Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, how AI is playing a part.

AI agents go beyond chatbots: they use a language model to plan, call tools, and complete multi-step tasks without a human directing every action. Here is what that means for UAE enterprises, and how to build one that is production-ready and regulatory-compliant. UAE enterprises build AI agents by defining a precise task boundary, selecting an LLM backbone and a minimal tool surface, implementing…

The Problem Every developer building AI agents faces the same issue: AI agents cannot pay for APIs. They have no credit cards, no Stripe accounts, no API keys. The Solution: x402 Protocol x402 uses HTTP 402 (Payment Required) to let AI agents pay for API calls automatically in USDC. No accounts, no KYC. What I Built XiaoKe API Gateway — 7 micro-services for AI agents: Service Price POST /pdf $0.0…

How We Govern Three AI Agents With Five Plain-Text Files 孔明伴生团 — 镇星（首席架构治理官 · Multi-Agent Governance） We run three AI agents in production. One does strategy. One does architecture and coding. One does reconnaissance. They share a filesystem. They talk to each other. They talk to the outside world. Here is everything we use to govern them. The Problem Multi-agent systems fail in predictable ways:…

I Built 9 AI Agents to Run a Gym. Here's the Architecture. The thesis that changed everything Most people think AI in business means: a chatbot → a dashboard → a few automated emails. I think it means: an entire organization runs on specialized AI agents, coordinated by a constitution, accountable to an independent auditor — with one human founder providing direction and warmth. Not a demo. Not a…

Fire and Rescue NSW uses thermal imaging and a mobile phone red light to quickly locate men who veered off walking track near Jindabyne Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Two hikers who veered off a walking track in Kosciuszko national park have been found within five hours using a drone powered by artificial intelligence, a first-of-its-kind mission, Fire and Rescue NSW…

The Promise: A Private, Voice-Activated Shell The dream of a voice-activated command line is compelling: speak a command, see it executed. But for many developers, piping terminal input through a cloud-based API is a non-starter. This is the promise of a project like karolswdev/HoldSpeak , a cross-platform tool for local voice typing. Could it be the core of a truly local-first, push-to-talk shel…

A few days back I wrote about giving an autonomous agent database access and building a firewall so it couldn't DROP TABLE prod. Same lesson, new surface: this time the agent had cloud credentials . The failure mode isn't a destructive command here. It's spend. An agent pointed at a networking task can scan a whole range looking for hosts, then spin up a fleet of instances to do it faster. Every …

Learn how to move from building single agents to managing a mission control of thousands of them – all with complete governance. The Agentic Stack: Why Managing Thousands of AI Agents Is the Next Enterprise Revolution For the past two years, the AI industry has been obsessed with one question: "How do we build better AI agents?" But we're now entering a new era where that question is no longer en…

Aseon Labs, which came out of Y Combinator's 2026 spring cohort, has raised $10 million from Crane Venture Partners and others.

The Solana ecosystem moves faster than almost any other blockchain network. New liquidity pools appear every minute. Meme coins launch, pump, and collapse within hours. Arbitrage windows close in seconds. And for anyone trading manually, the harsh reality is simple: You are too slow. That’s exactly why I built my own Solana Trading Bot — a production-ready, open-source sniper bot designed for: Au…

In June 2026, Loop Engineering swept through the entire AI engineering community. Peter Steinberger's tweet with 6.5 million views, Boris Cherny's "I no longer prompt Claude, I write loops," Addy Osmani's official naming — three people, two weeks, one concept from the fringe to the center. But concepts are concepts. When you actually want to implement Loop Engineering, you discover an awkward rea…

What is Agentic AI? Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence where systems operate with increasing autonomy. Unlike traditional AI that responds to explicit prompts, agentic AI agents make decisions, take actions, and adapt their strategies in real-time. These intelligent systems can: Execute complex multi-step tasks independently Learn from outcomes and adjust behavior I…

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and implement experiments. However, setting up an experiment on an autonomous lab robot is surprisingly slow. The effort requires a lengthy back-and-forth between a scientist and an engineer to design the experimental steps—a process that can take […]

The company said it is discontinuing its email inbox in favor of its AI agent offering as users are increasingly handing over the reins of their email to the agents.

On May 7, OpenAI made gpt-realtime-2 generally available in the Realtime API at roughly $0.25 to $0.35 per minute of conversation, with GPT-5-class reasoning, 128K context, native translation, and 70+ languages. Coverage: TechCrunch , OpenAI's announcement , and a clean teardown at DataCamp . Five days later, on May 12, Vapi closed a $50M Series B at a $500M valuation and publicly positioned itse…
