Zscaler Takes Zero Trust Beyond Human Users to Govern the Rise of AI Agents
As new AI agents accelerate their entry into the workplace, cybersecurity platform Zscaler is extending its Zero Trust Exchange to govern how these autonomous systems connect, access data, and operate across enterprise networks. On Tuesday, the company unveiled three new capabilities—AI Broker, AI Access Graph, and Endpoint AI Security—that together constitute what Zscaler calls the […]
Web IQ Is Microsoft Rebuilding Search Around the Machines
Search engines learned what a good result looked like by observing how people behaved. A click followed by a long page stay signaled satisfaction, while a quick bounce back to the search results signaled a miss. Microsoft built its Bing search engine on those patterns. But in the AI era, there’s a type of user […]
Asana Launches Agentic Work Management Platform, Pitching Itself as the ‘Easy Button’ for AI-Driven Enterprises
Asana has spent over 18 years telling companies how to manage work. Now, it wants to tell them how to manage AI. On Thursday, the company unveiled its Agentic Work Management Platform, a system designed to align humans and agents around the same plan, context, and governance. Asana calls it the “most significant product evolution” […]
Don’t Believe the Hype: AI Capabilities May Not Create Real-World Value
Kevin Scott always has something to say on the eve of Microsoft Build. The company’s chief technology officer shares his read on where technology is headed, typically in step with whatever the company is about to announce. This year, I joined executives, developers, and my fellow journalists in a downtown San Francisco bar as Scott […]
Glean Reaches $300 Million ARR, Citing Surging Enterprise Demand
Glean has reached $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), the company said Thursday, an amount that tripled in just 15 months. It attributes the growth to stronger enterprise data context, broader departmental deployment, and higher-than-average user engagement. This milestone signals that Glean is holding its ground, even as enterprise software vendors like Slack, Dropbox, […]
CoreWeave Wants Enterprises to Ship Agents First and Fix Them Later
Building reliable AI agents has traditionally meant doing most of the hard work before anyone uses them. Developers run lengthy offline evaluations against labeled datasets, measure performance across quality, accuracy, cost, and style benchmarks, make improvements, and repeat the cycle until the numbers look acceptable. Only then does the agent get deployed to users. CoreWeave […]
Asana Buys StackAI to Close the Gap Between Work Management and Enterprise Execution
As Asana positions itself as the “operating system for human-agent teams,” it has faced a real vulnerability: its agents couldn’t execute work end-to-end across the enterprise systems where business actually runs. That changes today with the company announcing the acquisition of StackAI, a no-code platform that lets enterprises build and deploy AI agents across critical […]
ServiceNow University Is Growing Fast. Now Comes the Hard Part.
Walking through the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas on a Wednesday afternoon in May, I navigate through the crowds and vendor booths before arriving at a section called the “Playground.” It’s here where I find Jayney Howson, ServiceNow’s chief learning officer. This wasn’t our first meeting: In 2025, we spoke on the […]
Docusign Wants Its AI to Know Your Contracts Better Than You Do
Docusign made its intentions clear two years ago when it pivoted beyond e-signatures into the Intelligent Agreement Management space. Now, it’s ready to show what that actually looks like in an AI agent world. At its Momentum conference on Thursday, the company announced that its AI engine for agreements, Iris, is expanding into agents along […]
OpenClaw Agents Were Built for Users. EnterpriseClaw Rebuilds Them for the Enterprise.
AI agents are getting more capable by the day, pushed forward by computer-use frameworks like OpenClaw and its variants. Enterprise adoption should be accelerating—and it would be if not for the security and governance issues: No one wants an agent wiping out an entire database in nine seconds without permission. On Tuesday, Automation Anywhere unveiled […]
