OpenClaw Won. Big Tech Is Now Playing Its Game.
The definition of an AI agent has evolved rapidly since the term first entered the zeitgeist. The earliest versions were chatbots with better manners: systems that answered questions, drafted text, and waited for the next prompt. Tool use and function calling took them a step further, allowing models to query databases or call APIs, but […]
Web IQ Is Microsoft Rebuilding Search Around the Machines
Search engines learned what a good result looked like by observing how people behaved. A click followed by a long page stay signaled satisfaction, while a quick bounce back to the search results signaled a miss. Microsoft built its Bing search engine on those patterns. But in the AI era, there’s a type of user […]
Microsoft Debuts MAI-Thinking-1, Its First In-House Reasoning Model
For most of the generative AI era, Microsoft has been the most prominent buyer of someone else’s intelligence. Its Copilot stack runs on OpenAI’s GPT models. Azure customers reach for frontier reasoning through the partnership. The arrangement has worked, and it has also been a structural dependency that the company has spent the last year […]
Don’t Believe the Hype: AI Capabilities May Not Create Real-World Value
Kevin Scott always has something to say on the eve of Microsoft Build. The company’s chief technology officer shares his read on where technology is headed, typically in step with whatever the company is about to announce. This year, I joined executives, developers, and my fellow journalists in a downtown San Francisco bar as Scott […]
CoreWeave Wants Enterprises to Ship Agents First and Fix Them Later
Building reliable AI agents has traditionally meant doing most of the hard work before anyone uses them. Developers run lengthy offline evaluations against labeled datasets, measure performance across quality, accuracy, cost, and style benchmarks, make improvements, and repeat the cycle until the numbers look acceptable. Only then does the agent get deployed to users. CoreWeave […]
OpenClaw Agents Were Built for Users. EnterpriseClaw Rebuilds Them for the Enterprise.
AI agents are getting more capable by the day, pushed forward by computer-use frameworks like OpenClaw and its variants. Enterprise adoption should be accelerating—and it would be if not for the security and governance issues: No one wants an agent wiping out an entire database in nine seconds without permission. On Tuesday, Automation Anywhere unveiled […]
ServiceNow and Nvidia Want to Make Desktop AI Agents Safe Enough for the Enterprise
For years, enterprises have struggled to govern AI where it actually runs, across clouds, tools, and now, increasingly, the desktops where employees do their work. ServiceNow thinks it has an answer, and it’s building the solution with Nvidia. Project Arc is the result: an enterprise desktop agent designed to bring autonomous capabilities seen in tools […]
AWS Is Trying to Make Kiro the Most Trustworthy AI Coding Tool in the Room
In software development, the costliest mistake rarely lives in the code. It lives in the requirements that came before it. Typically, the issue arose because a developer interpreted the specs differently from the author—and that’s human-to-human. Imagine how much more challenging this can be when vibe-coding. That’s why Amazon Web Services (AWS) is updating its […]
Glean Wants Enterprises to Treat AI Agents Like Software—With a Full Development Lifecycle to Match
Enterprises have spent the past year building AI agents. Now they have to figure out what to do with them. To help, Glean has released its Enterprise Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), a framework that gives Chief Information Officers and IT leaders a repeatable path to scale agents across their organizations. “Agents are software. They need […]
ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower Lands Inside Amazon Bedrock Agentcore
Enterprises that have gone the build-your-own route with agentic AI—picking their own models and standing up their own agent infrastructure on platforms like Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—have had to figure out governance themselves. ServiceNow is offering them a shortcut. The company on Wednesday connected its AI Control Tower with AgentCore, giving customers a single layer to […]
