Nextpage: Desktop App Adds Next-Page Button to AI Chat

Developer Oleg Galkin introduces Nextpage, a cross-platform Electron desktop app that integrates web search results into AI chat interfaces. The app allows users to search on Google, Bing, or Yandex, and then append selected search results as source blocks into AI chats like DeepSeek, ChatGPT, or Perplexity.

Netflix Unlocking New Targeting and Measurement Capabilities with The Trade Desk

Netflix is expanding its programmatic advertising capabilities through a deepened partnership with The Trade Desk, enabling advertisers to access its streaming inventory via The Trade Desk's Kokai platform starting in November. This integration provides access to over four million audience segments from more than 300 data providers, enhancing targeting and measurement. Netflix also plans to bring reach, frequency, and attribution measurement directly into The Trade Desk, though no launch date has been set. The ad-supported tier will expand to several European markets in March 2027. Despite ad revenue growing over 80% in 2026, Netflix lowered its 2026 ad revenue forecast to about $2.7 billion due to slower product rollouts and recent challenges such as job cuts and weaker quarterly results. Questions remain about data quality, transparency, and campaign comparability.
