Intercom Turns Fin Into a Developer Platform
Three years after launching its Fin customer service agent, Intercom is opening it up to third-party developers via an API. There’s a catch: It’s open to anyone spending at least $250,000 on Intercom, but the company promises usage rates that are “by far the cheapest in the industry.” Until today, Fin had been confined to […]
Microsoft Debuts MAI-Transcribe-1 Speech-to-Text Model That Tops Whisper, GPT, Gemini Flash
Microsoft’s AI division has been notably active in building out its first-party portfolio. It has developed everything from foundation models and vision capabilities to speech and image generation and diagnostic orchestration. Now, the company is adding another piece: MAI-Transcribe-1, a multilingual speech-to-text model that’s now available in public preview on Microsoft Foundry. MAI-Transcribe-1 is trained […]
Claude Users Say Tokens Are Disappearing Too Fast. Anthropic Isn’t Saying Much.
The more I think about it, the more I see rate-limit toggling by Anthropic and its peers as similar to the era before unlimited talk, text, and data on our smartphones. Back then, we scrambled to tell people to contact us outside peak hours so we wouldn’t use all of our allotted monthly minutes. This […]
AWS’s Frontier Agents Are Now GA—Ready to Automate Your DevOps and Security Headaches
AWS’s “Frontier Agents,” autonomous programs capable of building, securing, and operating software, have launched—well, two of them, at least. Coming nearly five months after their introduction at last year’s re:Invent conference, developers can use the AWS DevOps and Security agents to automate their delivery pipelines and protect their apps from vulnerabilities. But, for those hoping […]
Jentic Is Betting That AI’s Biggest Problem Is Your APIs
The agents are ready. The pipes aren’t. That’s the uncomfortable reality sitting underneath the AI agent boom. Enterprises are racing to deploy AI agents that can book flights, resolve customer complaints, reroute shipments, and connect systems that may have never spoken with each other before. The capability does exist. But the moment an agent takes […]
AWS Launches Kiro Students to Give College Developers Free Access to Its AI Coding Tool
Amazon Web Services is aiming to make AI-powered software development easier for early-stage developers. On Wednesday, it debuted Kiro Students, a new plan giving college students free one-year access to Kiro, AWS’s vibe coding tool. However, there is a catch: it comes with a 1,000 monthly credit limit and will initially be available only to […]
AWS Launches Strands Labs as a Sandbox for Exploring Autonomous AI
Last summer, Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced Strands Agents, an open-source SDK that lets developers build and run AI agents with just a few lines of code. The project has since gained momentum, exceeding 14 million downloads. And now, the company is introducing its next step: Strands Labs, a new GitHub organization aimed at helping […]
Developers Can Now Tap Slack’s Real-Time Data With RTS API and MCP Server
Developers looking to ground their AI agents in live workplace data can now tap Slack’s real-time search (RTS) API and its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Months after being announced, the two developer tools are now generally available. When incorporated, agents can leverage project conversations, team knowledge, business decisions, and other Slack data to inform […]
Ai2 Launches AutoDiscovery to Analyze Datasets and Break Science’s Ideation Bottleneck
Scientific progress has long followed a familiar arc: form a hypothesis, design an experiment, test, and repeat. But when dealing with sprawling datasets, the bottleneck isn’t in collecting information. It’s deciding where to look. Ai2 is betting that artificial intelligence can automate that decision. The nonprofit AI lab has introduced AutoDiscovery, an open-source experimental tool […]
Claude Code Becomes the Engine Behind ServiceNow’s Vibe Coding Agent
ServiceNow is upgrading its Build Agent, shifting the coding assistant to run by default on Anthropic’s Claude Code instead of the general-purpose Claude model. This change gives users access to a language model purpose-built for software development, better suited to handling coding tasks and application logic when building production-grade apps and agents. This move is […]
