Random Labs launches Slate V1, claiming the first 'swarm-native' coding agent

Y Combinator-backed startup Random Labs has officially launched Slate V1, described as the industry’s first "swarm native" autonomous coding agent designed to execute massively parallel, complex engineering tasks.

Emerging from an open beta, the tool utilizes a "dynamic pruning algorithm" to maintain context in large codebases while scaling output to enterprise complexity. Co-founded by Kiran and Mihir Chintawar in 2024, the company aims to bridge the global engineering shortage by positioning Slate as a collaborative tool for the "next 20 million engineers" rather than a replacement for human developers.

Perplexity takes its ‘Computer’ AI agent into the enterprise, taking aim at Microsoft and Salesforce

Perplexity, the AI-powered search company valued at $20 billion, announced on Wednesday at its inaugural Ask 2026 developer conference that its multi-model AI agent, Computer, is now available to enterprise customers — a move that transforms the three-year-old startup from a consumer search disruptor into a direct competitor to Microsoft, Salesforce, and the legacy enterprise software stack that underpins corporate America.

Microsoft announces Copilot Cowork with help from Anthropic

This morning, Microsoft announced "Copilot Cowork" a new cloud-based AI agentic automation tool within Microsoft's existing AI tool 365 Copilot, except now it can complete work on users' behalf across many Microsoft apps, instead of contained within each one. If it sounds suspiciously similar to Anthropic's own "Claude Cowork" applications for Mac and Windows (released in January and February of 2026, respectively) that's to be expected — as Microsoft and Anthropic worked together on this new feature.

Google Workspace CLI brings Gmail, Docs, Sheets and more into a common interface for AI agents

Google Workspace — the umbrella term for Google's suite of enterprise cloud apps including Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, Admin — is moving into that pattern with a new CLI that lets them access these applications and the data within them directly, without relying on third-party connectors.

The project, googleworkspace/cli, describes itself as “one CLI for all of Google Workspace — built for humans and AI agents,” with structured JSON output and agent-oriented workflows included.

OpenAI launches GPT-5.4 with Pro and Thinking versions

On Thursday, OpenAI released GPT-5.4, a new foundation model billed as “our most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.” In addition to the standard version, GPT-5.4 is also available as a reasoning model (GPT-5.4 Thinking) or optimized for high performance (GPT-5.4 Pro).

The API version of the model will be available with context windows as large as 1 million tokens, by far the largest context window available from OpenAI.

Claude Code Skills Just Got a MASSIVE Upgrade

Anthropic just released the Skill Creator—a brand new tool that lets you test, benchmark, and optimize your Claude Code skills using plain language. In this video, I break down everything you need to know about the tool:

• Skill Types Explained: A clear breakdown of the two main types of skills: capability uplift vs. encoded preference, and how we eval each one.
• What the Skill Creator buys us: A look at how the tool fixes these problems using evals, blind A/B testing, and description optimization.
• Workflow Demo: A step-by-step walkthrough where I build a skill from scratch and run an eval.
