Laverty's social media agent started randomly deleting his posts. One founder's attention span is shrinking from constantly switching between coding ideas - he compared it to 'TikTok for work.'

Agentic payments is very early, and we still are figuring out the best way to structure these. So our team just came up with what we thought was the most elegant, minimal, efficient protocol that anyone can extend without our permission.

I sat down on the couch in my sweatpants, and just basically melted into [it] the whole weekend, probably almost 48 hours straight. About three weeks ago, an X post praising NanoClaw from famed AI researcher Andrej Karpathy went viral. About a week ago, Cohen closed down his AI marketing startup to focus full-time on NanoClaw and launch a company around it called NanoCo.

Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.

Personal Computer will run 24/7 on a dedicated device on your local network, have full access to your files and apps, and be controllable from anywhere and on any device, Perplexity said. That deeper access makes it a more personalized version of a similar product Perplexity launched last month, Perplexity Computer, a cluster of agents it described as a "general-purpose digital worker."

Amazon has "provided strong evidence" that Perplexity's Comet browser accesses user accounts "without authorization" from the retail giant. Amazon sued Perplexity in November, alleging that it "repeatedly requested" that the AI startup stop letting its agents buy products for customers, accusing Perplexity of "intruding" into its marketplace and user accounts with Comet's agentic shopping feature, in violation of computer fraud and abuse laws.

We really believe right now is an inflection point. The inflection point for us is Copilot taking on these agentic capabilities and going from assistance to real doing. Spataro said that Copilot Cowork uses Anthropic's Claude model as the AI powering its reasoning and uses the same agentic harness—the system that allows the AI model to use other software tools and the guardrails around how it functions.

We are going to move from a smartphone-centric, app-centric digital ecosystem to an agent center. The agent becomes the center. They don't only respond to you. They observe, they interpret, they act. In place of the current approach, where the user initiates everything via a specific application, future technology will be more geared toward enabling agents and tasks.
