Spott has raised $3.2 million in seed funding to build an AI-native platform that promises to transform how recruitment agencies operate. The San Francisco-based startup announced the funding round today, led by Base10 Partners with participation from Y Combinator, Fortino, True Equity, and several angel investors. The capital injection follows Spott’s recent completion of Y Combinator’s…
Beyond single-model AI: How architectural design drives reliable multi-agent orchestration
May 26, 2025
We’re seeing AI evolve fast. It’s no longer just about building a single, super-smart model. The real power, and the exciting frontier, lies in getting multiple specialized AI agents to work together. Think of them as a team of expert colleagues, each with their own…
Microsoft just taught its AI agents to talk to each other—and it could transform how we work
May 20, 2025
Microsoft announced a significant expansion of its Copilot Studio platform at Build 2025 today, introducing multi-agent systems that allow different AI agents to collaborate on complex business tasks, along with new developer tools, security enhancements, and integration…
Former DeepSeeker and collaborators release new method for training reliable AI agents: RAGEN
April 24, 2025
2025 was, by many expert accounts, supposed to be the year of AI agents — task-specific AI implementations powered by leading large language and multimodal models (LLMs) like the kinds offered by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and DeepSeek.
But so far, most AI agents remain stuck as experimental pilots in a kind of corporate purgatory, according to a recent poll conducted by VentureBeat on the…
AI Agents Are Coming: Decoding Your Personality
February 17, 2025
When I was a kid there were four AI agents in my life. Their names were Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde and they tried their best to hunt me down. This was the 1980s and the agents were the four colorful ghosts in the iconic arcade game Pac-Man.
By today’s standards they…
Microsoft’s new AI agents support 1,800 models (and counting)
November 20, 2024
AI agents are the talk of the enterprise right now. But, business leaders want to hear about tangible results and relevant use cases — as opposed to futuristic, not-quite-there-yet scenarios — and demand tools that are easy to deploy and use and, further, that support…
Microsoft’s new Magnetic-One system directs multiple AI agents to complete user tasks
November 7, 2024
Enterprises looking to deploy multiple AI agents often need to implement a framework to manage them.
To this end, Microsoft researchers recently unveiled a new multi-agent infrastructure called Magnetic-One that allows a single AI model to power various helper agents that work together to complete complex, multi-step tasks in different scenarios. Microsoft calls Magnetic-One a generalist agentic…
AI agents must solve a host of tasks that require different speeds and levels of reasoning and planning capabilities. Ideally, an agent should know when to use its direct memory and when to use more complex reasoning capabilities. However, designing agentic systems that can…
Agentic AI: A deep dive into the future of automation
September 11, 2024
Beyond generative AI
The most transformative promise of AI has always been its potential for autonomy, to create systems that can act intelligently on their own without human supervision. However, this kind of “Agentic AI” has remained out of reach for most enterprise…
A new San Francisco startup, Skyfire, is launching today in beta with $8.5 million in seed round funding to become the “Visa for AI” by allowing you to equip autonomous AI agents made by other companies with your money and let them spend it while they go off on and work for you.
“We’re enabling is AI agents to be able to autonomously make payments, receive payments, hold balances,” said…
