Highlights
The Agent Era Has Officially Begun
The biggest AI story wasn’t one model or feature; it was a platform shift. Across Microsoft Build, Google I/O and NVIDIA GTC, the message was clear: AI is moving from assistants that answer questions to agents that reason, plan and take action. Developers are getting new tools to build them, enterprises are getting platforms to manage them, and infrastructure providers are preparing to run them at massive scale. The next generation of software may be built around agents. Find the GTC and Build keynotes in the Videos section.
