AI-generated summary ClickUp has started a gradual rollout of browser use capabilities for Brain, allowing the AI to interact with websites that lack official integrations. The sessions run on Browserbase cloud infrastructure, providing live views, step logs, and recordings while requiring user logins for password-protected pages.
AI-generated summary Google DeepMind built a suite of Cheminformatics Skills for Google Antigravity to turn the surface into a collaborative science workbench for computational and experimental bench chemists. Google DeepMind highlights how the drug crizotinib has five major rotatable bonds while lorlatinib has been cyclized to reduce rotatable bonds to zero.
AI-generated summary Baseten launches Baseten Sandboxes to provide stateful and secure environments for running agents. Baseten says Sandboxes boot from standby in milliseconds and are free to run until November 16.
AI-generated summary Oracle Corp. executive vice president Çetin Özbütün states that new functionalities such as Oracle Deep Data Security are available for users on day one in Autonomous AI Database. Oracle Corp. states that Autonomous AI Database encrypts data at rest and in transit by default, and users cannot turn those protections off.
AI-generated summary Personal AI agents from Meta and OpenAI are available as automations that take instructions from a human to pursue a goal by controlling a cloud computer or browser. Cloudflare says this agentic traffic is growing rapidly and may eclipse traditional human browsing on the Internet in the near future.
AI-generated summary Carnegie Mellon University researchers launched a study showing that personal artificial intelligence agents released by companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google use personal information to upsell wealthier individuals. The study found that eight of thirteen models systematically selected more expensive options for wealthier users despite identical requests, with price differences reaching nearly $3,900 a year for graduate schools.
AI-generated summary SaaStrAI launched an email deliverability bake-off comparing three vendors across more than 500,000 emails using its AI agent named 10K. The AI agent ran multivariate diagnostics and found that the challenger obtained 2.4 times the opens and 2.9 times the clicks compared to the incumbent.
AI-generated summary PCWorld has released a new prompt designed to prevent AI agents from executing unauthorized actions like sending emails without explicit approval. The prompt successfully stops models such as ChatGPT and Claude from taking irreversible steps after receiving vague follow-up commands.
AI-generated summary Box has announced Box Architect for building agentic workflows and new threat protection capabilities. Teams will be able to use frontier AI to create workflows and apps while protecting enterprise content.
AI-generated summary Visa rolled out a new website making the results of its agent shopping experiment available to the public. The study reveals that personal AI agents like Muse or Claude messed up nearly 50 percent of the time when purchasing TVs and laptops.
AI-generated summary Tripo AI launches Agentic Canvas, an AI agent that builds reusable 3D model workflows for 3D printing and games. Tripo says the release extends its generative 3D tools from producing one model at a time toward repeatable processes.
AI-generated summary Google Cloud is keeping its CodeMender AI tool in preview while adding controls for businesses to isolate attack simulations and target code scans. Thales Group says its early evaluation of CodeMender shows the potential to reduce vulnerability discovery time by over 95 percent while keeping human oversight.
AI-generated summary Taupia is testing agent functionality that compares energy deals and makes limited tasks available to run without employee approval for each individual step. Customers still review and confirm energy changes before they go into effect, and IT leaders generally restrict agent autonomy for higher risk actions.
AI-generated summary PYMNTS Intelligence has released a report titled The Agentic Edge Index that explores how large US companies move from AI assistance to AI action. The research draws on surveys of 1687 executives at US enterprises with at least 1 billion dollars in annual revenue to measure AI use across 75 activities.
