    TOGETHER WITH [Orkes] [4]

    TLDR 2025-06-06

    AGENTIC AI IS CHANGING EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT PROCESS ORCHESTRATION
    - LEARN HOW (SPONSOR) [4]

    Traditional automation is no match for today's complexity. Agentic
    workflows [5]Äautonomous, goal-driven agents collaborating to
    achieve business goalsÄrequire more than prompt engineering. They
    need a powerful workflow engine to orchestrate tasks, decisions, and
    outcomes at scaleÄwith humans in the loop when it matters most. .

    The latest webinar by Orkes [4] explored how combining agentic AI and
    process orchestration [4]can enable businesses to integrate AI-driven decision-making, streamline workflows, and scale with ease. Tune in to
    learn:

    * Why traditional rules-based systems (such as Appian/Pega) fall
    short
    * How AI-driven decision-making transforms workflows by enhancing adaptability
    * Practical use cases, from supply chain to financial services to healthcare.

    AMAZON `TESTING HUMANOID ROBOTS TO DELIVER PACKAGES' (3 MINUTE
    READ) [6]

    Amazon is building a 'humanoid park' to test robots that could
    eventually take the jobs of delivery workers. The indoor obstacle
    course is about the size of a coffee shop. The company is developing
    artificial intelligence software that can power the robots. It will
    use hardware developed by other companies. Amazon is aiming for the
    robots to be able to travel in its Rivian vans and make deliveries
    from them.

    GOOGLE STARTS TESTING `SEARCH LIVE' IN AI MODE (2 MINUTE READ) [7]

    Google has started tests of its AI Mode's new 'Search Live'
    experience, which lets users have real-time conversations with Google.
    The feature can answer questions while surfacing the sites used to
    inform the answer. It may ask clarifying questions to refine queries,
    and users can ask follow-up questions. The feature is currently
    rolling out to the Google app in Android and iOS.

    Nucleus Genomics is a DNA testing and analysis company that plans to
    provide DNA testing for embryos to predict and reduce chronic
    diseases. It will analyze up to 20 embryos for $5,999, providing an
    analysis of up to 900 conditions. The embryos will be given
    probabilities for the likelihood they will get these chronic
    conditions and then it will be up to the parents to decide which

    SHOW HN: IOS SCREEN TIME FROM A REST API (HACKER NEWS THREAD) [11]

    The founders of Clearspace, a startup that builds tools to help
    people reduce their screen time, have released an API that makes iOS
    Screen Time accessible on the web. The API allows developers to build
    tools that leverage screen time data. Example use cases include apps
    that auto-report large deviations in screen time, show group
    visibility, and automatically complete tasks every time a limit is
    passed.

    Claude Composer CLI is a wrapper for Claude Code that adds
    enhancements around automation, UX, and configuration. It
    automatically handles permission dialogues based on configurable rules
    and uses rulesets to define exactly which actions to allow
    automatically. Users can configure which tools Claude can use and stay
    informed without switching contexts through system notifications.

    GOOGLE ROLLING OUT UPGRADED GEMINI 2.5 PRO PREVIEW (1 MINUTE READ)
    [13]

    across benchmarks like AIDER Polyglot and has top-tier performance on
    GPQA and Humanity's Last Exam. It has an Elo score of 1460 on LMArena

    AMC NETWORKS INKS DEAL WITH AI COMPANY RUNWAY (3 MINUTE READ) [14]

    AMC plans to use AI company Runway's technology to both generate
    marketing images and help pre-visualize shows that have yet to be
    produced. The AI production images could help showrunners figure out
    what would or wouldn't work on the air without the high cost of
    shooting the material or designing from scratch. They are not intended
    to be used in shows at this point. Other studios are also tinkering
    with AI models, but they are staying silent about it due to the early
    nature of the tech and the sensitivity of the issue with Hollywood
    guilds.
