Wabi, the AI agent that builds mini apps, now valued at $1.25B after latest round
Founded by Eugenia Kuyda, who previously founded the AI companion startup Replika, Wabi originally focused on allowing anyone to build apps using prompts. Last month, however, the startup announced a pivot of sorts to become an AI messenger. The idea now is that the new Wabi — or Wabi 2.0, as it was called — could build the interfaces you need to get things done as part of its role as your personal AI agent. The company suggests Wabi could be used to build

DoorDash said it’s only received ‘several hundred’ orders from AI agents
Xu mentioned that users are still predominantly placing orders through DoorDash’s app. However, the company wants to learn more about agentic use cases and develop a healthy relationship with third-party agent makers. He added that, in the future, there could be an opportunity for it to advertise within these agents. DoorDash has its own agents, including a text-to-order agent it launched in September, a CLI agent introduced in July, and a chatbot called A

Zest’s new AI agent finds restaurants and books reservations over text
The launch reflects a broader shift in how startups are thinking about AI, as conversational AI agents take on tasks that had previously required users to launch stand-alone mobile apps. For Zest, that means bringing its restaurant recommendations into texts, then allowing users to immediately take the next step of booking a table. “The agent is the product now,” explains Zest founder and CEO Mario Gomez-Hall. “You text it, and it answers from your own his

Company A’s Ultra-Powerful Model Unveiled! Quantum Computing’s Holy Grail Cracked in Three Days, with Agent Harness Playing a Key Role
Xinzhiyuan reports Anthropic has another ace up its sleeve! History repeats itself: Claude's internal model cracks an 18-year-old bounty conjecture in quantum computing. In just three days, an unreleased Claude model solved theAaronson-Ambainis conjecture, which had remained unresolved since 2008! Netizens speculate that this internal model appears to be the unreleased model Claude Model 4. The theorem and corollary have been formalized in Lean, and the ex

Aina’s smart ring has a screen, a joystick, and a mic so you can talk to AI agents
The startup, which raised $5.5 million in July, is positioning the ring as a controller of sorts for both AI and non-AI apps. The company previously made Mirage, a three-key controller that let you invoke buttons based on the app on your Mac’s screen. For instance, if you were on a Google Meet call, you could map keys to camera on/off, mic mute/unmute, or to leave the meeting. Aina has baked in lessons from that device to create the new ring, which it’s si

Anthropic can’t reliably control its AI agents — it’s cutting off its internal evals from the live internet instead
The incidents, disclosed in a blog post, involved AI agents tasked to solve problems seeking resources on the internet. In the process, they exploited software flaws, accessed databases without paying fees, used URL-shortening services to smuggle information past restrictions, and even submitted a false murder tip to the Philadelphia police. Anthropic said it discovered these new issues in a review of its model’s activities that began in July, demonstratin

Almost no one uses AI agents to book their Uber, company says
While more people used an AI agent to order food through its delivery service, Uber Eats, the volume was still fairly small compared to the overall number of trips. Uber’s chief financial officer, Balaji Krishnamurthy, told Wall Street analysts on the call that the company handled around 320 million trips and orders across Uber and Uber Eats during the week of Halloween, but only 500 Uber Eats orders were placed by an AI agent. “It is very, very early and

Airbnb says it’s launching an AI travel agent in the first half of 2027
Chesky today reiterated that belief, telling analysts on the earnings call that people won’t use one AI agent for everything. “Today’s AI agents like Muse and Instinct are good at simple routine tasks like making a restaurant reservation or scheduling an appointment. But planning a trip is different,” he said. “Travel is aspirational. Discovering where to go and where to stay is part of the experience. In fact, 80% of travelers say they enjoy spending time

Palo Alto Networks in talks to buy AI agent security startup Clutch for $500M
Three-year-old Clutch was last valued at $85 million when it raised a $20 million Series A round in January 2025, led by Lightspeed and SignalFire, according to our source. The startup is currently approaching $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). That means the acquisition, if completed, would value Clutch at about 50 times its ARR, a standard way of pricing software companies. Palo Alto Networks and Clutch Security did not respond to a request f
