This weekly update brings exciting news about business automation and AI agents. Companies around the world are spending more money on smart AI systems that can work by themselves.

A big research company called IDC said that agentic AI will take over 25% of all business technology spending by 2029. This means companies will spend $1.3 trillion on AI systems that can make decisions and complete tasks without human help.

Several major companies released new AI products this week. Broadcom announced new tools to help businesses transform using AI automation. HPE launched something called Mist Agentic AI that can fix network problems automatically. Hyland created two new AI systems called Enterprise Context Engine and Agent Mesh that help big companies automate their work better.

Microsoft also made big moves by creating their own AI models instead of just using OpenAI's technology. Their new speech AI can create one minute of audio in less than one second. This helps Microsoft's Copilot assistant work better in office programs.

The numbers show that automation really helps businesses. 94% of companies do boring, repetitive tasks that take too much time. When companies use automation, 90% of workers say their jobs get better and 66% become more productive. Many businesses are now using low-code platforms that let people create automation without being programmers.
