AI agents used to answer questions and draft documents. Now they get goals, tools, credentials, and more and more often, the ability to pay for things along the way. That brings a new kind of financial risk, which I’ll call autonomous financial drift. It rarely starts with a dramatic theft or one giant purchase. It … Read more
For decades, desktop security has run on a simple deal. An app asks for permission, you click Allow, and the OS makes sure the app stays inside the lines. That deal is starting to crack. AI agents don’t just run. They plan, chain tools together, interpret fuzzy instructions, and act across apps. So when Apple … Read more
Most automation tools ask you to build a workflow first. You drag boxes around, connect triggers, and debug why step four never fires. Gemini Spark works differently. You describe the job in plain English, tell it when to run, and it gets on with it. Below are seven automations you can set up today. Each … Read more
If you opened Gemini recently and couldn’t find Spark, relax. Google renamed it Task. Your existing tasks and schedules are still in the sidebar, and you now reach the feature through a Chat and Task toggle next to the prompt box. Before Now Name Gemini Spark Task Where it lives A separate Spark area A … Read more
Most AI tools wait for you to ask a question. Gemini Spark is built to take a job off your plate instead. Google calls it a 24/7 personal AI agent inside the Gemini app, and it’s getting attention because it can keep working while your laptop is shut and your phone is locked. This guide … Read more
AI coding agents are changing how developers build software. But as these agents become more autonomous, one question becomes increasingly important: where does the agent actually run? That is where the difference between Coder Agent Relay vs Coder Agents becomes interesting. Coder’s Agent Relay connects cloud-hosted coding agents such as Cursor Cloud Agents to self-hosted … Read more
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, describing it as its most intelligent and aligned model yet. But the interesting part isn’t simply that Astra can answer questions better. The bigger change is that Astra is designed to do things. It can work across browsers, codebases, professional software and multi-step workflows rather than simply giving you instructions. … Read more
An AI-assisted cyberattack has raised a worrying question for security teams: how quickly could AI agents help an attacker move from an initial foothold to deep access across an enterprise network? In a recent Unit 42 investigation, Palo Alto Networks reported that an attacker used frontier AI and agentic AI frameworks to compress an intrusion … Read more
AI agents are changing the way people use the internet. They can browse websites, interact with forms, call APIs, log into systems, and perform tasks with very little human involvement.That is useful when the agent is legitimate. But the same capabilities can become a serious security problem when an attacker uses an AI agent to … Read more
Ransomware attacks have always depended on speed. The faster an attacker can understand a network, find valuable credentials and move toward critical systems, the less time defenders have to react.Now, AI agents could make that process significantly faster. A recent investigation by Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 found an attacker using frontier AI and agentic … Read more
