Shell will use agents from C3 AI to shift from basic anomaly detection towards fully-automated predictive maintenance. The global energy giant is building on their current use of the C3 AI Reliability Suite, which already keeps tabs on more than 30,000 crucial pieces of equipment across upstream and downstream operations. Shell now intends to lean heavily into autonomous AI agents, putting them in charge of the entire maintenance lifecycle. Going from that first warning sign all the way […]

We will no longer accept public pull requests. […] A substantial patch used to imply substantial effort, and that effort was a reasonable proxy for good faith. That assumption no longer holds. […] Whether code was typed by hand is beside the point. What matters is who is responsible for it once it enters the browser. Ladybird is becoming a browser for real users. The people introducing changes to it must be the people who decide those changes […]
Flipsnack’s AI Living Visuals turns static images into cinematic motion directly inside digital documents — no video production workflow required. Since launching in March 2026, the feature has averaged 60 AI-powered generations per day across 3,000+ users, driven by one core insight: enterprise teams have always known motion content performs better, they just never had a scalable way to produce it. Built on Gemini VEO 3.1 and embedded natively into Flipsnack’s publishing platform — used by brands like […]
In this tutorial, we set up Microsoft Fara in Google Colab and run a browser-use workflow from start to finish. We begin by cloning the repository, installing the package, preparing Playwright, and verifying that the installed Fara files work even when the package layout changes. Instead of immediately relying on a heavy Fara-7B deployment, we create a small mock OpenAI-compatible endpoint that returns valid browser actions. This lets us test the same agent loop that Fara uses for […]
The agentic era created a new infrastructure need: a control layer for deciding which AI-driven, automated, or human-triggered actions are allowed to proceed. Devenex is giving a name to a problem many enterprises were already beginning to feel. Every major shift in enterprise technology eventually creates a new control category. Systems of record emerged because organizations needed reliable places to store and manage critical data. Integration platforms became necessary when applications had to move information across environments. API […]
