AI AGENTS
Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent, a business agent that runs 24/7 in the cloud and uses a company’s tools, data, and work history to handle research, content, and code.
Give the agent a goal, and it plans the steps and delegates work to sub-agents, including tasks that take hours or days.
It works across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, and Calendar, connects to company software and MCP servers, and routes tasks between Gemini and Claude models.
Teams can manage identity and permissions, review audit logs, and set real-time spending limits. The agent is in private preview, included at no extra charge where Gemini Enterprise is available.
Give Gemini a quarterly report to prepare before you log off, and you could return to gathered data and drafted slides the next morning. It’s in private preview today, with access planned for select Business and Enterprise plans at no extra cost.

State of Product reveals what AI still hasn’t solved
80% of product professionals say AI helps them ship faster, but customers aren’t seeing value any sooner. Atlassian’s State of Product 2027 explores the gains AI is delivering and the challenges that remain, from decision-making that hasn’t kept pace to gut instinct overriding customer evidence.
AI TOOLS
Anthropic launched Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion in beta, while making Docs, Slides, and Design available on every plan, including Free.
Connect a data platform or CRM, ask a question in plain language, and Claude builds a dashboard that refreshes as your data changes. Available in beta on paid plans.
Each chart includes the query behind it, so you can check where the numbers came from.
Claude Motion turns reports, charts, and product walkthroughs into short, code-based animations. Edit the words, numbers, and timing before exporting an MP4. Available in beta on Team and Enterprise.
Check how sales or signups are doing with a dashboard that stays up to date and see where every number comes from. Bring reports to life with short animations you can fine-tune before sharing. Even on the Free plan, you can now create docs, decks, and designs in Claude.
AI AGENTS
xAI added a Shopify integration to Grok Bot, letting merchants check orders, track inventory, and update product listings through chat.
Connect your store and ask about recent orders and their status without opening Shopify admin.
Use the same connection to check stock levels and update the details on your product pages.
Pair Shopify with Grok Bot routines for scheduled updates, such as a morning roundup of overnight orders and low-stock items.
Check last night’s orders, see what’s running low, and fix a product description all from a chat. Set up a morning summary so you know what needs attention when you start your day. Try it for order and stock checks first, then let it update listings once you’re comfortable with the results.
HOW TO AI
Let Jev sort the inputs so Opus 5.5 can focus on the work that needs it.
Jev answers specific questions with choices, scores, and probabilities. Use it to sort inputs, send selected items to Opus 5.5, and let code handle predefined actions. You'll need Claude Code, Terminal, and a free TypeSafe account.
Step 1: Map the workflow
Separate actions, judgments, and thinking. Code retrieves files, Jev categorizes them, and Opus summarizes or drafts. Ask narrow questions, and remember that Jev scores start at 0.
Step 2: Get your API key
Create a TypeSafe account, open console.typesafe.ai/keys, and create a key. Run export TYPESAFE_API_KEY="paste-your-key-here" in Terminal and launch Claude Code from that window.
A new account shows $5 in credit. Keep your key out of chat.
Step 3: Test one decision
Send a yes-or-no (noul) question to https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone using jev-latest. Inspect the answer and token count, then check your credit balance. Include today's date for deadline questions.
If the request fails, try the local alternative in the full guide.
Step 4: Build the router
Select Opus 5.5 through /model. Ask it to create 30 fictional emails and a separate answer file, then build a Python router.
Keep questions and thresholds in judge-config.json and log answers, probabilities, input tokens, and routes in decisions.csv. The answer file stays out of the judge's inputs.

OpenAI rolled out Ultrafast for GPT-6.1 Sol across the API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work. It runs up to 8 times faster than Sol Standard, with near-Astra performance for coding and agent tasks.
Microsoft brought MAI-Code-1.1-Flash to GitHub Copilot for agentic coding on your own machine. Local model calls carry no inference charge as part of its new setup combining local and cloud models.
Firecrawl launched Universal Scrape, giving agents one API for web pages, PDFs, and images, plus people profiles, financial data, and podcasts from more than 200 providers through Alexandria.
📊 Gamma: Gamma 5 uses an agent to plan full decks from your context, connected sources, and visual references, with freeform editing that lets you drag elements wherever you want.
🌍 Odyssey: Released Odyssey-3, a free-to-try world model that generates interactive experiences and leads the Physics-IQ benchmark.
🎮 Google Labs: Launched Playground, an experimental platform for building games without writing code. Open to US users aged 18 and over.
💳 Polar: Is building usage tracking and billing for AI software, including the ability to switch to a cheaper model when a customer’s credits run low.
THAT’S IT FOR TODAY
Thanks for making it to the end! I put my heart into every email I send, I hope you are enjoying it. Let me know your thoughts so I can make the next one even better!
