Cloudflare launches Kitesurf, a browser built for AI agents
Cloudflare is the latest company to join the race to build a new web browser. But instead of pitching a Chrome alternative to consumers, the internet infrastructure provider launchedKitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser designed specifically for AI agents. AI software is evolving from chatbots that answer questions to agents that can complete tasks on users’ behalf. Browsers are a critical part of this transition, as they’ll need to navigate the web and use websites, as humans do. Unlike traditional web browsers built for humans, a browser built for AI agents doesn’t care about visual elements, like themes, tabs, or browser extensions, Cloudflare explained in itsannouncement. A browser designed for AI agents needs to manage context windows, performance, token costs, and scalability. It also faces a different threat model because an AI browser could be subject to vulnerabilities like prompt injection attacks and more, the company noted. With Kitesurf, AI developers will be able to build software that can navigate websites, fill out forms, and complete other browser-based tasks, without having to build their own browser software. Cloudflare says it decided to build Kitesurf just 12 weeks ago, and it runs entirely on top of the company’s serverless platform, called Workers. Kitesurf is available for free while in beta inBrowser Run, which lets developers programmatically control and interact with headless browser instances on Cloudflare’s network. For developers, Cloudflare’s pitch is that this enables AI agents to use the web more efficiently while using less computing power than Chromium, which keeps costs down. “Kitesurf is significantly more efficient in CPU and memory consumption than Chromium for common agentic tasks like screenshots and HTML extraction,” according to the company. The browser itself was built from other technologies, including a modular rendering engine fromBlitz; Firefox’s CSS parser,Stylo; andBoa JS, a Rust ECMAScript engine. Everything else runs inside Cloudflare Workers. Although still new, Cloudflare says Kitesurf already passes around 215,000+web platform tests, and it’s adding hundreds more, passing tests every week. Cloudflare also credited the open source Rust headless engine, Obscura, for inspiring it to develop Kitesurf, noting that the first proof of concept was a port of Obscura to Workers. The company said the browser correctly renders pages likeTodoMVC, a popular benchmark application for comparing JavaScript frameworks, along with Wikipedia, Hacker News, the Cloudflare Blog, and much of the Cloudflare dashboard.

Airbnb says AI is helping it ship features faster as it tests a new search function
Airbnb might be taking slow steps to roll out AI features to its consumer-facing interface, but the company is rapidly adopting the tech to build product. Earlier this year, the company saidAI is writing 60% of its code. In its latest earnings call, co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said AI is helping Airbnb create features a at rapid rate. Chesky said that because of AI, the company has reduced time from conceptualization to finally shopping features by 60%. “Today, we’re building, testing, and iterating faster than we could just a year ago. Across some of our key initiatives, we’ve reduced the time from concept to launch by as much as 60%. And compared to the same six months last year, we’ve increased the number of features and improvements we shipped this year by nearly 80%,” he said during the company’s second-quarter earnings call. He pointed out that AI has helped the company in areas like search, sign-up, checkout, and payments. Airbnb has also released features designed to help hosts with thingslike quicker onboarding flow. Airbnb’s adoption of consumer-facing AI features has been slower, and mostly isolated to features like review summaries and listing highlights. Until now, Chesky has maintained that just adopting achatbot-like interfacewon’t work for travel use cases. Instead, the company has focused on developing an AI for search, discovery, and support. Chesky said during the earnings call that the company will finally start testing AI search. Even with the new test, Airbnb doesn’t want to impose AI search on customers who are used to the current search and filter feature on the app. To accommodate that, Airbnb is adding a toggle that lets users switch to AI search, where they can type in natural language to get results, which would be in a visual format. “The titles [in the answer] could actually be AI-generated and they can be conversational as if you’re reading a chatbot, but more visual. Then you get to the product description page and the highlights are AI generated in real-time and personalized to you,” Chesky said. On the back end, customer support is one area where Airbnb has heavily deployed AI. The company launched its AI-powered botin North Americain 2025, and this year, it has expanded it to more than 50 languages with plans to make it available for voice calls later this year. The company said that nearly 45% of the customer issues that start with its AI agent are completed without any human intervention. Because of this, the company’s support cost per booking is down 16% year-over-year. Airbnb posted positive results for the quarter ended in June with revenue up 17% year-over-year to $3.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA jumping 21% to $1.3 billion.

New Mexico court orders Meta to pay additional $567M in child safety case
A New Mexico Court judge on Thursday ordered Meta to pay a fine of $567 million, on top of the$375 million levied in March, in a case regarding social media harms and addiction. This brings the total fines the company has to pay to $942 million. The court also ordered Meta to make changes to its platforms: it wants the company to removing Like counts, and only showing such metrics to children under 18 only with approval from a parent or a guardian. Push notifications to underaged users are also to be paused between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m, and their usage should be limited to 90 hours a month, which amounts to roughly three hours per day. “Significant numbers of people in New Mexico experience harm from Meta’s products due to risks of sexual exploitation, interference with education, and adverse mental health outcomes,” the order said. The judge acknowledged that Meta is not the only platform causing a mental health crisis among youth in the state, but maintained that its platforms play a significant part. He said that the company has caused a significant “public nuisance” in New Mexcio, and is required to abate that. Meta said that it is going to appeal the judgment. “We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and have been transparent about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors and harmful content. We remain confident in our record of protecting teens online and will continue to defend ourselves against claims that misrepresent the facts,” company spokesperson Andy Stone said in an emailed statement. “For years, Meta knew its platforms were harming New Mexico’s kids, from feeding a youth mental health crisis to connecting predators with children, and it chose engagement and profit over their safety,” state Attorney General Raul Torrez said in a statement. “Today, Meta is paying for that choice. This judgment holds the company accountable for the damage it caused to our children, our families, and our schools, and it forces real changes to how Meta operates in New Mexico,” he added. The ruling comes in the wake of another loss inLos Angelesin March, where the court also ruled against the social media company for creating addictive patterns. Meta is facing several other cases in the country. One of the notable cases isa joint lawsuit by 33 states, which was consolidated in an Oakland, Californiafederal court. Several other states, like Tennessee,have brought their own casesagainst the company.
