RapidCanvas raised $29 million to develop custom AI applications for enterprises. The Series B was led by Vertex Ventures SEA & India and follows a $16 million investment in 2024. The funding will go toward growing its go-to-market and AI engineering teams as it scales its enterprise AI platform for production use.
Veeam launched Veeam Intelligent ResOps (iResOps) to combine security with data resilience for agentic AI workloads and enable file-by-file rollback of agent changes in Microsoft 365. The first generally available iResOps workload is Microsoft 365. The approach shifts recovery from backup-only or breach-focused playbooks to continuous “assume drift” operations built around data understanding and reversible change tracking.
Paula Schneider said women going through perimenopause and menopause often need to see five or six doctors to piece together their symptoms because women’s midlife care lacks coordination.
Itaú is building generative AI for its customers and employees using a conversational interface called ia.i and its IARA governance platform. The rollout is tied to its AI First strategy. This changes how Itaú will deliver and manage generative AI in a highly regulated industry.
Australia’s government introduced reforms aimed at tackling harmful social media recommender systems, including an algorithm switch that lets users stop recommended content. The Digital Duty of Care bill could impose fines up to A$100m (about £52m) for breaches. Platforms would be required to offer an obvious, user-controlled opt-out of recommended feeds and face stronger legal responsibility for creating a safer online environment.
Enterprise leaders say synthetic data’s adoption is lagging because only some teams trust its output quality. Only 34% of leaders believe synthetic data preserves referential integrity, and 66% of software leaders say they aren’t using it for development and testing. Adoption is likely to increase only if synthetic datasets consistently maintain cross-system relationships and realism as underlying schemas change.
Glassdoor President says job seekers face a hiring process that often goes nowhere and introduces Glassdoor Recruiter to help people find better role matches. Only 96% of people who changed jobs last year did so without a recruiter reaching out, and the company argues AI used to expand applications makes the situation worse. The search is set to move from large application funnels to a smaller, insights-based set of roles and more two-way visibility between candidates and employers.
Physical AI cost estimates for robots vary widely because they depend on how many productive hours the robot can reliably run in real operations rather than just theoretical per-hour operating cost. Agility Robotics reported in its filing that its Digit robots logged more than 65,000 hours across nine customer sites and it estimated its next robot’s cost model at roughly $400,000 over a five-year life. The industry focus shifts from selling robots by sticker/hour cost to selling labor-as-a-service outcomes priced on completed work, with economics driven by uptime and utilization.
Anthropic’s early backer predicts the company’s IPO would price shares far below its stated target and value the company above SpaceX’s first-day market cap. The investor expects pricing at around $1.8 trillion and a post-IPO trading value of about $2.3 trillion to $2.4 trillion. The focus shifts to enterprise AI budgeting as lower unit prices from open models may still coincide with rising total spend, implying CFOs will face ongoing cost-accounting and adoption-driven pressure rather than simple savings.
Sequence, a UK fintech that uses AI to automate billing, payments, and revenue management for startups, was acquired by Intuit. The reported deal value is around $200m. The exit ends Sequence’s independent operations and folds its product into Intuit’s business software suite.
Tech companies are building internal “vibe-coding” apps for non-engineers instead of relying only on third-party prototyping tools. Stripe’s Harbor, described as an AI-assisted prototyping tool, was built by a single engineer in around six weeks. As a result, these tools get wider adoption inside companies and some are being launched externally (like Ramp’s Glass) while also training engineers on maintaining AI infra.
Legora and Harvey launched nearly identical products called “Intake” within a day of each other, both aimed at in-house legal teams. Harvey made its release the day after Legora, and the overlap includes capturing legal requests and turning them into tracked tasks for lawyer review. The result is heightened scrutiny and faster competition as both startups push to win corporate legal departments rather than law firms.
