Salesforce Koa brings focused AI reasoning to sales and support work
Salesforce just turned the enterprise AI conversation on its head. Koa, built on Nvidia's open-weight Nemotron model, is trained specifically for sales, marketing, and customer support. That focus is what makes it dangerous. General-purpose reasoning models chase breadth; Koa chases outcomes. It doesn't just answer questions, it acts on the workflows teams already live in. For AI labs betting on abstract intelligence, this is a wake-up call. Practical, task-driven reasoning wins. Curious how such systems are trained? Our guide to distributed algorithms covers the groundwork.
Meet your new AI assistant that manages emails, accounts, and tasks for you.
Instinct now lives in your inbox, and that is a bigger step than it sounds. The AI agent can create accounts, reach out to businesses, and handle support requests without you lifting a finger. We like this move because it shifts the assistant from a reactive tool into a proactive operator. It is practical, direct, and genuinely useful.

Five ways AI agents are streamlining complex workflows today
AI agents are no longer a concept for tomorrow. They are answering support tickets, writing code, managing supply chains, and flagging fraud today. The shift from static tools to autonomous action is real, and the examples here show how quickly that changes what a team can accomplish. If you want to see where this is headed, our guide to bridging retrieval and action offers a practical look at connecting the dots. The work is happening now, and it is worth your attention.
Feedly's slowdown traced to bug, not shift toward AI tools
Feedly's weeklong slowdown isn't a sign that its AI pivot backfired; it's a bug, plain and simple. For a tool many rely on daily, a nearly "unusable" web app stings, and the complaints about mobile apps and support only amplify the frustration. It's a reminder that even solid products stumble, but transparency about the cause matters. If you're tracking platform hiccups, our piece on Microsoft Excel's copy-paste break shows you're not alone in this messy moment.
Omilia secures $67M to expand AI-powered customer support solutions
Omilia has raised $67 million in a Series B round, its second fundraise since 2020, and the numbers tell a compelling story. The company's annual recurring revenue has grown 10x to $60 million in that span. That kind of growth signals real momentum in customer support, where AI is moving from novelty to necessity. We're watching a platform scale with purpose, not hype.
