According to @bcherny amplifying a post by @trq212, Anthropic has added the /btw command to Claude Code to enable side-chain conversations while a primary task runs, as reported via X on March 11, 2026. According to @trq212’s video post on X, /btw lets users ask follow-up questions or launch parallel prompts without interrupting the main job, improving multitasking in code review and debugging. As reported by the original X thread, this workflow could reduce context switching by letting developers capture ideas and clarifications in real time during long-running code executions. For teams integrating Claude Code in IDEs or cloud notebooks, the added concurrency offers business impact in faster iteration cycles, tighter feedback loops, and improved developer throughput, according to the demonstration shared by @trq212 on X.

According to Google Gemini (@GeminiApp), the latest update to Gemini in Chrome introduces a new side panel feature that allows users to manage multiple chats simultaneously. This enhancement is designed to help users multitask across different conversations and topics with Gemini, increasing productivity and streamlining workflow, as reported by Google Gemini on Twitter.

According to @ai_darpa, leaks suggest that Apple's upcoming iPhone Fold could use ultra-thin flexible glass engineered to be thinner at the hinge and thicker elsewhere, effectively distributing stress and eliminating visible creases even after thousands of folds (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 23, 2025). The device is expected to have a book-style, squarer form factor with a 5.49-inch outer display and a 7.76-inch inner display. If the foldable runs iPadOS, it could enable advanced multitasking and AI-powered productivity features, creating significant opportunities for AI app developers targeting mobile multitasking and productivity markets. This innovation in foldable hardware design may also drive demand for AI-driven optimization in user interfaces and device management, further expanding the ecosystem for AI solutions in next-generation mobile devices.
