Agent Collaboration Weekly AI News

August 18 - August 26, 2025

This week brought major news about AI agents working together. Big tech companies are making it easier for different AI agents to collaborate and share tasks.

Oracle and Google Cloud announced a new partnership to help customers build smart AI agents. These agents can understand pictures, write code, and automate work tasks. The partnership starts with Google's Gemini 2.5 model running on Oracle's cloud computers.

Amazon also jumped into agent collaboration with AgentCore, a new toolkit for managing AI agents. This system helps agents remember things, manage who can access what, and work together safely. It connects with popular identity systems like Amazon Cognito and Microsoft tools.

A Chinese company called Zhipu AI created ComputerRL, a breakthrough system that lets AI agents control computers like humans do. The agents can click buttons, fill forms, and navigate software. In tests, these agents performed better than other AI systems, including those from OpenAI and Claude.

Two major companies, DXC Technology and Boomi, joined forces to help businesses adopt AI agents faster. They want to replace old computer systems with smart, agent-driven ones that can make decisions and work together without human help.

In legal work, experts discussed how AI agents need human partners to work well. These agents can handle many legal tasks automatically, but lawyers still need to check their work and guide them.

The financial industry is also embracing collaborative AI agents. Banks and investment firms are using agents that can make complex decisions and work with existing computer systems to serve customers better.

A big milestone happened when an AI agent called GARY received top security clearance from the U.S. Department of Defense. This means the government trusts AI agents enough to use them for sensitive military work.

Sales teams got new AI helpers when Outreach launched AI agents that can automatically find customers and send follow-up messages. These agents learn from sales data to help salespeople work more efficiently.
