🚨 Code for days without a human

Hey folks,

Google just made AI agents accessible to everyone with a Workspace account. Workspace Studio lets you build Gemini 3-powered agents in minutes. The "if this, then that" model connects Gmail, Chat, Drive, and external services like Jira, Salesforce, and Asana. Tell it "if an email contains a question for me, label it 'To respond' and ping me in Chat" and Gemini 3 handles the reasoning, identifying questions, extracting invoice numbers, analyzing sentiment. This is a big win for Google users as it brings agentic AI capabilities directly into Google Workspace.

Let's dive in..

🤖 AWS Kiro Codes For Days Without Human Intervention

🐝 The Buzz: AWS unveiled Kiro, an autonomous coding agent that can work independently for hours or days with minimal human intervention. Unlike existing copilots that assist with individual code completions, Kiro handles entire tasks from your backlog, triaging bugs, improving code coverage, working across multiple repositories simultaneously. Kiro also maintains persistent context across sessions, meaning it doesn't forget what it was working on.

• Spec-driven development: Kiro follows a unique approach where it instructs, confirms, or corrects assumptions with humans as it codes, creating specifications along the way. This means you're not handing off a task and hoping for the best.

• Three frontier agents: AWS released Kiro alongside two other agents. The Security Agent serves as a virtual security consultant for code reviews, and penetration testing. The DevOps Agent helps resolve and prevent incidents while continuously improving reliability and performance.

• Designed for autonomy: Frontier agents are fundamentally designed to work for hours and days. You're not giving them a problem that you want finished in the next five minutes. You're giving them complex challenges that they may have to think about, try different solutions, and get to the right conclusion.

💡 Takeaway: The shift from copilot to autonomous agent is accelerating. Kiro's persistent context architecture addresses the biggest limitation of current coding agents, memory loss across sessions. If your team is evaluating agentic coding tools, AWS just entered the conversation with production-ready infrastructure.

🚨 OpenAI Declares "Code Red" as Google Closes the Gap

🐝 The Buzz: OpenAI has declared an internal code red after Google's Gemini 3 topped benchmarks and surged to 650 million monthly active users. Sam Altman told staff the company would pause ChatGPT advertising, shopping features, health agents, and a personal assistant codenamed "Pulse" to focus on speed, reliability, and personalization. The competitive pressure is real: Google's AI Overviews now reach 2 billion monthly users.

• New model incoming: OpenAI is advancing a new large language model codenamed "Garlic," described internally as a direct response to Gemini 3 and Claude Opus 4.5. Early tests reportedly show Garlic outperforming both in coding and reasoning tasks. The plan is to ship as soon as it reaches acceptable stability, potentially as GPT-5.2 or GPT-5.5 early next year.

• Platform dynamics: Despite the competitive pressure, OpenAI maintains significant scale, $500 billion valuation and 800 million weekly ChatGPT users. But the growth rate differential matters: Gemini added 200 million monthly actives in five months while ChatGPT's weekly user count has plateaued. The platform race is tightening.

💡 Takeaway: The three-way race between OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic is red hot. For engineering teams, this means faster model releases, more aggressive pricing, and less lock-in risk. If you've been defaulting to one platform, the competitive dynamics suggest it's worth evaluating alternatives.

🎬 Runway Gen-4.5 tops every major video benchmark, and a 100-person startup just embarrassed trillion-dollar tech giants. The new model scored 1,247 on Video Arena's Elo leaderboard, pushing Google's Veo 3 to second place and OpenAI's Sora 2 Pro down to seventh.

🛒 AI drove 805% more traffic to retail sites on Black Friday, and it converted. Amazon's Rufus chatbot doubled conversion rates when used versus 20% lift without it. AI agents pushed $14.2 billion in global sales according to Salesforce, with AI-referred visitors 38% more likely to complete purchases.

📈 Anthropic is preparing a 2026 IPO that could beat OpenAI to public markets. Now valued at $350 billion after recent $5 billion Microsoft and $10 billion Nvidia investments, the Claude maker is set to begin work on what could be one of the largest tech IPOs ever.
