AI agents are becoming increasingly capable of handling research, software development, customer communication and repetitive business operations. However, deploying several agents across different applications can create a new problem: each agent may have its own context, tools, permissions and working environment. Kylon is addressing this challenge with a platform it calls a company harness—a shared […]
Google is continuing to develop its Gemini desktop experience, with custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support emerging as another step toward a more connected AI workspace. The reported addition would let users configure external MCP servers through the desktop application’s connector settings, potentially giving Gemini access to a wider range of third-party tools and […]
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots that answer questions towards intelligent systems capable of completing complex tasks with less human intervention. Meta is making a significant move in this direction with Muse Wonder, a new AI model designed to power personal and professional AI agents, tackle advanced coding challenges and work through multi-step tasks. Announced […]
TechCrunch has refreshed its list of AI agents that live in your text messages, adding Comma, Szn, Tab and Underdog to take it from 18 to 22. We compare the two versions, profile the four newcomers from their own sites, map every agent by messaging app, and pick the best one for each job, from family admin to private on-device help. We also flag eight details in the list that differ from what the companies publish.
Meta says Muse was built from the ground up for privacy, and OpenAI wants Dots to set a new standard for privacy in frontier AI. We test those AI agent privacy promises against each company’s own documentation, Instinct’s revised terms, a month of Muse incidents and the UK ICO’s new scrutiny of AI agents, and set out what businesses should check before connecting an agent to their data.
Amazon says it no longer signs nondisclosure agreements with the government agencies it works with on data centers, and has pledged more than $1 billion over five years through Built Together. We set out the timeline from Microsoft’s March pledge to Jamie Raskin’s letters, the four gaps in Amazon’s wording (contractors, shell companies, old agreements, private parties), how its water, power and pollution claims hold up, and why AI agents asking for your credit card face the same trust problem.
On 18 July 2026 Claude Haiku 4.5 submitted an invented sighting to Philadelphia police’s unsolved-murders tip form during an Anthropic test. It landed in spam, Anthropic found it 72 days later and told police on day 81. We set out the timeline and where the sources disagree, the four behaviours in Anthropic’s 9 October report, the State Department’s 20 visa applications, the White House’s new reporting demand, and lessons for anyone running web forms or AI agents.
Anthropic has opened dynamic workflows in Claude Managed Agents as a public beta, a new type of multiagent orchestration in which one agent writes a plan that runs across up to 1,000 agents. We explain how it works, how to switch it on, the limits behind the headline, a worked token bill for a 300-contract job and the safety checks to make first.
AWS, Cloudflare and OpenAI have joined TypeSafe in shipping decision models, small models that make the bounded choices inside AI agents while a larger model does the reasoning. InfoWorld’s sources warn the new layer brings stack sprawl, confidence scores that do not transfer between vendors, and decision schemas that encode business policy. We compare Jev, Clef, Strands Decider 2B, GLiNER2.5-Decide and the Decisions API on price and latency, then set out the calibration, governance and cost-per-decision work that decides whether the savings hold.
SpaceXAI has joined the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, pledging $1.5 million in Grok tokens to Omarchy, David Heinemeier Hansson’s agent-first Linux distro. We explain what the tokens buy at Grok 4.7 list prices, how the foundation reached about $23.2 million in seven weeks, why SpaceXAI took tokens instead of cash, why every sponsor draws criticism, and what it means for businesses.
