Board’s announcement that it has built a suite of domain-specific Board Agents on Microsoft Foundry marks a clear inflection point for how agentic AI is being folded directly into enterprise planning — and, importantly, how established planning platforms are positioning themselves to make...

Agentic AI is no longer a thought experiment — 2026 looks set to be the year these autonomous systemsms move from pilot projects into the operational fabric of enterprise software, and that shift will separate disciplined winners from over‑reaching experimenters. Background Agentic AI describes...

Davos has gone from debating generative chat to field‑testing the next phase of enterprise automation: agentic AI that reasons, orchestrates workflows and — critically — initiates real‑world actions on behalf of users and organizations. Background / Overview The conversation at the World...

Microsoft’s latest permissionsush to make Windows an “agentic” operating system — with Copilot surfacing everywhere and autonomous agents that can act on users’ behalf — has catalyzed a furious mix of technical criticism, security warnings, and viral mockery that together answer the question on...

Microsoft has quietly — and strategically — turned Copilot into a checkout lane, embedding a native, in‑chat purchase flow that stitches discovery, payments, and merchant tooling into a single conversational surface and thrusting Microsoft firmly into the center of the emerging agentic commerce...

Manus feels like a different species of AI because it treats tasks as workflows to be completed, not just questions to be answered — it plans, executes, iterates, and verifies across time and tools in ways that make interaction feel less like chatting and more like delegating a job to a reliable...

Agentic AI — systems that reason, plan and take actions across services rather than merely respond to prompts — has moved decisively out of proof‑of‑concept land and into the arms race of enterprise infrastructure, governance and procurement, with Databricks, Microsoft, AWS and a wave of vendors...

A deceptively small UX convenience — allowing Copilot to accept a prefilled prompt from a URL — has been chained into a practical, one‑click data‑exfiltration technique that security researchers call Reprompt, while at the same time enterprise telemetry shows ChatGPT accounts for the lion’s...

A new, deceptively simple attack named “Reprompt” has exposed a critical weakness in Microsoft Copilot Personal: with a single click on a legitimate Copilot deep link an attacker could, under the right conditions, mount a multistage, stealthy data‑exfiltration chain that pulls names, locations...
