The Biggest AI Releases This Week
Jimdo’s Companion Turns Your Website Into a Growth Coach
On November 19, website builder Jimdo rolled out Companion, an AI assistant designed specifically for solopreneurs. Instead of functioning like a generic chatbot, Companion connects directly with your Jimdo site, bookings and analytics. It shows a clear snapshot of performance, identifies your next best action and guides you through improvements step by step—like rewriting headlines or adding booking modules. Early results are striking: users reported a 40% increase in inquiries and transactions, and half generated their first sale or lead within 30 days.
Why it matters: Most micro-business owners don’t have access to a strategist or data analyst. Companion fills that gap by analyzing your performance history, competitive environment and industry benchmarks—then delivering personalized, plain-language guidance. Included at no extra cost for Jimdo Website plans in the U.S., U.K., Ireland and DACH regions, it acts like an affordable “growth coach” for freelancers.
GoDaddy’s Airo Automates Everything From Domains to Legal Docs
Just days earlier, GoDaddy launched Airo.ai—an agentic AI that turns a simple chat into completed business tasks. Describe what you want, and Airo plans, reasons and acts across GoDaddy’s entire ecosystem. Within minutes it can brainstorm business ideas, register a domain, design and publish a website, draft policies and even create a professional logo.
Six specialized agents work behind the scenes, including:
• Airo Agent – orchestrates requests end-to-end
• Airo App Builder – creates functional apps from plain-language prompts
• Compliance Agent – drafts policies based on your location
• Domain Search Agent – suggests and reserves domain names
• Website Builder Agent – designs, configures SEO and sets up store or booking features
• Logo Agent – generates ready-to-use branding assets
Why it matters: Solopreneurs often waste days juggling tools. GoDaddy says founders “don’t want to master a tech stack; they want outcomes”. Airo cuts that setup time from weeks to minutes.
Google’s Gemini 3 and the Rise of Autonomous Agents
On November 18, Google introduced Gemini 3, its most advanced model yet, along with Gemini Agent—a feature that completes multi-step tasks like organizing inboxes or booking travel. The revamped Gemini app now returns results that look like full web pages, and Google teased Antigravity, a development platform where AI agents can autonomously plan and execute coding tasks.
Why it matters: Complex workflows that once required multiple apps can now be delegated to a single agent—saving solo founders time on admin and research.
LinkedIn Launches Natural-Language People Search
Networking just got an upgrade. On November 13, LinkedIn added natural-language people search for U.S. Premium members. Instead of typing keywords, you can ask: “mentor who scaled a small business” or “freelancer who creates viral video ads,” and LinkedIn surfaces the most relevant profiles.
Why it matters: Outreach is essential but time-consuming. This feature helps you find collaborators, clients and mentors faster—no advanced search filters required.
Adobe Acquires Semrush for $1.9B
Adobe announced its acquisition of marketing platform Semrush. The deal aims to combine Adobe’s creative suite with Semrush’s SEO and analytics, creating a unified AI-powered marketing ecosystem.
Why it matters: This move hints at a future where creative tools, SEO insights and analytics live in one place—eventually benefiting small businesses as capabilities trickle down.
