AWS’s Well-Architected Agent Audits Your Cloud Setup and Hands Back the Code
Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Thursday released a public preview of its Well-Architected Agent, an AI service designed to examine a customer’s cloud infrastructure, compare it against the company’s standards for how systems should be built, and return specific fixes.

That’s why on Wednesday at its annual Oktane conference, the […]

On Thursday, Salesforce introduced the latest step in its […]
Botsitting, Botshitting, and the Hours AI Never Gave Back
We’re being bombarded by tech companies hyping the transformation of the workforce, which they contend no longer consists solely of human-to-human collaboration but also of human-to-AI agent collaboration. It’s the era of the agentic enterprise or the proliferation of Frontier Firms—whichever marketing label you prefer. Yet, despite all the pronouncements that AI agents will accelerate […]
