Why I Built Dossier, the Job Tracker My Spreadsheet Couldn’t Be
Throughout the periods of unemployment I’ve experienced during my professional career, a spreadsheet proved to be vital in managing the job search process. Yet, although setting it up was easy and fairly low-tech, keeping it updated was manual and tedious. Updating a listing for a job I applied for required modifying numerous cells in a […]

Adobe Firefly Graduates Its Audio Tools and Adds a Free Tier to Its AI Assistant
Sound is usually the last thing a creator adds to a project, and the first thing anyone watching it notices. It’s also the point where the work stops. The edit is finished, the pacing is right, and then comes the detour: out to a stock library, through a licensing page, into a subscription in search […]
Travelers Trust AI. The Sites It Recommends Aren’t Ready.
When Jesse Middleton, a venture capitalist at Flybridge Capital, was looking to arrange travel from New York City to Cancun to attend a wedding, he didn’t scour Expedia, Travelocity, Kayak, or even individual airline websites—at least not on his own. Rather, it was handled by an AI agent. He wrote on LinkedIn that it searched […]
Snowflake Will Now Pick Which AI Model Handles Your Task
Snowflake has announced a feature that will soon automatically select the best AI model to handle a customer’s request—and it may not even be one from Anthropic or OpenAI. Dynamic model routing, in Cortex AI as a private preview, is the AI data cloud company’s answer to enterprises that have moved away from the one-model-fits-all […]
Agent Plugins Explained: What the New AI Standard Actually Does
You may think of the agentic world as the Wild West, but over the past two years, technologists have been developing rules of the road. Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol settled how agents access external tools. Google’s Agent2Agent and Cisco-backed AGNTCY took on the question of how agents reach each other. Now, there’s Agent Plugins, a […]
Adobe’s AI Collaborators Turn Outside AI Agents Into Governed Workfront Teammates
At the Adobe Summit last April, the company announced the Workflow Optimization Agent designed to automate “intelligent, connected actions” across workflows. Four months later, the agent—since rebranded as AI Collaborator—is now generally available. Through Adobe Workfront, the company’s work management application, users can delegate work to these virtual teammates similarly to how they might with […]
Why AWS Built Dogwood, an Open-Source Policy Language That Limits What AI Agents Can Do Over Time
You’ve tasked your AI agent to process vendor payments on your behalf. An invoice arrives one day, and the agent autonomously handles the transaction. It runs like clockwork—until the morning you find your bank account overdrawn. Digging in, you discover payments to vendors who never submitted an invoice and, in a few cases, never delivered […]
Adobe Widens Its ChatGPT Presence With Plugin Built for Creative Workflows
When Adobe began abandoning shrink-wrapped software for the cloud in 2011, it dragged the entire industry toward subscriptions. Now the company is attempting its next migration, this time into territory it doesn’t control: chatbots. On Thursday, Adobe launched a plugin for ChatGPT that brings more than 70 of its tools natively into an assistant used […]
Washington’s Tech Ecosystem Still Traces Back to Microsoft and UW: WTIA
In 2015, the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) published a sprawling infographic that traced more than 600 homegrown companies back to the people who started them. The “Seattle Tech Universe” was cartography with a thesis: the region builds more than Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, and Boeing. Eleven years later, the WTIA is redrawing it. At this […]
