Storm Reply and Audi Set New Standards for Cloud Management with Agentic AI
TURIN, Italy, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Storm Reply, the Reply Group company specialising in innovative cloud-based solutions and services, is supporting Audi's Cloud Foundation Services team in enhancing its cloud management activities through the introduction of Devbot, a digital assistant powered by Agentic AI technologies. Designed to optimise the use of cloud infrastructure, Devbot automates the handling of recurring support requests. Preparing to deploy a system where Audi employees receive personalized recommendations in real time, while ensuring the secure and efficient use of cloud services across the organization.
Unlike traditional chatbots, Devbot is built on a multi-agent architecture, combining specialised AI agents for different tasks. The platform acts proactively by identifying security vulnerabilities in the cloud infrastructure, suggesting validated Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) components for the rapid development of new environments, and providing actionable recommendations to optimise cloud costs.
To develop this digital assistant, Storm Reply combined state-of-the-art technologies within the AWS Cloud. The Large Language Model (LLM) Claude enables users to interact through natural language, while a specialised Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) process, developed by Storm Reply, ensures that all responses are based on verifiable and up-to-date information. Tailored access controls further protect sensitive data, guaranteeing that only authorised users have access.
The success of the digital assistant demonstrates the significant potential of Agentic AI when integrated into existing business processes to reduce repetitive and error-prone manual tasks. With Devbot, Audi's Cloud Foundation Services team can now focus on shaping future-proof cloud strategies, while the other departments benefit from faster, more tailored support.

NATO Plans Massive Weapons Ramp-Up to Appease Trump
Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. NATO's foreign ministers gather in Brussels today to formally sign off on a massive weapons ramp-up that should lead to a new alliance-wide defense spending target of 5% of GDP. They will also further discussions on how to keep US President Donald Trump as happy as possible at the alliance's upcoming summit. Europeans have insisted that a so-called US backstop is essential to deter Russia from breaching any future ceasefire deal. But the US is refusing to provide air defenses to back the 'reassurance force' the UK and France are planning in a postwar Ukraine, we've been told. Keeping Trump happy will also be a top concern for Germany's Friedrich Merz, who'll be in the White House today. Trump's determination to dial back military support for Europe will shift a massive burden onto Germany. The country is uniquely vulnerable to the president's efforts to transform the way the world does business, and many Germans don't have the stomach for the challenges ahead. — Andrea Palasciano

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai dismisses AI job fears, emphasizes expansion plans
In a Bloomberg interview tonight, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai pushed back against concerns that AI could eventually make half the company's 180,000-person workforce redundant. Instead, Pichai stressed the company's commitment to growth through at least next year. 'I expect we will grow from our current engineering phase even into next year, because it allows us to do more,' Pichai said, adding that AI is making engineers more productive by eliminating tedious tasks and enabling them to focus on more impactful work. Rather than replacing workers, he referred to AI as 'an accelerator' that will drive new product development, thereby creating demand for more employees. Alphabet has staged numerous layoffs in recent years, though so far, cuts in 2025 appear to be more targeted than in previous years. It reportedly parted ways with less than 100 people in Google's cloud division earlier this year and, more recently, hundreds more in its platforms and devices unit. In 2024 and 2023, the cuts were far more severe, with 12,000 people dropped from the company in 2023 and at least another 1,000 employees laid off last year. Looking forward, Pichai pointed to Alphabet's expanding ventures like Waymo autonomous vehicles, quantum computing initiatives, and YouTube's explosive growth as evidence of innovation opportunities that continually bubble up. He noted YouTube's scale in India alone, with 100 million channels and 15,000 channels boasting over one million subscribers. At one point, Pichai said trying to think too far ahead is 'pointless.' But he also acknowledged the legitimacy of fears about job displacement, saying when asked about Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's recent comments that AI could erode half of entry-level white collar jobs within five years, 'I respect that . . .I think it's important to voice those concerns and debate them.' As the interview wrapped up, Pichai was asked about the limits of AI, and whether it's possible that the world might never achieve artificial general intelligence, meaning AI that's as smart as humans at everything. He quickly paused before answering. 'There's a lot of forward progress ahead with the paths we are on, not only the set of ideas we are working on today, [but] some of the newer ideas we are experimenting with,' he said. 'I'm very optimistic on seeing a lot of progress. But you know,' he added, 'you've always had these technology curves where you may hit a temporary plateau. So are we currently on an absolute path to AGI? I don't think anyone can say for sure.'
