Maisa founders David Villalón and Manuel Romero
Inclusion in Gartner's 2025 Hype Cycle for AI and Hype Cycle for the Future of Work marks the first time a Spanish startup has been mentioned in these influential reports.
The company, which is barely a year old and made its first raise of $5m+ from leading US investors last year, now finds itself named alongside global giants Amazon Web Services, Google, Salesforce and LangChain.
The Gartner Hype Cycle for AI Agents provides an overview of emerging technologies in AI, helping organizations navigate the evolving landscape of autonomous software agents.
The Hype Cycle for the Future of Work provides CIOs with a crucial human-first lens on the transformative AI advancements and disciplines required to ensure success at scale.
Maisa is one of two European businesses included in its field in the prestigious report. Its technology allows businesses to use agentic AI to create 'digital workers' who can undertake complex process automation tasks such as regulatory compliance, supply chain control and financial management. It has global clients in banking, automotive and energy.
Maisa is unique in the field because its technology is hallucination-resistant. Its workings are traceable and there is a fully auditable trail - what Maisa calls its 'Chain of Work' - meaning businesses can confidently deploy it in critical functions, knowing they can pinpoint exactly how the AI is functioning.
Maisa's CEO and cofounder David Villalón:
'We are delighted to be the first Spanish company included by Gartner in its reports and one of only two European companies in the category of AI agents.
'We are especially pleased to be listed alongside global tech titans such as Google and Amazon.
'Our vision and achievements in empowering companies with autonomous, trustworthy AI agents drive real business value and set new standards for intelligent automation.'
The Gartner analysis highlights AI agents as rapidly maturing technology with a rare 'high benefit' rating, but points out that there is only a 5% - 20% market penetration to date, implying huge market growth potential.
AI agents - defined as autonomous or semi-autonomous software entities capable of perceiving, deciding and acting to achieve goals - are set to revolutionise industries by automating complex tasks, enhancing decision-making and enabling new levels of workflow integration.
About Maisa: A Rising Star in Agentic AI
Its platform allows enterprises to create and manage AI-powered digital workers capable of automating complex, knowledge-intensive business processes with full transparency, traceability and reliability. It is simple to operate, fast to work and trustworthy.
Maisa is enabled by a method the company calls 'HALP' (human-augmented LLM processing), which is a fast, no code and enterprise ready way to train digital workers.
Instead of relying on massive datasets or manual programming, HALP enables digital workers to learn directly from real work inside organisations.

2 Soaring Tech Stocks With Amazing Dividends
IBM is seeing growth accelerate as its bets on hybrid cloud and AI pay off. AT&T is posting solid wireless growth, and it plans to double its fiber network size over the next five years. Both stocks are up big and sport attractive dividends. 10 stocks we like better than International Business Machines › While many high-flying tech stocks don't pay dividends at all, investors can still find attractive dividends within the tech sector. International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) and AT&T (NYSE: T) are two great examples. On top of solid dividends, both IBM and AT&T have been delivering impressive gains to investors over the past few years. While the past doesn't predict the future, these two dividend stocks look attractive for long-term investors. Shares of IBM have more than doubled over the past three years as the company's long-awaited turnaround finally materialized. IBM's bet on hybrid cloud computing, anchored by its acquisition of Red Hat and progress in artificial intelligence (AI), have led to consistent revenue and free-cash-flow growth. For 2025, the company expects to grow currency-adjusted revenue by at least 5% while producing around $13.5 billion in free cash flow. AI is turning into a big win for IBM. The company's dual focus on software and consulting is winning over enterprises, resulting in $6 billion in generative AI-related bookings so far. IBM's watsonx platform and its efficient Granite AI models are geared toward solving real-world problems for enterprise clients, and its consulting arm can construct AI solutions involving IBM and third-party products. IBM has kept dividend increases small in the wake of the $34 billion Red Hat deal. The latest dividend hike was just a penny, bringing the quarterly dividend up to $1.68 per share. Even so, IBM's dividend looks attractive, with a yield of around 2.3%. The company's dividend track record is tough to beat. As of this year, IBM has paid consecutive quarterly dividends since 1916, and it's increased that dividend annually for 30 years in a row. With free cash flow on the rise, IBM's dividend is set to consume less than half of the company's free cash flow in 2025. That leaves plenty of cash flow left over for debt reduction and other uses, and if free cash flow keeps growing, larger dividend hikes could be on the horizon. Since bottoming out in mid-2023, shares of telecom giant AT&T are up around 110%. While investors had shunned the stock for years following the company's failed media acquisitions and messy disposal of those assets, they've been warming back up to AT&T recently. Today, AT&T is focused on 5G wireless and fiber. The company has delivered consistent wireless subscriber growth over the past few years, and its fiber network is set for a major expansion. AT&T recently passed its 30 millionth fiber location, and it expects to double the network's reach by the end of 2030. The recent acquisition of Lumen's Mass Markets fiber business will help the cause. For 2025, AT&T expects mobility service revenue to grow by around 3%, consumer fiber revenue to surge by a mid-teens percentage, and free cash flow to top $16 billion. That free cash flow supports AT&T's dividend, which has become more sustainable as the company's results have improved. AT&T slashed its dividend when it spun off WarnerMedia, and it has kept its dividend payments unchanged since then. The current quarterly dividend is $0.2775 per share, which works out to a dividend yield of 3.8%. AT&T will pay out around $8 billion in dividend payments this year, or roughly half of its free cash flow. While AT&T's dividend hasn't increased in years, a higher dividend could be coming soon. The company hit its debt-reduction goals this year and plans to resume share repurchases in Q2. With less focus on debt reduction, a dividend increase could also be on the table. For investors looking for a safe dividend with a high yield, AT&T is a great choice.

Datadog's S&P 500 Debut Is a Big Deal
Datadog's (NASDAQ:DDOG) about to join the S&P 500 on July 9taking Juniper's spot after its HP Enterprise dealand Wedbush's Daniel Ives thinks it's a solid stamp of approval for the company's growth story. After markets wrapped on Wednesday, S&P Global surprised a few people by picking Datadog for the 500 rather than names like Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) or AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP). Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with DDOG. The reason? Datadog's observability platform, especially its new Bits AI features, is catching fire. We're talking continuous background scans that flag issues before they explode, AI-powered bug-fix suggestions with neat summaries, and super-detailed telemetry dashboards. Plus, teaming up with OpenAI only adds to the we've got the future of dev tools covered vibe. Landing in the S&P 500 isn't just bragging rightsit usually means a wave of passive-fund buying and way more eyeballs on the ticker. Since investors from big index funds have to hold S&P 500 components, Datadog should see extra demand right after July 9. And that could keep the stock cruising higher, on top of the strong enterprise momentum Ives keeps hearing about. Ives hasn't budged on his Outperform call and even bumped his price target from $140 to $170about 26% upside. So as we head into next week, watch for other analysts to follow suit (or maybe dial back), and see how those index-fund flows shake out. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
