AWS Gives AI Agents the Authority to Spend With AgentCore Payments
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building the infrastructure that lets AI agents transact on behalf of humans—with their consent, of course.

Atlassian Bets That Context-Rich Agents Beat Context-Blind Ones
When Atlassian introduced Rovo AI in 2024, it wasn’t running solely on a foundation model. It was drawing on the Teamwork Graph, the company’s structured map of how people, teams, projects, and decisions connect across an organization, built over more than two decades of enterprise use. That context layer is what Atlassian said set Rovo […]
Twilio Takes On ‘Agent Amnesia’ So Customers Never Have to Repeat Themselves Again
How many times have you called customer service, explained your problem, got transferred, and had to start all over again? With AI agents in the mix, that experience doesn’t get better—it multiplies.

Slack’s GM Predicts Agents Will Soon Outnumber Humans on the Platform

OpenAI’s Chronicle Looks a Lot Like Microsoft’s Recall. Will It Face the Same Scrutiny?
OpenAI wants to give its Codex coding agent a better memory. On Tuesday, the company rolled out an “experiment” feature called Chronicle that runs background agents to capture your screen, extract context from those images, and build persistent memories so Codex understands what you’re working on without you having to re-explain it every session. OpenAI says […]
This Adobe Sneak Uses AI to Rethink the Personalized Web
Cookies have long been the default tool brands reach for when personalizing the web. For over 30 years, small text files stored in browsers have given companies a window into how users move across the web—and a way to tailor ads and content accordingly. But privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, restrictions in browsers […]
Canva Was a Design Platform With AI Tools. Now It’s an AI Platform With Design Tools.
When Melanie Perkins, Cameron Adams, and Cliff Obrecht launched Canva 13 years ago, the goal was to make design accessible to everyone. Back then, it was a territory reserved for specialists. Adobe’s suite was the industry standard—powerful, but complex and expensive enough to keep most people out. Creating a polished presentation or a simple marketing […]
AWS Unveils Agent Registry to Bring Order to Enterprise AI Sprawl
Every major enterprise software vendor—Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP—is racing to plant a flag in what they’ve variously dubbed the “frontier firm” or the “agentic enterprise.” The pitch is the same regardless of the branding: the future of work runs on digital labor. But as agent deployments multiply, so does the risk. Knowing […]
