Alphabet has rolled out new capabilities for its Gemini AI assistant that let users import chat histories from other AI applications.

On the legal and analyst front, Evercore analysts have anticipated a rise in insurance coverage disputes following a Delaware court ruling that analysts say could affect companies such as Alphabet. The ruling is characterized in reports as supportive of the insurance industry and is likened to previous decisions tied to other litigation waves.

Separately, Citizens has kept its Market Outperform rating on Alphabet, citing expanding opportunities from AI-driven advertiser tools and continued cloud growth. In related personnel movement across the tech sector, Apple has named Lilian Rincon - a former Google executive - as its vice president of product marketing for artificial intelligence.
