Google Cloud just dropped its most ambitious enterprise AI play yet – a new Gemini agent that can automatically handle complex business workflows by connecting directly to your existing systems. The announcement signals Google’s aggressive push into the enterprise automation space, where companies like Microsoft and OpenAI are already battling for dominance.

Instinct, the AI agent now valued at $10 billion as of its latest funding round, is expanding into group chats. The startup announced on Monday that users will be able to add the agent to chats with friends, which could be helpful in certain scenarios like travel planning, snagging event tickets, running fantasy leagues, organizing…

Engineers increasingly use coding assistance tools to accelerate their development workflows. Today, Amazon SageMaker AI optimized generative AI inference introduces the aws-ai-ml skill, available through the Agent Toolkit for AWS. This skill gives coding agents like Kiro, Claude Code, and Codex deep expertise in inference optimization and benchmarking. Install the skill, and your existing agent…

AI agents increasingly receive access to software tools, private files, and credentials while performing technical tasks for their users every day.

Search agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are transforming how enterprises retrieve information. Rather than requiring users to craft the perfect query, a search agent autonomously decides what to search for, which retrieval strategy to use, and when to stop searching. It does this across multiple rounds of interaction, refining its approach based on…

I’ve watched engineers lose a week before an audit collecting screenshots no one will ever look at again. I’ve seen incident response plans that exist on paper but have never been tested, and vendor questionnaires completed once and filed away while the risk quietly changed underneath them.

One concrete question reveals whether the product chooses its own path or simply runs predefined instructions.

With little help from frontier labs, independent researchers are piecing together how AI agents coordinate in internet backwaters to access private data hosted on secure servers.

Although Meta had already unveiled its AI agent back in the summer, the recent Connect 2026 event revealed more of its capabilities.

When a swarm of AI agents, many autonomously provisioned by other poorly governed AI agents, escaped OpenAI’s labs and stole information from servers belonging to another company (Hugging Face), many experts viewed the incident as a major tipping point in cybersecurity and AI cyber capabilities. (To what extent are models now resourceful enough to engage in self-directed harm?)
