The Uber Eats app will soon include a new artificial intelligence-powered beta feature that can build a grocery basket from text or images.
When using this new Cart Assistant feature, users can type a shopping list; describe what they would like to make (such as “pancakes from scratch”); or upload an image such as a photo of a handwritten shopping list or a screenshot of recipe...
French AI startup Mistral says its revenues have jumped 20-fold in the last year.
Co-founder and CEO Arthur Mensch told the Financial Times (FT) Wednesday (Feb. 11) that the company’s annualized revenue run rate — a figure based on the prior month’s sales multiplied by 12 — was “north of $400 million,” versus $20 million a year ago.
His comments came as Mistral announced plans to...
Scott Hurlbert’s clearest reminder that customer experience is still personal came through a text from his daughter.
She was away at college and wanted to do something sensible with her savings, like investing in the kind of high-yield savings move many people make for the first time in their early 20s.
“Dad,” she wrote, “I think it’s time for me to get a high-rate money market account...

Acquihiring once sounded like a Silicon Valley novelty. Today, it has become a practical mechanism for companies racing to secure artificial intelligence talent, offering a faster alternative to traditional mergers and acquisitions at a moment when engineers, data scientists and product...
What if a way to track, forecast and model cash, credit, debt and investments could make your company smarter and stronger? What if the corporate finance function unlocked hidden savings and faster, more efficient ways to strategically allocate money toward operations and growth? And what if a rapidly evolving technology could do all of that autonomously with minimal human interaction,...
The most revealing signal in the latest PYMNTS Intelligence research is not that consumers are experimenting with agentic AI.
It is that they are already drawing firm boundaries around where autonomy ends and financial trust begins.
That tension sits at the center of the findings contained in “From Assistive to Agentic AI: Consumers Wade Into Autonomous Commerce,” the January 2026...
For many small businesses, cash flow is no longer a background concern. It is the defining constraint shaping daily operations and long-term viability. Delayed receivables are becoming more common and more damaging, even for firms with steady sales. As payment cycles stretch, slow-moving funds are placing increasing pressure on small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) across industries....
Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to experimental pilots in the construction industry. It is moving into the operational core of how projects are planned, monitored and executed, driven by labor shortages, safety pressures and rising project complexity. What is emerging is not a single “AI tool,” but an ecosystem of agents, predictive systems and autonomous machines that are beginning...
Ford paid $2 billion in tariffs in 2025 and expects to spend about the same amount in 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday (Feb. 10).
Last year’s total was higher than the company expected, according to the report. Ford had expected a tariff-relief program announced in October to be retroactive back to May, but the automaker learned in December that the program would only be...
While much of the Big Tech narrative continues to revolve around chips and compute infrastructure, this week highlighted a quieter but equally significant set of moves unfolding in parallel. From industrial artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and AI-native social media experiments to autonomous agents in scientific research, technology companies are pushing AI deeper into real-world workflows...
