Sellio launched as a customer support tool that consolidates live chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and email into one inbox. It offers a free test with 20,000 credits. The change is that AI agents trained on your docs handle support work and the platform adds tickets plus analytics.
Text-message-based AI agents are increasingly being packaged so people can text an assistant to remember context, connect to other apps, and carry out tasks like scheduling, research, reservations, and reminders. Instinct’s latest funding round valued the company at $10 billion after raising $1 billion in September 2026. More personal- and family-focused assistants are rolling out across iMessage/RCS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and dedicated apps, with subscriptions and added autonomy features like agent email addresses and phone-call support.
Supabase raised $150 million and acquired the lightweight SQLite database company Turso to support A.I. agent use cases. The financing was led by Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC and added $150 million. Supabase plans to fund employee share sellout and new A.I.-agent features while expanding coverage from Postgres databases to disposable, instant databases backed by Turso.
Meta’s Muse, OpenAI’s Dots, and Uber’s driver assistant launched proactive AI agents that speak first to users with booking, monitoring, or marketplace advice. OpenAI’s Dots was announced on Sept 29 as part of a new $500 monthly tier. Proactive delivery shifts the main challenge from generating answers to deciding when, where, and whether to interrupt, using decision models that predict the value of sending a message versus the cost to the user.
IBM made IBM Bob’s agentic software development platform available as a generally available self-hosted deployment for on-premises, sovereign cloud, and air-gapped environments. Customers must source and license a supported model themselves, with NVIDIA Nemotron listed for self-hosted inference. This lets code and development context stay inside the customer network while only selected workloads can be routed to external models in hybrid setups.
A React component library was launched for animated AI agent status orbs, including states like thinking, searching, and compacting. It shows 27 followers on the launch page. As a result, developers can reuse these UI components as design resources for AI agent interfaces.
