Adobe’s Productivity Agent Is Changing What a PDF Can Be

ServiceNow to Enterprises: Stop Asking AI for Advice. Start Letting It Work.
The average sales rep spends just 10 hours a week actually talking to customers, according to Ipsos research. Security teams watch vulnerability backlogs grow faster than they can triage them. HR desks generate more than 40 million cases a year—most of it routine, repeatable, and stubbornly manual. The problem isn’t talent. It’s that the work […]
ServiceNow Otto Is the Front Door to an AI Platform Built to Finish the Work
Enterprises have spent the past few years deploying AI across their organizations, only to find it stops short of actually finishing the job.

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 […]
Why Microsoft Is Betting on OpenClaw
IN THIS ISSUE: Microsoft is making its boldest agentic bet yet, building a new team to bring the OpenClaw framework into Microsoft 365 Copilot — a move that could reshape how hundreds of millions of office workers interact with AI. But as enterprises race to deploy AI agents, a quieter crisis is building in the […]
ServiceNow’s Context Engine Infuses AI Agents With the Know-How to Act
An AI agent is only as good as the information it has. To ensure optimal performance, ServiceNow has developed what it calls the Context Engine, an enterprise-grade tool that pairs AI agents with an organization’s institutional knowledge, relationships, and decision history.

Slackbot Steps Into the AI Spotlight
For more than a decade, Slack has positioned itself as a place where work happens (remember this commercial?). It has become a central part of how teams communicate and collaborate. But one of its most overlooked features—the Slackbot—is now stepping into a much bigger role and becoming what Salesforce describes as the “ultimate teammate.” Slackbot […]
