Why Custom Route Optimization Software Outperforms Generic TMS Logic

Most logistics companies running fleet routing and scheduling software already know, at some level, that the routing output is not quite right. Not wrong in ways that cause obvious failures - just consistently suboptimal in ways that dispatchers compensate for manually, shift after shift. A fleet with mixed vehicle classes that the engine treats as equivalent. Delivery windows that get re-optimised at dispatch and then fall apart when a customer calls at 10 a.m. to reschedule. Hazmat constraints encoded as exclusion zones rather than permit-specific corridor logic. These are not edge cases.

Top AI Agent Development Companies for Enterprise Automation in 2026

The era of chatbots has come to an end. In 2026, the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents has arrived. Enterprise companies look for AI automation agents. The AI agent market is projected to rise from $11.7 billion in 2026 to $236 billion by 2034. AI agents for automation are tools that can help companies automate their workflows. They can automate repetitive actions within the company's structure, so the team can focus more on strategic planning.

7 Best AI Search Tools Across Slack, Google Drive, and GitHub That Flag Stale Docs

An authoritative-looking snippet can be poisonous if it's two versions behind. A Gartner CX survey found that 56 percent of users complain about outdated documentation, and a 2026 Support Ops study attributes nearly 40 percent of tickets to articles that are stale or unclear. If a deployment script changes yet the old README still ranks first in Slack, you can lose an afternoon chasing errors. Multiply that across every lapsed policy, pricing deck, or support macro, and productivity shrinks-along with audit scores and customer trust.

Telemetry Talks ep. 5 - OpenTelemetry in the AI agents era

Telemetry Talks explores how OpenTelemetry’s CNCF graduation arrives at a pivotal moment for AI-powered development. Together with Alex Marshalov, we dive into vibe coding, AI agents, and the growing need for observability in GenAI systems — from prompts and token usage to reasoning chains and distributed traces — using the VictoriaMetrics stack and OpenTelemetry as the foundation for understanding the next generation of autonomous software.

Why We Built Lynx: Bringing Control to the Age of AI Agents

For a decade, one idea has guided everything we’ve built at Tigera: How do you secure a dynamic system with a lot of moving parts that is changing rapidly, with a programmatic approach? Calico has applied that idea for Global 2000 companies running the largest Kubernetes platforms in the world, securing tens of millions of mission-critical transactions every day. Today I’m excited to announce the next chapter of that work: Lynx, a unified control plane for Kubernetes-native AI agents.

AI Agents Are the New Employees: The Identity & Security Crisis Enterprise IT Must Solve

As AI agents become more autonomous, enterprises face a new challenge: How do you secure a workforce that isn't human? In this episode of Agents of IT, Fran Fernandez, Zach Austin, and Ian Coppock explore the growing identity and security challenges surrounding Agentic AI. From permissions and governance to digital identities and access controls, the team breaks down what enterprise leaders need to know before deploying AI agents at scale.

Why Multi-Agent AI Workflows Need a Control Plane

AI is transforming how infrastructure and platform teams design, deploy, and operate systems. As organizations move from experimentation to production, a clear pattern is emerging. AI can decide what should change, but it cannot safely control how those changes are executed. This creates a gap in modern architectures. That gap is filled by a control plane. That control plane already exists in Puppet Enterprise Advanced.
