'She is embracing the idea of turning 50 and feels more grounded than ever. She's not shying away from getting older, in fact she's leaning into it.' The insider then said: 'Angie sees aging in a really positive light especially after losing her mom so young.' Her mother Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007 at age 56. 'She feels calm, inspired, and she's excited about what's ahead,' said the source. This is a nice change after so much instability in her 40s.

When asked about the significance of his divorce settlement with Angelina. F1 star Brad said: 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' The couple's legal disputes have encompassed custody of their six children and the division of assets including the Château Miraval winery in France. During the GQ interview, Brad addressed the media scrutiny surrounding his private life by saying: 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' The actor currently resides in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, 32-year-old jewelry executive Ines de Ramon.

When GQ asked whether working on F1 served as a 'refuge from all the attention,' the versatile actor responded with a very skeptical: 'Um, I don't see it that way.' He added: 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know.' Reflecting on his current lifestyle, Brad said: 'Mostly I feel pretty... my life is fairly contained. 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.'

What Is a Triage AI Agent Automation & Multi-Agent Systems Explained
What if the key to solving complex, high-stakes challenges in industries like healthcare, cybersecurity, or customer service wasn't a human expert, but an intelligent system that never sleeps? Enter the world of triage AI agents, a new evolution in automation that's reshaping how organizations prioritize and manage tasks. Inspired by the life-or-death urgency of medical triage, these systems don't just organize workflows—they make data-driven decisions in real-time, making sure that critical issues are addressed immediately while routine tasks are handled with precision. In a world where delays can cost lives, revenue, or reputations, triage AI agents are proving to be indispensable allies. IBM Technology explores the mechanics and fantastic potential of triage AI agents, revealing how they combine multi-agent systems, large language models (LLMs), and domain-specific knowledge to transform task management. You'll uncover how these systems operate behind the scenes, from collecting and assessing data to routing tasks with unparalleled efficiency. Whether you're curious about their role in reducing patient wait times, thwarting cyber threats, or enhancing customer satisfaction, this deep dive will illuminate why triage AI agents are more than just another automation tool—they're a glimpse into the future of intelligent decision-making. Could this be the breakthrough your industry has been waiting for? Triage AI Agents Overview How Triage AI Agents Work Triage AI agents streamline workflows by automating the intake, assessment, and routing of tasks. This structured process is composed of three primary components: Intake Agent: This component collects data from users or systems through conversational interfaces or APIs. It connects to knowledge sources such as historical records, templates, or client-specific data to ensure the information gathered is both accurate and relevant. This component collects data from users or systems through conversational interfaces or APIs. It connects to knowledge sources such as historical records, templates, or client-specific data to ensure the information gathered is both accurate and relevant. Assessment Agent: Once data is collected, this agent evaluates the information using domain-specific knowledge, search APIs, or LLMs. It identifies the task's nature, diagnoses potential issues, and determines the most appropriate course of action. Once data is collected, this agent evaluates the information using domain-specific knowledge, search APIs, or LLMs. It identifies the task's nature, diagnoses potential issues, and determines the most appropriate course of action. Routing Agent: In the final step, the task is either executed or directed to the appropriate resource. This is achieved through automation tools, communication platforms, or priority management systems. By integrating these components, triage AI agents reduce delays, optimize task management, and enhance overall operational efficiency. Their ability to handle complex workflows with minimal human intervention makes them a valuable asset for organizations aiming to improve productivity. The Evolution of Triage: From Medicine to AI The concept of triage has its roots in military medicine, where patients were prioritized based on the urgency of their conditions rather than their rank or status. This principle of prioritization has since been adopted across various industries where efficient task management is critical. In the digital age, AI agents have taken this concept to new heights by replicating and enhancing human decision-making through automation and artificial intelligence. These systems are designed to handle the growing complexity of modern workflows, offering precision and speed that surpass traditional methods. By automating the triage process, organizations can allocate resources more effectively, making sure that critical tasks receive immediate attention while routine tasks are managed systematically. What are Triage AI Agents? Watch this video on YouTube. Below are more guides on AI agents from our extensive range of articles. Applications Across Key Industries Triage AI agents are versatile tools with applications that span multiple sectors. Their ability to intelligently prioritize and manage tasks is transforming key industries in the following ways: Healthcare: Triage AI agents streamline patient intake processes, assess symptoms, and route cases to the appropriate medical professionals. This reduces wait times, enhances diagnostic accuracy, and improves overall patient care.
