Discover how AIR empowers safer AI agents with continuous skill vetting.
AIR has raised $50M to tackle a question every company will soon face: which AI agents are running, and can you trust what they're using? The platform discovers those agents, continuously vets their skills and add-ons, and blocks unwanted behavior. That's the kind of guardrail the moment demands. As more teams deploy autonomous tools, like the orchestration work Google recently open-sourced with AX, staying accountable becomes the real differentiator. This funding says oversight isn't optional; it's the next step in responsible AI adoption.

Capital One's open-weight models power a scalable multi-agent AI platform
Capital One isn't waiting for a better off-the-shelf model. At VB Transform 2026, Kel Vanee described how the bank built a multi-agent platform by deeply customizing open-weight models with proprietary data, treating that data as an advantage no frontier model can match. The approach scales beyond one use case, lifting performance across the portfolio. It's a practical blueprint for financial services, and for readers exploring how AI agents handle complex workflows, our related piece on bridging retrieval and action offers a useful parallel.
1 billion conversations show how voice is reshaping data interaction
Google's Gemini app just crossed 1 billion users, and the numbers behind that milestone are worth sitting with. Nearly two-thirds of those people are talking to the assistant directly, using voice rather than typing. That's a signal that conversational interaction is becoming the default, not the novelty. Gemini also generates over 150 million images daily, which shows how deeply creation is woven into the experience. It's a clear sign that AI is moving from background tool to active partner.
