🦞 The New Workforce

Plus: Meta Sells an Optimistic Future, Hermes Weekly Showcase

Good Morning, Agent Owners!

The AI employee has arrived. Luckily, HR has no idea what to do yet.


The New Workforce

TL;DR: Late Checkout CEO Greg Isenberg predicts that within three years, AI agents will become ordinary coworkers, buyers, schedulers, recruiters, and even first-line medical advisers. Companies may employ more agents than people, workers will be judged by how well they manage them, and human-made products, human customer service, and verified personal work could become premium exceptions rather than defaults.

Meta Sells an Optimistic Future

TL;DR: Meta launched “The Future Is for Everyone,” a 45-second campaign arguing AI will strengthen human connection rather than weaken it. Mark Zuckerberg and other executives are framing Meta’s apps and new AI products as tools that expand agency and creativity, as the company prepares to defend its planned $135 billion AI investment ahead of quarterly earnings.

Microsoft Takes AI In-House

TL;DR: Microsoft launched MAI-Image-2.5-Pro for high-fidelity image generation, editing, and in-image text, plus MAI-Voice-2-Flash for fast, low-cost call centers and real-time voice agents. These in-house models now power products from Bing and PowerPoint to Dynamics 365. The company reports GPU cost reductions of up to 89% and is increasingly routing routine workloads away from frontier providers. Read more →


IBM Loses to AI Capex

TL;DR: IBM cut its 2026 revenue growth forecast to 4%–5% after customers redirected capital toward AI data-center infrastructure, delaying large software and mainframe deals. Second-quarter revenue and profit missed estimates, while Z mainframe sales plunged 42%. CEO Arvind Krishna said much of the demand was deferred rather than lost, with some delayed deals already closing this quarter. Read more →


Hermes Weekly Showcase

TL;DR: This week’s Hermes community showcase featured an Excel and Office plugin, full-duplex voice assistants, free web search, encrypted chat, plugin security scanning, shared long-term memory, multi-agent orchestration, and a complete e-commerce stack. Together, the projects show developers turning Hermes into a flexible platform for coding, automation, research, business operations, and personalized workflows across local and cloud setups.

OpenClaw Finds the Right Job

TL;DR: After a year away from work, a former data scientist turned OpenClaw into a twice-weekly job-search agent. Using Claude Opus 4.7, it autonomously scanned openings, ranked the best fits, tailored resumes, and drafted cover letters. Within a month, it found his dream role one day after posting, leading to an interview and offer, while final applications remained human-reviewed. Read more →


Coinbase Opens Agentic Payments

TL;DR: Coinbase is expanding its financial infrastructure for autonomous AI agents, letting businesses accept USDC through the x402 standard. It also launched AI trading tools for monitoring markets and executing preset actions, plus a developer kit for agent-powered apps. The move targets an emerging “agentic economy” where software, not humans, increasingly makes payments and manages financial tasks. Read more →
