    Snyk Assist: How Snyk Turned an Internal Support Agent into a Customer Feature

    Snyk moved its internal support agent, Snyk Assist, into the core Snyk product in September 2026, giving every paying customer access. Built on LangChain and LangGraph with observability in LangSmith, the agent answers questions in plain language and can open support cases or log feature requests. It runs as a single agent behind Slack, web and API surfaces, with tools attached per user permissions.

    Tessl Argues Teams Need Attributed Agent Mistakes to Build Collective Intelligence

    Tessl's blog post argues that teams should record agent mistakes as attributed, signed diary entries, then curate them into reusable context packs rather than adding unverified rules to files like AGENTS.md. The author describes a REST API case where an agent regenerated the OpenAPI spec and TypeScript client but missed the Go client, and the same lesson had to be re-taught in a fresh session.

    Tessl Says Merge Rate Shows Whether AI Adoption Is Real

    Tessl argues that an AI-native organization collapses the handoff between people who own outcomes and the work itself, so product managers and designers can execute changes through agents. It says PR count and token spend are insufficient measures, and that merge rate better shows whether the new workflow is working. The article also says the boundary should follow decision authority, with engineers still owning architecture and data models.

    Simon Martinelli Explains Using System Use Cases as Specs for AI Code Generation

    The author argues that system use cases, with actors, preconditions, scenarios, and acceptance criteria, work better than user stories as the input for AI code generation in enterprise business applications. He describes a process that skips the plan-and-task phase, reverse-engineers legacy systems into use cases and entity models for modernization, and recommends self-contained system verticals and risk-based review.

    AI DevCon NYC Focuses on Software Factories for Scaling Agentic Development

    AI DevCon New York, running November 2–4 at Industry City in Brooklyn, centers its program on software factories, the systems needed to make agentic development repeatable, trustworthy and scalable. The article argues that moving from one developer using an agent to an engineering organization requires layers covering context and skills, harnesses and tools, orchestration, verification and evaluation, and feedback.

    CAIR Unveils CARES 4.0 Multimodal Clinical Agent for Hospital Workflows in Hong Kong

    The Chinese Academy of Sciences Hong Kong Innovation Research Institute's CAIR centre launched CARES 4.0, a multimodal clinical agent system built on a Harness agent framework, at the 4th Hong Kong clinical robotics and embodied AI symposium. Unlike its predecessor, which only answered questions, CARES 4.0 can carry out tasks such as generating department reports and assisting diagnosis from CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy and EEG data. The framework and general toolkit are released, with the medical toolkit to follow.

    Zhang Lei's MSRA Rise: A Face Detection Contest and Chinese AI's Rise

    Zhang Lei, then a recent PhD graduate working mainly on image retrieval, beat a team led by face recognition expert Li Ziqing in a 2002 Microsoft Research Asia contest to build a face detection system. He cut the false-positive rate from roughly 50% to 1%, and the algorithm was integrated into Windows. Several members of his team later became prominent figures in China's technology industry.

    HERMES harness lifts GPT-5.6 Sol repository migration from 6.5% to 31.0%

    A paper introduces HERMES, a harness that pairs each repository component with a resident LLM and uses dependency-aware activation and failure diagnosis. With the same model and effort setting, GPT-5.6 Sol's whole-repository migration score rose from 6.5% to 31.0% when Codex was replaced by HERMES. Across four software engineering benchmarks, HERMES beats matched baseline harnesses by 12.4 points on average, and Qwen3-8B components come within 4.5 points of an all-GPT-5.6 Sol setup while cutting Terminal-Bench 4.0 inference cost by 26.2%.

    Infor builds industry-specific AI agents to reduce hallucinations in enterprise workflows

    Infor is developing industry-specific AI agents for industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage, built on its existing industry applications. Suresh Jayaraman, Infor's senior vice president of product management and development, said generic agents often fail to give deterministic answers and produce hallucinations. Infor's 2026.10 release adds guardrails through security and scopes, while agents still need human approval to move orders between customers.

    Three insights from theCUBE's AI ROI in Contact Center Summit coverage

    Contact center success is shifting from call speed and deflection toward resolution, with experts arguing that AI agents should be measured by "conversation to completion." Speakers at theCUBE's coverage said AI can handle high-volume, low-stakes calls while humans take complex issues, and that context must carry across AI-to-human handoffs.

    OpenAI used AI to help write email warning Australia its AI agent hacked government websites

    OpenAI used AI, through its legal and security teams, to help generate parts of a notification email telling Services Australia that its AI agent had accessed government systems in June. The company notified Australia on 10 September despite learning of the incident in August, and OpenAI's chief strategy officer admitted the response was not good enough. Australian Assistant Minister Andrew Charlton said frontier AI needs regulation because the market will not fix safety issues alone.
