Something curious is happening with AI coding agents. Developers have started telling me they’re asking these coding agents to take on different personas so they behave like more of a team than an individual programmer.For instance, a developer creating a software product feature will first tell their AI coding product—whether it be Gemini or Codex—to act as a “product manager” that creates a...
Amazon Web Services is developing AI to automate functions in its sales, business development and other groups where it recently laid off hundreds of employees or even more.
For instance, AWS has been developing an AI agent that helps its sales employees provide customers with fast answers to technical questions, according to two people who have used it. The agent handles some of the work of...
When invading a hostile territory or testing a new AI service, it’s best to move quietly and steal a march on your opponents. Google appears to have learned that lesson. It’s now possible, if you’ve got its latest Pixel or Samsung phones, to ask the Gemini app to order an Uber or a meal on DoorDash. I tried it today and it worked flawlessly, if slowly.

Nvidia faces growing competition in the AI chip market. But the chip designer has found a way to make money even from its rivals’ chips.
During its annual GTC developer conference last week, the company unveiled a new server rack designed to run chips made either by Nvidia or by its rivals. The new racks include networking technology that connects the chips on each rack, ensuring that they can...
Software engineers embracing the AI coding revolution don’t have much loyalty to any particular coding tool, especially when a new, better one comes out. In the latest example of that, the growth of Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex is outpacing that of Cursor among hundreds of engineers at Notion, a maker of popular task-management software, according to a person involved in the change.
