• Automating Workflows with AI by Emilio Turco (Senior Account Executive, n8n): How is AI automation evolving? From agentic workflows and human-in-the-loop systems to reliability at scale — real-world use cases, lessons learned, and best practices around governance, security, and evaluation to discover how the most advanced companies are building cutting-edge solutions today.

• Moving AI from Experimentation to Operational Impact by Abhi Shek (Senior Data & AI Manager, adidas): Practical decision-making, system thinking, and what it really takes to move AI from experiments to real operational impact.

💻 Perplexity ships their own OpenClaw 💻
Perplexity introduces a local AI agent running on dedicated Mac Mini hardware.

Perplexity has unveiled Personal Computer, a local AI agent system running on a dedicated Mac Mini that positions itself as a safer alternative to cloud-based computer-use agents. The system enables the Comet assistant to access local files, applications, and active sessions directly on the user's machine. Users describe tasks in natural language, and the agent breaks them into executable steps. Safety features include activity tracking, sign-off requirements for sensitive operations, and a kill switch. Perplexity Max subscribers gain early access via waitlist. The company also released Computer for enterprise customers, integrating 20 models, 400+ app connections, and Slack workflows—a move that could pressure competitors relying solely on cloud-based solutions.

💰 Replit Hits $9B Valuation, Rolls Out Agent 4 💰
Replit secures $400M funding while launching its most advanced coding agent yet.

Replit has launched Agent 4, an advanced AI coding agent designed to accelerate software development through an infinite design canvas and parallel agent execution for simultaneous backend and frontend builds. Teams can queue multiple requests while the agent organizes and completes them sequentially. Agent 4 generates web apps, mobile apps, presentations, and other project assets within a unified workspace. Alongside the product launch, Replit announced a $400 million funding round valuing the company at $9 billion, cementing its position as a leading AI-powered development platform. This funding signals strong investor confidence in AI-assisted coding tools and adds competitive pressure on rivals like GitHub Copilot.

⚡ NVIDIA Drops Nemotron 3 Super for Agentic AI ⚡
NVIDIA pushes beyond hardware into the open-weights foundation model space.

NVIDIA has released Nemotron 3 Super, a 120-billion parameter open hybrid mixture-of-experts model with 12 billion active parameters per forward pass. The model is specifically optimized for agentic and multi-agent AI systems, featuring a 1-million token context window and claiming 5x faster inference speeds compared to previous generations. This release reflects NVIDIA's strategic push beyond hardware into foundation models, competing directly with other AI leaders in the open-weights space. The model targets enterprise deployments requiring complex reasoning and extended context handling for autonomous agent workflows—a capability gap that many companies are now racing to fill.
