QCon AI New York 2026, on December 15 and 16, has confirmed talks from engineers on running AI in production. Topics include code arriving faster than it can be reviewed, rising token costs, evals reliable enough to act on, and permissions and guardrails for agents.
Clueso raised a $10 million Series A led by Dharana Capital for AI agents that script, record and maintain corporate videos, bringing its total funding to $12 million. It faces London's Synthesia, valued at $4 billion in January.
Studio ArtCraft, which already released a free recoded Adobe suite, has put out equivalents of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The software was built with Claude Code, Anthropic's AI development tool.
American Express is rolling out a framework meant to ensure AI agents only buy what their users have approved. As AI-driven shopping grows, the aim is to avoid costly mistakes and payment disputes.
Workday is opening up its platform so developers can build their own HR and finance agents with outside tools such as Claude Code. The move turns the software vendor's data into a resource for third-party AI agents rather than only its own interface.
Workday has made Sana, its AI assistant, the new home screen for its HR, finance and IT software. The company relies on TypeSafe's Jev model to generate user interfaces on demand.
