Kore.ai on Wednesday launched what amounts to a ground-up reinvention of its core technology: the Artemis edition of its Agent Platform , a system designed to let enterprises build, govern, and optimize AI agents using AI itself — compressing what has traditionally been months of engineering work into days. The platform arrives at a moment when every major technology vendor — from Microsoft and Salesforce to Google and ServiceNow — is racing to become the default infrastructure for enterprise AI agents. Kore.ai's answer to that crowded field is a bet on neutrality, a proprietary intermediary language for defining agents, and a philosophy that AI, not human developers, should do most of the heavy lifting. "We're trying to change the paradigm about how people design, build, deploy and optimize agentic AI applications," Raj Koneru, the company's founder and CEO, told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead of the launch. "The whole theme that we are now coming out with is you do AI wi

- Spotify bets on taste as differentiator in the AI era
Spotify believes it will become much more profitable over the next four years by leveraging AI to build a "large taste model" that supports interactive sharing over passive listening.

Now, it wants to show Wall Street it can sustain and build on that momentum in the agentic era. Driving the news: Leaning into taste as a strategic differentiator will help the streaming giant create a stickier audio ecosystem and strike more partnerships that serve fans, executives told investors at an event in New York City on Thursday. The company unveiled a new "Reserved" ticketing service, in partnership with Live Nation, that sets aside concert tickets for premium subscribers.

Most enterprise AI tools sit outside the system of record. They generate code that compliance teams can’t audit and CIOs can’t deploy with confidence. Tribal works the other way: AI agents that operate inside the customer’s existing system of record. The metadata graph and every generated artifact live in the customer’s own system of record. Every change runs through the customer’s existing governance layer before it ships. The company closed a $10 million seed round to scale the approach. Team8 led, with DYDX Capital and angel investors from the Salesforce ecosystem joining. The funding goes into expanding to ServiceNow, SAP, NetSuite, and Workday, plus US hiring. Two early customers describe what changes when AI builds inside the system.
