The note-taking service Notion has launched its first AI agent. The agent will use all of a user's pages and database as context to automatically generate notes, reports and analytical dashboards. The agent can create pages and databases and update them with new data. Users can customize the agent's "profile" page to tell it how to access sources, format output and when implement tasks and deliverables. The agent can also be used to process data from external platforms connected to the service. For example, you can ask the Notion agent to create an issue tracking dashboard from various sources, including Slack, email and Google Drive. The new agent is based on Notion AI, an existing content search and summary feature.

Zoom has unveiled a new AI companion that can work across multiple video meeting apps. The company has long offered an AI bot capable of recording and transcribing Zoom's own video conferences, but the new assistant can also work with competing systems like Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Who needs this? Apparently, someone does, as cross-platform note-taking services like Read AI, Otter, Fireflies, Granola and Circleback have become quite popular. Zoom is following their example, allowing users to take notes during meetings and then expand and structure them using AI. It also features cross-platform search, allowing users to access information from all platforms, such as Google and Microsoft. The assistant can also schedule meetings and create AI avatars that mimic the user.

It appears the real reason for Oracle's sharp rise this week isn't its major contract with OpenAI, but rather its upcoming acquisition of TikTok (along with investment firms Andreessen Horowitz and Silver Lake Management). On September 15, after two days of talks in Madrid, senior US and Chinese officials presented a framework agreement for the creation of an American version of TikTok. This week, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss the document. TikTok is China's most valuable private company, valued at $400 billion. From the business perspective, it's the largest social network and advertising platform.

Lately, all the IT giants want to have their own browser. On the one hand, this topic is fueled by the antitrust trial against Google, which threatens to separate Chrome from it. On the other hand, there is a potential revolution that AI-browsing can cause (similar to the one that AI-search caused). Atlassian, which actually develops SaaS products for software companies, suddenly decided to buy The Browser Company, which produces the AI ​​browser Dia, for $610 million. Atlassian hopes to create an AI browser optimized for SaaS applications running in tabs - a browser for knowledge workers. The Browser Company CEO Josh Miller said that his company will operate independently under Atlassian and will continue to develop Dia.

Oracle shares have surged more than 33%, making Oracle founder Larry Ellison the world's richest person in a single day after the company said demand for its AI cloud services was growing. Since the start of 2025, the company's stock has already risen 45%, outpacing even the Magnificent Seven and the S&P 500 index. Investors are betting on a boom in the AI ​​cloud space, where Oracle is becoming an increasingly influential player. In August, Oracle signed four multi-billion dollar contracts with three clients and CEO Safra Catz said there would be more such deals in the coming months, with orders potentially exceeding $500 billion. However, Reuters notes that despite this breakthrough, the main players in the cloud market remain Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud with a combined share of 65%.

German translation service DeepL has decided to enter the AI ​​agent market and compete with giants like OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) and Microsoft (Copilot). DeepL Agent is a general-purpose AI agent (not for translation) for autonomously performing a wide range of business tasks. From creating and researching customer lists to translating and publishing website content, it is designed to optimize the routine and time-consuming work you do every day. The developers say that it does not just understand language, but can also reason, make decisions and perform tasks on its own. In fact, DeepL Agent is a computer-assisted user agent (CUA) that uses your computer just like you do. Following user instructions in natural language, it uses a virtual keyboard, browser and mouse to do the work for you. It's a powerful combination of intelligent autonomous operation with detailed control and safety.

OpenAI will probably soon become a competitor to LinkedIn. OpenAI CEO of Applications Fiji Simo announced OpenAI Jobs Platform. His explanation of the reasons for opening such a service is excellent. He says that OpenAI realizes its responsibility for the fact that artificial intelligence will leave many people without their jobs. At the same time, the company believes that AI will also create many new job opportunities. To help employees and companies during this period of turbulence, which the company is creating itself, they decided to open the Jobs Platform. Moreover, AI can perfectly select ideal options for both companies and employees. The platform will focus on positions that require AI competencies. It will even have the opportunity to get a certificate confirming AI competencies.

Microsoft has decided to spin off the corporate messenger Teams from the Office 365 suite to avoid an EU fine of 10% of its global annual turnover. In addition, prices for Teams plans without video conferencing will be reduced and compatibility with competing software will be improved. The antitrust investigation against Microsoft began after a complaint from Teams competitor Slack in July 2020. The European Commission then pointed out that the integration of Microsoft's IT platforms creates an unfair advantage over other market players. In 2024, the European Commission accused Microsoft of violating antitrust laws due to the fact that the IT company sold the Teams messenger in Office 365 and Microsoft 365 packages for several years.
