Box CEO shows AI agents filling out RFPs while you sleep
Box CEO Aaron Levie demonstrated the company's new AI agent completing an entire RFP response from the company's knowledge base. The process normally takes hours of focused human work, but the agent handled it autonomously while Levie was away from his desk. "This is the jump when you go from having a chatbot to being able to actually have an agent go off and do work for minutes or even hours and come back with a complete work output that you then review," Levie explained.
Why it matters: Your procurement team is about to get very busy. If responding to RFPs becomes a background task instead of a week-long project, expect 10x more competitive bids on every contract.
OpenAI published its vision for enterprise AI adoption, highlighting how companies are scaling from individual ChatGPT users to company-wide AI agents. The post covers their Frontier models, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Codex implementations across industries.
Why it matters: When OpenAI talks about "the next phase," they're describing the shift from employees using ChatGPT to AI systems running entire business processes. Your IT department needs to start planning for that transition now.
Chinese AI company MiniMax published a technical deep dive into their MiniMax-M2-her model, breaking down the engineering decisions behind their latest release.
Why it matters: China's AI labs are getting more transparent about their technical approaches, which suggests growing confidence in competing directly with US models rather than just copying them.
