The key to successful AI agents within an enterprise? Shared memory and context. This, according to Asana CPO Arnab Bose, provides detailed history and direct access from the get-go — with guardrail checkpoints and human oversight, of course. This way, “when you assign a task, you're not having to go ahead and re-provide all of the context about how your business works,” Bose said at a recent VB event in...

OpenAI on Monday released a new desktop application for its Codex artificial intelligence coding system, a tool the company says transforms software development from a collaborative exercise with a single AI assistant into something more akin to managing a team of autonomous workers.The Codex app for macOS functions as what OpenAI executives describe as a "command center for agents," allowing developers to delegate multiple coding tasks simultaneously, automate repetitive work,...

Enterprises have moved quickly to adopt RAG to ground LLMs in proprietary data. In practice, however, many organizations are discovering that retrieval is no longer a feature bolted onto model inference — it has become a foundational system dependency.Once AI systems are deployed to support decision-making, automate workflows or operate semi-autonomously, failures in retrieval propagate directly into business risk. Stale context, ungoverned access paths and poorly evaluated retrieval pipelines do... Read more ›

By now, many enterprises have deployed some form of RAG. The promise is seductive: index your PDFs, connect an LLM and instantly democratize your corporate knowledge.But for industries dependent on heavy engineering, the reality has been underwhelming. Engineers ask specific questions about infrastructure, and the bot hallucinates.The failure isn't in the LLM. The failure is in the preprocessing.Standard RAG pipelines treat documents as flat strings of text. They use "fixed-size... Read more ›

OpenClaw, the open-source AI assistant formerly known as Clawdbot and then Moltbot, crossed 180,000 GitHub stars and drew 2 million visitors in a single week, according to creator Peter Steinberger. Security researchers scanning the internet found over 1,800 exposed instances leaking API keys, chat histories, and account credentials. The project has been rebranded twice in recent weeks due to trademark disputes.The grassroots agentic AI movement is also the biggest unmanaged... Read more ›

San Francisco-based AI lab Arcee made waves last year for being one of the only U.S. companies to train large language models (LLMs) from scratch and release them under open or partially open source licenses to the public—enabling developers, solo entrepreneurs, and even medium-to-large enterprises to use the powerful AI models for free and customize them at will.Now Arcee is back again this week with the release of its largest,...

A new open-source framework called PageIndex solves one of the old problems of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): handling very long documents.The classic RAG workflow (chunk documents, calculate embeddings, store them in a vector database, and retrieve the top matches based on semantic similarity) works well for basic tasks such as Q&A over small documents.PageIndex abandons the standard "chunk-and-embed" method entirely and treats document retrieval not as a search problem, but as...

The chief data officer (CDO) has evolved from a niche compliance role into one of the most critical positions for AI deployment. These executives now sit at the intersection of data governance, AI strategy, and workforce readiness. Their decisions determine whether enterprises move from AI pilots to production scale or remain stuck in experimentation mode.That's why Informatica's third annual survey — the largest survey yet of CDOs specifically on AI...

A new study by Google suggests that advanced reasoning models achieve high performance by simulating multi-agent-like debates involving diverse perspectives, personality traits, and domain expertise.Their experiments demonstrate that this internal debate, which they dub “society of thought,” significantly improves model performance in complex reasoning and planning tasks. The researchers found that leading reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 and QwQ-32B, which are trained via reinforcement learning (RL), i Read more ›

Presented by SAP The consumer packaged goods industry is experiencing a fundamental shift that's forcing even the most established brands to rethink how they operate. It's what some folks call the CPG squeeze, or a convergence of margin compression, trade policy headwinds, and the sobering reality that pricing-led growth is no longer a viable strategy. For companies that have relied on price increases to drive revenue, it's a structural change... Read more ›

Clawdbot's MCP implementation has no mandatory authentication, allows prompt injection, and grants shell access by design. Monday's VentureBeat article documented these architectural flaws. By Wednesday, security researchers had validated all three attack surfaces and found new ones.Commodity infostealers are already exploiting this. RedLine, Lumma, and Vidar added the AI agent to their target lists before most security teams knew it was running in their environments. Shruti Gandhi, general partner at... Read more ›

AI agents can talk to each other now — they just can't understand what the other one is trying to do. That's the problem Cisco's Outshift is trying to solve with a new architectural approach it calls the Internet of Cognition.The gap is practical: protocols like MCP and A2A let agents exchange messages and identify tools, but they don't share intent or context. Without that, multi-agent systems burn cycles on... Read more ›

Two days after releasing what analysts call the most powerful open-source AI model ever created, researchers from China's Moonshot AI logged onto Reddit to face a restless audience. The Beijing-based startup had reason to show up. Kimi K2.5 had just landed headlines about closing the gap with American AI giants and testing the limits of US. chip export controls. But the developers waiting on r/LocalLLaMA, a forum where engineers trade... Read more ›

Tel Aviv-based startup Factify emerged from stealth today with a $73 million seed round for an ambitious, yet quixotic mission: to bring digital documents beyond the standard formats most businesses use — .PDF, .docx, collaborative cloud files like Google Docs — and into the intelligence era.For Matan Gavish, Factify’s Founder and CEO, this isn't just a software upgrade—it is an inevitability he has been obsessed with for years."The PDF was...

The generative AI era has sped everything up for most enterprises we talk to, especially development cycles (thanks to "vibe coding" and "agentic swarming").But even as they seek to leverage the power of new AI-assisted programming tools and coding agents like Claude Code to generate code, enterprises must contend with a looming concern — no, not safety (although that's another one!): cloud spend. According to Gartner, public cloud spend will... Read more ›

Airtable is applying its data-first design philosophy to AI agents with the debut of Superagent on Tuesday. It's a standalone research agent that deploys teams of specialized AI agents working in parallel to complete research tasks.The technical innovation lies in how Superagent's orchestrator maintains context. Earlier agent systems used simple model routing where an intermediary filtered information between models. Airtable's orchestrator maintains full visibility over the entire execution journey: the...

Presented by SAPTen years ago, Western Sugar made a decision that would prove prescient: move from on-premise SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. At the time, artificial intelligence wasn't a priority on most roadmaps. The company was simply trying to escape what Director of Corporate Controlling, Richard Caluori, calls "a trainwreck:” a heavily customized ERP system so laden with custom ABAP code that it had become unupgradable.Today, that...

The average enterprise SOC receives 10,000 alerts per day. Each requires 20 to 40 minutes to investigate properly, but even fully staffed teams can only handle 22% of them. More than 60% of security teams have admitted to ignoring alerts that later proved critical.Running an efficient SOC has never been harder, and now the work itself is changing. Tier-1 analyst tasks — like triage, enrichment, and escalation — are becoming... Read more ›
