Business Automation Weekly AI News

December 1 - December 9, 2025

This weekly update highlights major advances in business automation powered by AI agents. These smart computer programs are helping companies work faster and smarter by doing repetitive tasks automatically. AI agents are no longer experimental - they are now being used by real businesses to handle real work. In December 2025, companies like Cresta launched new tools to help other businesses figure out which jobs to give to AI agents. Big technology companies including Amazon Web Services, Google, and Microsoft created marketplaces in the middle of 2025 where businesses can find and use pre-made AI agents, making automation easier than ever before. This is exciting because what used to take months of special computer work can now happen in just one day. Small businesses are joining the automation trend too. More than one-third of small companies are already using AI and automation to handle extra work during busy times without hiring more people. Companies are also reporting big wins - one insurance company cut down the time it takes to process claims by 40 percent using AI agents. UiPath, a major company that makes automation software, just made its first real profit, showing that the automation business is becoming stronger and more important. The biggest change happening right now is that businesses are moving from testing AI agents to actually using them in their real work. About half of all big companies are already using AI agents in production, meaning these tools are handling important business tasks every single day.
