This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents changing how businesses work. Companies are putting billions of dollars into smart robot helpers that can make decisions on their own.

Figure AI, a company that builds human-like robots, just got over $1 billion in funding. This money will help them create robots that can work alongside people in offices and factories. Meanwhile, UBTECH got $1 billion to build a huge robot factory in the Middle East.

UiPath, a major automation company, showed off new AI agents at their big meeting in Las Vegas. These digital helpers can do complex tasks without humans telling them what to do every step of the way. CData also launched a new platform called Connect AI that lets AI agents safely access company data from over 300 different business systems.

The biggest change is happening in regular office work. JPMorgan Chase bank is now using AI agents to catch fraud and read legal papers. About 78% of business leaders think that in the next few years, computer systems will need to work with AI agents just like they work with people.

Google and other tech companies are building AI systems that can control multiple robots working together. This could change how factories and warehouses operate. At the same time, no-code platforms are making it easier for regular workers to create their own AI helpers without knowing how to program.
