Every enterprise leader has seen the pattern: a proof-of-concept AI tool that impresses in the demo and then three months later, it’s hemorrhaging accuracy, choking on edge cases, and nobody can explain why it fails one day and then works fine the next. This is the legacy of “vibe coding“, the practice of developing AI…

The North American operations team started feeding shipment data, carrier metrics, delay reports, and exception notes into various AI tools (some enterprise-licensed, others personal accounts) to generate faster predictions and better handling guidance. Early results were impressive. …
Offensive security has spent years caught between two extremes: deeply manual penetration tests that do not scale, and automated scanners that scale easily but surface volumes of low-confidence findings.

If you’ve ever stared at a blank screen, attempting to translate a great idea into a functioning app, you’re not the only one. I recently came across Emergent AI and was thoroughly impressed. In minutes, I went from describing a travel planner app for digital nomads to a fully functioning app with interactive maps and…
The Model Context Protocol just got its first official extension, and it changes what AI assistants can do. MCP Apps lets tools return interactive user interfaces—dashboards, forms, visualizations, checkout flows—that render directly inside the conversation rather than as text responses.
