The most expensive bugs in software start before the code. @awscloud.bsky.social is using Neurosymbolic AI in Kiro IDE to catch them at the source. Speed without correctness just means building the wrong thing faster. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/aws-kiro-n...
Most tech conferences generate more news than ever gets covered. Announcements, hallway conversations, signals that never make it into a story. I'm making myself available to fix that: ConferenceCorrespondent.co Organizing a tech event or sending a team to one? Check it out!
If you've ever wanted your enterprise app to have more context about your work, Atlassian just made that possible. The company opened its Teamwork Graph—150B connections of people, projects, and decisions—to any AI agent via MCP. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/atlassian-...
Twilio has come up with a way to solve "agent amnesia" in customer service. At #SignalConf, it unveiled 4 capabilities that give AI persistent memory and context, so agents remember you no matter the channel. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/twilio-rew...
CEO Bill McDermott on @ServiceNow's ambition vs. other narrowly scoped #SaaS players: "We're playing chess. If you're playing a line of business game, or you're a tool set, you're playing checkers. Both games are perfectly okay. We're playing a bigger game." #Knowledge26
Yes, I believe this... The AI revenue race is hitting a fever pitch: Anthropic has a $30B run-rate—passing OpenAI’s $24B while spending 4x less on training. The shift signals a massive move toward high-density enterprise contracts over consumer scale. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
@adobe.com has a new Sneak called Project Page Turner—and I got an exclusive preview. The idea: use #AI to make every website visit feel like it was built just for you. Here's how it works: theaieconomy.substack.com/p/adobe-proj... #AdobeSummit
Canva AI 2.0 is here—and it's not just a design tool anymore. Agentic editing. Memory that learns your style. Connectors to Slack, Gmail, Notion, and more. Scheduling. The whole creation process, in one place. Here's how you can get early access 🤫 theaieconomy.substack.com/p/canva-ai-2...
We're reaching peak agentic enterprise, folks. Robots are now replacing human workers as conference attendees. They're even partying just as hard.
I don't know about you, but I'm clearly living in the future with such high-speed internet at this hotel. Amazing place to stay for business travel...
Adobe unveils Firefly AI Assistant, a creative agent that orchestrates Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, etc from one conversational interface. The bigger shift: the end of "how do I build it?" — just describe what you want and the agent handles the rest. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/firefly-ai...
AllBirds is now an AI company? I could have sworn this was an April Fools joke, but apparently it's not. It sold its shoe brand/assets to American Exchange Group, received $50M from investor, and is now called NewBird AI, building AI infrastructure. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/15/a...
OpenAI has acquired the team at Hiro Finance. The startup will shut down on 4/20, and data will be wiped from the servers on 5/13. Hiro users can export their data until then. hirofinance.com
#SF is great for #startup founders. Just not every founder. AI2 Incubator's Yifan Zhang has a framework for knowing the difference—and it starts with a simple question: is your startup butter or sand in the gears? My latest for @geekwire.com: www.geekwire.com/2026/butter-...
.@anthropicai says that a fix has been applied to @claudeai. It doesn't specify what the issue was. Nevertheless, the company claims it's seeing "success rates recover across affected services."
.@AnthropicAI outage update: Company is saying not only is Claude.ai impacted, but also claude.code. Still no ETA for resolution.
Okay, @AnthropicAI is now saying there is a "partial outage" for @claudeai...at least on its status dashboard. No timeline for resolution, but they're apparently working on it.
Nobody reads instructions. Not your customers. Not your employees. Not even your kids. Convoy co-founder Dan Lewis learned that the hard way — and it's one of 10 startup lessons he shared at the Seattle AI Startup Summit. My @geekwire.com writeup: www.geekwire.com/2026/stop-tr...
I've written about my experience creating ClawBeat and some of the lessons I learned. Share your vibe coding tales with me! What else should I incorporate into ClawBeat? ▶️ theaieconomy.substack.com/p/clawbeat-a...
Meet ClawBeat, a project to track OpenClaw news, videos, research, and projects. It's my first vibe-coded app. Building it has taught me quite a bit about process, dependencies, and how to use AI to be a co-developer. Check it out: www.clawbeat.co
Spotify is rolling out its AI-powered Prompted Playlist feature to Premium users in the U.S. and Canada. The aim: Less genre-hopping and more intention. You describe the moment, and Spotify's algorithm builds the playlist. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/prompted-p...
Thanks to @chrispirillo.bsky.social, I'm over my startup paralysis when it comes to vibe coding. I'm feeling better about using the tool to build apps to improve my workflows. I even posted app (best used on computer) to my @github.com repository—another first! ➡️ kenyeung.github.io/grand-theft-...
Ai2 has released Molmo 2, its new vision-language model that now supports multiple images and videos. But it doesn't just see video—it understands it thanks to pointing and tracking. It outperforms models like Qwen 3, GPT-5, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. theaieconomy.substack.com/p/ai2-molmo-...
Seeing a fun AI trend popping up where people are using NotebookLM to turn their resumes into infographics. It's a nice visual way to help explain your career path, especially if you've been out of work for some time 🙋♂️
