Big tech companies made important deals this week to add AI agents to their work. Apple is thinking about buying Perplexity AI, a company that makes smart search tools. This could help Apple stop using Google so much. The deal might be worth $14 billion, which would be Apple's biggest buy ever. This shows Apple really wants to get better at artificial intelligence.

In factory news, Nvidia and Foxconn are talking about using walking robots that look like people. These humanoid robots would work at a new factory in Houston, USA. They could build computer parts faster and cheaper than human workers. This kind of robot helper is becoming popular because many places can't find enough workers.

Uber announced it will use Meta's AI tools to quickly label huge amounts of information. This labeling helps Uber's cars and delivery systems learn better routes and services. Faster labeling means Uber's services can improve quicker, which is good for people who use ride-sharing or food delivery.

A new company called Multiplier Holdings came out this week with $27.5 million. Their plan is to buy companies that do office work and then put AI automation in them. This means they'll use computer programs to handle boring tasks like paperwork so humans don't have to. It's a new way of running businesses with robot helpers doing regular jobs.

New numbers show how big AI has become. Almost 97 million people around the world now work with artificial intelligence tools. That's like the whole population of Germany working in this field! Also, 83% of companies say AI is their most important project. In America alone, the AI business is worth about 74 billion dollars and keeps growing fast.

All these changes mean AI agents are becoming common in different jobs - from building things in factories to answering customer questions. As more companies use these smart helpers, they're changing how work gets done worldwide.
