To kick off our Nano Banana promo, we're spotlighting what makes these models worth your time. Nano Banana Pro holds multi-reference cleanly, keeps character consistency across generations, and renders detail other models flatten. Nano Banana 2 and Pro, both on us until July https://t.co/0gExNY5g0e

Looking forward > looking backward. If you manage multiple companies like Jason Adams at Signal Ventures LLC, you know how the admin can quickly swell into full-time hires as you try to stay on top of and make sense of the data. Or, you can use tools like @DualEntry to do it https://t.co/lTBoKNZRYB
Verified autonomy isn't just a concept. At the LeanLang for Verified Autonomy Hackathon, it became a working problem. Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore hosted people for two days who believe AI needs to be more than capable. It needs to be provably safe. The https://t.co/DT6NdN3giR

Accounting is no longer just about recording the past. It's about real-time visibility and proactive risk management. We built Anomaly Detection to bridge that gap. Our AI-powered detectors work 24/7, automatically flagging anything that seems out of place, based on your https://t.co/MHa1lTK1lZ
Our poster session at @iclr_conf 2026 made one thing clear: agents are moving fast, but evaluation isn’t keeping up. Mowafak Allaham presented recent work on web agent evaluation (https://t.co/A2ymH6QMZt) at the AgentWild workshop. Across the conference, agent research is https://t.co/8SLbvQA14E

NYC 🚨 We're presenting at Agentics NYC on May 6 alongside Cognee, Nori, and Modal. Our founding engineer @dvargasfuertes on why personal AI agents are replacing the SaaS tools you used to pay for, and how our team already made the switch. Dinner included! Come hang 👾
That layer is verification. It’s what moves AI from probability → dependable action. https://t.co/7hLY8wA4dO
Stronger models alone won’t solve this. What matters is the layer that decides whether an AI output should: • execute • retry • escalate • or stop. https://t.co/P0W5PICXZ5
Enterprise environments require guarantees: • correct • compliance • auditability • repeatability Autonomy only works when these constraints are built in. https://t.co/DxsYoNHRlQ
The real question isn’t “Can AI produce an answer?” It’s: “Was the task actually completed correctly?” Without that, systems remain assistants — not agents. https://t.co/V2SZc7NAYe
LLMs are great at generating outputs. But enterprise AI isn’t about generation. It’s about reliable execution. Agentic AI requires more than models. https://t.co/KJ6yHIGxDn
