This week in agent collaboration, there were exciting developments. Companies are creating AI agents that work together with humans to make tasks easier and faster. These agents are being used in many areas, including data science, banking, customer service, and defense.

Snowflake, a data company, launched a new Data Science Agent at the Snowflake Summit 2025. This agent helps data scientists by doing machine learning jobs automatically. It uses Claude LLMs from Anthropic to understand natural language commands. The agent can break down complex tasks into steps, making it easier to build machine learning models. This saves time and effort for data scientists.

In banking, two big banks in the USA started using AI agents. BNY Mellon has two agents: one that automatically patches system vulnerabilities (with human approval) and another that validates payment instructions. These agents help make the bank's systems safer and payments more accurate. JPMorgan Chase expanded its AI chatbot to 230,000 workers. The bank is also building agentic AI for specific job functions. This means different workers will have AI helpers designed for their exact jobs.

For customer service, Cisco introduced the Webex AI Agent. This agent works with human agents day and night. It answers common customer questions and does tasks without making people wait. It uses natural language and fits with Cisco's contact center. The agent can take actions to help customers right away. Five9 also added Agentic CX features to its Genius AI platform. These features let AI agents reason, adapt, and act to create smooth and smart customer experiences.

In defense, a company called HII and an AI company C3.ai are working together. They formed a strategic partnership to build AI solutions for the U.S. Navy. This will help the Navy use the latest AI technology for important missions. The partnership was announced on July 3 and is a big step for AI in defense.
