Storm Reply and Audi Set New Standards for Cloud Management with Agentic AI
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.

Are Browsers Key To An Agentic AI Future? Opera, Perplexity Think So
AI-powered conversational search engine Perplexity is in the news for offering to buy Google's Chrome browser for $34.5 billion. But in December of 2024, Perplexity considered buying The Browser Co. And just months ago, Perplexity reportedly offered to buy Brave, the privacy-focused browser, for about $1 billion. Why does Perplexity want a web browser so badly? Possibly because a browser just might be key to our agentic AI future. I recently interviewed Opera senior product leader Henrik Lexow on my TechFirst podcast. Opera, the 30-year-old browser company that pioneered tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and ad blockers, has about 300 million active users globally. This year, Opera was the first to bring AI agents right into our browsers in a project called Opera Neon. 'The agentic browser … is that sort of the new operating system?' Lexow asked during the podcast. 'It's a big question.' Regardless of where the browser goes, Opera's pretty sure about the future of the internet itself. That's a huge shift, by the way. An agentic internet would be a massive and fundamental change from a user-driven internet to an agent-driven version. In a user-driven internet, you search, you see results, you make selections, you click links, you fill out forms, you book flights, and you buy products. In a sense, you are the agent. In an agentic internet, you tell something – maybe your agentic browser – to do those things for you. Except you don't say search, look, select, and buy; you say buy me more of the underwear I got six months ago. The agent then consults its memory, forms a plan, takes multiple steps, and handles it all: from which underwear you bought, and where you bought them, to finding the same ones online (and maybe checking around for better prices), to adding them to cart, to checking out … and reporting back to you with the results. The agent – in this case potentially an agentic browser – is therefore essentially a personal assistant, a force multiplier. But will an agentic browser be the main way we engage with agents? Perplexity seems to think it's pretty important, given the company's persistent and repeated but so far unfruitful attempt to buy a browser. Opera certainly thinks so, if only because Opera has a browser, and a very innovative one at that. Opera launched AI in a browser back in 2023 in a project called ARIA. ARIA enabled contextual interactions within web pages in a GPT-based chat interface. Over time, that's evolved to a tripartite strategy under the Opera Neon brand: The reality is that for many of us, most of our work happens in a browser. I'm writing this story in a browser. I recorded the interview in a browser. I've researched Opera and Perplexity in a browser. I made episode art for the podcast in a browser (thanks, Canva). Opera's thesis is that having agents embedded where you work makes them vastly more useful: they have access to your history, to your work, to your sites and apps. Important note: the Neon agentic browser's AI lives locally on your hardware, making it your agent, not Opera's, and not your employer's. This should boost your privacy, which is critical if you're going to give an agent access to very personal information including, likely, your credit card. Of course, this is just one vision of the future. Apple with Siri, as justly maligned as it is, would have another vision. Google, with Gemini and its own vast fleet of Android-enabled phones, would have another. Microsoft's Copilot is another. And OpenAI, which has ChatGPT apps for mobile devices as well as full computers, might have yet another vision of how we'll integrate AI into our lives and work. So whether the browser will be the locus of our agentic AI future or not is yet to be determined. Remember the old proverb: every problem looks like a nail to the person who only has a hammer. But it seems like a fairly good bet to me.

Here's How Alibaba's New, AI-Based Sourcing Agent Works
Alibaba International announced Thursday it has released an AI-powered sourcing agent called Accio Agent. The company joins the ranks of other organizations working to bring agentic AI, which is meant to take care of specific tasks autonomously or with little human intervention, to their customers. Agentic applications have become increasingly popular points of discussion in 2025, both for consumer-facing functions like agentic shopping and for backend business tasks like supply chain visibility and sourcing. More from Sourcing Journal Recyclers Rejoice: AI Learns to See What's Beneath the Seams Byte-Sized AI: Debenhams Launches Employee Upskilling Program; Aetrex's New AI-Enabled Foot Scanner Seller Experience Is ThredUp's Next Frontier for AI Alibaba noted in the announcement that Accio has particular potential for small-to-medium enterprises, which often have limited human capital to devote to sourcing activities. Still, these businesses work to maintain complex supply chains with multiple suppliers, which is both time consuming and highly manual. Alibaba developed Accio Agent in an effort to streamline some of the most time-consuming pieces of the sourcing equation for its clients. Alibaba said it trained Accio Agent on 1 billion product listings and 50 million suppliers' offerings and information. That, in turn, provides users with a wide breadth of options when sourcing products via the automated system. The company said its agent has the power to axe weeks' worth of work from the sourcing process, consolidating the same tasks into minutes. Users start by giving Accio Agent a task to research. While the query can be pointed at a specific product or category, the agent can also handle multi-faceted requests, researching various categories and suppliers simultaneously. So, for instance, while one user might tell Accio, 'Find me a supplier based in Vietnam who can make small batches of high-quality T-shirts with a six-week turnaround,' another user might tell Accio, 'Find suppliers that can support a pop-up brand event in New York City. I need a supplier that can provide 150 staff T-shirts, a supplier that can quickly ship tents and coffee cups, a supplier that can produce tote bags for swag bags and items to put in the swag bags. The event will be '70s themed, and I need all products by October 1.' Based on the unique task it has been given, Accio Agent pores over available suppliers, then provides a list of qualified suppliers for each subset of the task it has been given. 'Each supplier is carefully evaluated based on crucial factors, like operational history, international experience, production capacity, local market, track record and certifications,' a promotional video for Accio stated. Once preliminary supplier lists have been issued, the user can narrow their options by giving Accio additional parameters. For instance, the user that needs T-shirts can tell Accio they only want to purchase from a manufacturer that has an Oeko-Tex certification. The user planning the event might tell Accio they only want to buy tote bags made of organic cotton. Based on the additional requirements, Accio provides a finalized supplier suggestion list that compares the merits of each suggested supplier. From there, the user specifies how many units of each item they want to purchase, and Accio drafts outreach to be sent to the selected suppliers automatically. Once inquiries have been sent, users can interface directly with suppliers through Accio's platform. The company contends that Accio allows users to automate 70 percent of the manual tasks associated with sourcing products. In its announcement, Alibaba noted that the agent also offers product ideation, prototyping and compliance-related functions in an effort to break down organizational silos. Kuo Zhang, vice president of Alibaba International, said the agentic function could open new pathways during a time when sourcing has become increasingly convoluted because of the global macroeconomic environment. 'Accio Agent is a highly practical tool which solves a multitude of problems for businesses sourcing globally. It's an AI agent designed to help you do business. It can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, operating like a team of dedicated professionals—sourcing agents, product developers, engineers and market researchers—all working together to grow your business,' Zhang said in a statement.
