Writer, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup, is launching a unified AI agent platform designed to let any employee automate complex business workflows without writing code — a capability the company says distinguishes it from consumer-oriented tools like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT.The platform, called Writer Agent, combines chat-based assistance with autonomous task execution in a single interface. Starting Tuesday, enterprise customers can use natural language to instruct the AI to create presentations, analyze financial data, generate marketing campaigns, or coordinate across multiple business systems like Salesforce, Slack, and Google Workspace—then save those workflows as reusable "Playbooks" that run automatically on…

Source: Getty Images We are not advocates of executing people in cruel and unusual ways here on Futurism, but we have to admit we are intrigued by this astronomer’s proposal of launching bad people into the Sun. Of course, as the associate professor of astronomy at Monash University Michael JI Brown explains: the concept “sounds easy enough,” but “may be harder than you think.” And the reasons why are fascinating — at least from a perspective of physics, rather than criminal justice. First, the rocket carrying our hypothetical villain deserving of a dramatic demise…

The iQOO 15 became official last month, and back in August we heard that it would eventually be joined by an iQOO 15 Mini device, which was supposed to have a 6.3″ flat screen with average bezel size and an embedded ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. There would also be a 7,000 mAh battery keeping the lights on. That all sounds pretty nice, but according to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, iQOO has ceased development of the iQOO 15 Mini. If this pans out, then the iQOO 15 is only going to be joined by the iQOO 15 Ultra (which may be…

It’s similar to the Amazon Web Services outage in October 2025 that took down what felt like half of the internet, stopping internet users from accessing Snapchat, Disney+, Venmo, and Canva, among scores of other sites.

Task Manager is one of the oldest and most important parts of Microsoft’s Windows operating system. First debuting in 1995’s release of Windows NT 4.0, Task Manager has, over the years, evolved into a powerful tool for monitoring PC stats in real time. With Windows 8 in 2012, the feature was massively improved upon with new additions and better data organization, and, as of Windows 11 version 22H2, it has been beautified with a modern design language, dark mode and accent color theming, and other enhancements. For the average Windows PC user, Task Manager might appear daunting on the surface,…

In what appeared to be a bid to soak up some of Google's limelight prior to the launch of its new Gemini 3 flagship AI model — now recorded as the most powerful LLM in the world by multiple independent evaluators — Elon Musk's rival AI startup xAI last night unveiled its newest large language model, Grok 4.1.The model is now live for consumer use on Grok.com, social network X (formerly Twitter), and the company’s iOS and Android mobile apps, and it arrives with major architectural and usability enhancements, among them: faster reasoning, improved emotional intelligence, and significantly reduced hallucination…

At the end of my Wicked: For Good screening, when the lights came up, there was hardly any mascara left on everyones’ eyelashes. The second half of director Jon M. Chu’s Oztastic vision is an emotional rollercoaster in entirely new ways, and for me, it’s completely defied expectations (see what I did there?).The second half of the movie-musical was always going to be the more difficult half to adapt.…

Poe, Quora’s app that brings together different AI models into one platform, is launching group chat functionality. The company announced on Monday that users worldwide will be able to start group chats with up to 200 other people, then collaborate across more than 200 AI models — including text, image, video, and audio generators — within a single conversation. The launch comes just days after OpenAI’s ChatGPT began piloting group chats in markets like Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. The move could potentially transform the chatbot from a one-on-one AI interaction into a collaborative space where users can…

Data is the beating heart of any modern enterprise, forming the foundations of digital sovereignty, scalability and customer trust.Businesses around the world know this – what they don’t know is that this data could be taken out of their control at any moment.Sergio GagoSocial Links NavigationWhen a company signs the terms and conditions of their cloud provider, they often unknowingly sign away true autonomy over their data.
