We dig into the connection to a past GeekWire scoop () former Microsoft Xbox leader J Allard joined Amazon's devices team in 2024, and he's now leading a group called ZeroOne () with a mandate to create "breakthrough" gadgets. Is this an AInative device? A companion to your iPhone? J Allard's shot at redemption? Maybe all of the above.

ThenMicrosoft shakes up its Copilot team () , shifting Mustafa Suleyman to a narrower role and unifying consumer and enterprise AI under a new leader. Todd has strong feelings about Microsoft's history of cutesy consumer tech, from Clippy to Mico.
PlusTodd's adventure using Claude CoWork to browse LinkedIn (and the stern warning he got in response), King County Metro's slick new taptopay feature () catches the transit system up with the modern world, the opening of crosslake light rail, and an Amazon Treasure truck trivia question.
