Presented by EdgeVerveArtificial intelligence (AI) has long promised to change the way enterprises operate. For years, the focus was on assistants, systems that could surface information, summarize documents, or streamline repetitive tasks. While valuable, these technological assistants were reactive: they waited for human prompts and provided limited support within narrow boundaries.Today, a new chapter is unfolding. Agentic AI, whose systems are capable of autonomous decision-making and multi-step orchest Read more ›

Tony Stoyanov is CTO and co-founder of EliseAIIn the 2010s, tech companies chased staff-level specialists: Backend engineers, data scientists, system architects. That model worked when technology evolved slowly. Specialists knew their craft, could deliver quickly and built careers on predictable foundations like cloud infrastructure or the latest JS frameworkThen AI went mainstream.The pace of change has exploded. New technologies appear and mature in less than a year. You can’t hire... Read more ›

While Gemini 3 is still making waves, Google's not taking the foot off the gas in terms of releasing new models.Yesterday, the company released FunctionGemma, a specialized 270-million parameter AI model designed to solve one of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern application development: reliability at the edge. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, FunctionGemma is engineered for a single, critical utility—translating natural language user commands into structured code that apps and devices... Read more ›

2025 was supposed to be the year of the AI agent, right? Not quite, acknowledge Google Cloud and Replit — two big players in the AI agent space and partners in the "vibe coding" movement — at a recent VB Impact Series event.Even as they build out agentic tools themselves, leaders from the two companies say the capabilities aren’t quite there yet. This constrained reality comes down to struggles with... Read more ›

Building an enterprise AI company on a "foundation of shifting sand" is the central challenge for founders today, according to the leadership at Palona AI. Today, the Palo Alto-based startup—led by former Google and Meta engineering veterans—is making a decisive vertical push into the restaurant and hospitality space with today's launch of Palona Vision and Palona Workflow. The new offerings transform the company’s multimodal agent suite into a real-time operating... Read more ›

OpenAI has begun accepting submissions from third-party developers for their apps to be accessible directly in ChatGPT, and has launched a new App Directory (don't call it a "store"!) that can be opened from the ChatGPT sidebar and at the URL chatgpt.com/apps.This means the 800 million+ users of OpenAI's hit chatbot can search for, discover and begin using newly approved third-party apps immediately. Once installed, apps can be triggered during... Read more ›

When Derek Waldron and his technical team at JPMorgan Chase first launched an LLM suite with personal assistants two-and-a-half years ago, they weren’t sure what to expect. That wasn’t long after the game-changing emergence of ChatGPT, but in enterprise, skepticism was still high. Surprisingly, employees opted into the internal platform organically — and quickly. Within months, usage jumped from zero to 250,000 employees. Now, more than 60% of employees across... Read more ›

Mistral AI, the French artificial intelligence company valued at €11.7 billion, unveiled its third-generation optical character recognition model on Tuesday, positioning document digitization as the critical first step enterprises must take before realizing the full potential of generative AI.The new model, called Mistral OCR 3, claims a 74% win rate against competing products when processing forms, scanned documents, complex tables, and handwritten content. Mistral priced the technology aggressively at $2. Read more ›

Presented by T-Mobile for BusinessSmall and mid-sized businesses are adopting AI at a pace that would have seemed unrealistic even a few years ago. Smart assistants that greet customers, predictive tools that flag inventory shortages before they happen, and on-site analytics that help staff make decisions faster — these used to be features of the enterprise. Now they’re being deployed in retail storefronts, regional medical clinics, branch offices, and remote... Read more ›

For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the "completion." You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This "stateless" architecture—embodied by Google's legacy generateContent endpoint—was perfect for simple chatbots. But as developers move toward autonomous agents... Read more ›

The enterprise AI market is currently nursing a massive hangover. For the past two years, decision-makers have been inundated with demos of autonomous agents booking flights, writing code, and analyzing data. Yet, the reality on the ground is starkly different. While experimentation is at an all-time high, deployment of reliable, autonomous agents in production remains challenging. A recent study by MIT’s Project NANDA highlighted a sobering statistic: Roughly 95% of... Read more ›

As enterprises accelerate the deployment of LLMs and agentic workflows, they are hitting a critical infrastructure bottleneck: the container base images powering these applications are riddled with inherited security debt. Echo, an Israeli startup, is announcing a $35 million in Series A funding today (bringing its to-date total to $50 million in funding) to fix this by fundamentally reimagining how cloud infrastructure is built.The round was led by N47, with...

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI.RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in a database, and retrieve the most similar passages when queries arrive. This works adequately for one-off...
