Congrats to Navier AI on their $5.6M seed! Engineering has undergone two major shifts: CAD replaced manual drafting (1960s), then simulation enabled virtual testing (1990s). Navier introduces the third: Agent-Driven Engineering (ADE). Their AI agents automate repetitive workflows between design and engineering, enabling teams to triple output and compress...

Congrats to Eloquent AI on their $7.4M seed! Traditional agentic systems require engineering teams to build APIs—work that sits in long IT backlogs. Eloquent's AI operators learn from screen recordings and then execute complex financial workflows without APIs or engineering lift, resulting in 96% automation of regulated workflows, 5x lower cost, and minutes instead of hours for multi-party processes.

The best way to learn AI is to build with agents. To help with that, we've launched hands-on labs and a new series on Agentic Engineering. First topic: Agent Skills. Next in the pipeline: planning, context engineering, multi-agent systems, long-running agents,.. Go build!

Today we’re shipping new capabilities that make Resolve AI the platform where engineering teams run and fix production software with AI agents. New capabilities include background agents that run operational tasks, new agent architecture that delivers 2x investigation quality, new agent capabilities like governed actions, and new ways to work with agents in UI or terminal. With Resolve AI engineering teams can: - Delegate on-call to agents - Co-work with agents to resolve incidents - Run operational tasks with background agents.

CONTEXT ENGINEERING > PROMPT ENGINEERING Everyone is obsessed with writing better prompts. The next generation of AI builders is focused on context engineering instead. • Prompt engineering shapes the question. Context engineering shapes everything the AI sees. • Great prompts can't save an agent missing critical context, memory, or tools. • AI failures often come from missing information, not weak models. • Context engineering combines prompts, memory, RAG, state management, and tool access into one system. What powers effective AI agents? → Memory: Remembers preferences, past interactions, and ongoing tasks. → State Management: Tracks progress across multi-step workflows. → RAG: Retrieves only the most relevant information when needed. → Tools: Connects AI to APIs, databases, code execution, and real-world actions. → Dynamic Prompts: Enriches instructions with live context at runtime. The key insight: Prompt Engineering = Better Questions Context Engineering = Better Systems The future of AI isn't building smarter prompts. It's building smarter environments for AI to think, remember, retrieve, and act.
