Agent Collaboration Weekly AI News

October 13 - October 21, 2025

This weekly update shows how AI agents are learning to work together like team members in companies around the world. These smart computer helpers are changing how businesses operate by talking to each other and sharing work.

Oracle made a big announcement about its AI Agent Studio and a new marketplace for AI agents. Think of this marketplace like a store where companies can pick different AI helpers that work together inside their business software. Oracle says these agents can do jobs like checking agreements between companies, creating sales orders, and managing purchase requests. What makes this special is that all these AI agents work in the same place, so they can share information easily.

More than 32,000 people have learned how to build AI agents using Oracle's tools. These trained experts help companies create AI agents that fit their exact needs. Oracle also added support for AI models from big names like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. This means companies can pick the best AI brain for each job.

Salesforce, a major business software company, launched something called Agentforce 360 on October 13. The company's boss, Marc Benioff, said we are entering the age of the "Agentic Enterprise". This means businesses where AI agents work alongside people instead of replacing them. Salesforce spent a whole year testing this idea and released it in four big updates.

The Agentforce 360 system connects people, AI agents, and company data all in one trusted place. It uses Slack as the main way for workers and AI agents to talk to each other. Workers can ask AI agents questions and get help right in their normal chat conversations. These AI agents work all day and night, so they never miss customer questions or sales chances.

In real companies using these systems, the results are impressive. Some businesses cut the time to handle insurance claims by 40 percent. One company that sells software online got 25 percent more customers after using AI agents for sales. In customer service, AI agents are handling entire cases from start to finish, including checking documents and making payouts.

IBM announced three new AI agents on October 16 that work with Oracle's system. The first agent automatically reviews agreements between different parts of the same company. The second agent helps create sales orders by filling in all the needed information. The third agent handles the complicated process of turning purchase requests into official contracts. IBM built these using Oracle's AI Agent Studio, so they work smoothly with Oracle's other tools.

IBM also said it will release more agents soon for human resources and supply chain work. These new agents will use IBM's watsonx Orchestrate technology, which helps multiple AI agents work together like a team with a supervisor. This is important because it lets AI agents from different companies cooperate even when they use different systems.

Google and Salesforce also announced they are working more closely together. This partnership means AI agents from both companies can share information and work as a team. Companies like PwC are building large networks of AI agents that work across different tasks and departments.

Experts are very excited about these changes but also warn about challenges. The World Economic Forum published a report saying that AI agents create something called "non-human identities". These are like digital passports that let AI agents access company systems. The problem is that hackers could steal these identities, so companies need to watch them carefully. Research firm Gartner named AI agents the top technology trend for 2025 and predicts that by 2028, 33 percent of business apps will have AI agents.

Companies in many industries are using AI agents that work together. In hospitals, AI agents help doctors diagnose patients and plan treatments. In factories, multiple robot agents coordinate to build products more efficiently. Self-driving cars use AI agents that make decisions about driving while talking to other cars and traffic systems. Banks use AI agents to watch for fraud and manage money automatically.

One expert from Constellation Research said that enterprise software with AI agents and marketplaces for sharing agents is becoming the leader in the market. Another expert from BCG found that companies using AI agents for IT help tickets can reduce manual work by up to 60 percent. In finance work, AI agents watching for problems cut risk events by 60 percent in test environments.

The big message from this week is that AI agents are becoming team players instead of solo workers. They share data, coordinate tasks, and help each other solve problems. Companies are building marketplaces and platforms where different AI agents can meet and collaborate. This teamwork approach helps businesses run faster, serve customers better, and let human workers focus on more important tasks.
