might be sad today, what with all of that Microsoft news, but Google came out swinging with its own announcements from its Google Live from Paris event. One of the more popular announcements today is that its newer AI-powered âmultisearchâ has gone global. Sarah writes that this combines text and images in a single query. Thereâs also a variation for local business searches.
- Now, where did I put that mapâ¦: If youâre planning a trip to London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco or Tokyo, Google has something you might like. Aisha reports on another big announcement on Google Maps, which launched Immersive View in those five cities. This gives you a better way to, well, immerse yourselves in the city (more Google news in the Big Tech section).
- Whatâs Elon up to now?: March 1. Thatâs the date when Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he will finally reveal his Master Plan 3. Kirsten has more on what that could be and why weâve been waiting.

Startups and VC Kyle reports that a founder grew frustrated using standard document apps like Acrobat and Microsoft Office to print out and mark up documents. He wondered why there wasnât a way to read and write on a PC that felt as fluid as paper, which led him to experiment with PDF processing software. By 2020, those experiments had grown into a fully fledged, custom PDF editor. Using AI, the editor â called Macro â pulls out key terms, sections and equations to make documents interactive and hyperlinked. Macro raised $9.3 million to continue its journey. Almost exactly a year ago, dbt Labs shined a spotlight on the opportunities in the world of developer tools for data analytics when the startup closed a Series D of $222 million at a $4.2 billion valuation. Today, dbt Labs announced it acquired Transform, adding semantic tools to its data analytics platform, Ingrid reports. Moar? U want moar? Yer in luck, mâdroogs: |

Big Tech Inc. Psst, some Russian hackers are believed to be behind the “WhisperGateâ data-stealing malware being used to target Ukraine, Carly reports. She writes that âthe info-stealing malware uses file names designed to masquerade as legitimate Microsoft Office files and is similar to other TA471 tools, such as GraphSteel and GrimPlant, which were previously used as part of a spear-phishing campaign specifically targeting Ukrainian state bodies.â However, this new malware is even more of a pain. Read her story to find out why. As promised, itâs Google mania today. The company has some new features to show off:Â Rebecca reports on electric vehicles with Maps built in, while Ivan writes about better contextual translation features. The company is also sunsetting the feature that put playable podcasts directly in search results, Sarah reports. Oh, and if you have some skin in the big game on Sunday (also Christineâs birthday), Brian writes that Giannis, Doja Cat and Amy Schumer will be peddling Googleâs Pixel during the Super Bowl.
