H2O.ai Breaks New World Record for Most Accurate Agentic AI for Generalized Assistants
Achieving 79.7% accuracy, h2oGPTe sets a new benchmark for enterprise-grade, Sovereign AI across regulated industries.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--H2O.ai, the #1 Agentic AI company, announced its h2oGPTe Agent has once again achieved the top ranking on the prestigious General AI Assistant (GAIA) benchmark, with a record-setting 79.7% accuracy, fast approaching human-level performance, measured at 92%, and far surpassing general-purpose models from Google and Microsoft, which scored below 50%.
GAIA is a rigorous evaluation framework that measures how effectively AI agents perform over 300 real-world tasks, spanning research, data analysis, document handling, and advanced reasoning. It serves as a key indicator of enterprise readiness, assessing whether AI systems can handle the kinds of high-effort, skilled tasks traditionally done by humans. For business leaders, this milestone means h2oGPTe is capable of handling the kind of nuanced decisions, regulations, and workflows that drive value in banking, telecom, healthcare, and government. H2O.ai first achieved the top GAIA ranking in December 2024 and continues to lead in production-grade, sovereign AI.
The improved performance of H2O.ai's agent technology comes from key enhancements, including advanced browser navigation for precise information extraction, unified search across multiple sources like Google and Wikipedia, and the integration of Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Additionally, the platform now features GitHub integration for navigating codebases and real-time source attribution, ensuring transparency during research.
"GAIA is fast becoming the barometer of enterprise intelligence, and at 79.7%, our agents aren't just accurate, they're adaptable," said H2O.ai CEO and Founder Sri Ambati. "Gemini sharpened our vision and multimodal skills, Claude boosted our reasoning and code understanding, and now we're building toward an auto-agentic future, a framework where planning agents coordinate a series of task-specific power tools. DeepResearch already gave hedge funds an edge in volatile markets, and in today's shifting geopolitical landscape, scenario planning is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Delivering all of this, on-prem, inside sovereign AI environments for governments and public institutions, that's a game changer."
H2O.ai's agents are deployed in some of the world's most highly regulated environments to support mission-critical, task-specific operations. Global banks use them to streamline regulatory reporting and detect fraud, telecom providers to optimize call centers, and public agencies to manage complex document workflows. H2O.ai offers a growing portfolio of vertical agents — prebuilt for industries like banking, telecom, and government — and a flexible agent builder framework for creating custom agents on private data and internal systems. Built on a multi-agent architecture, planning agents can coordinate specialized sub-agents across departments, delivering structure, speed, and scale. With human-in-the-loop review, continuous learning, and auditability built in, H2O agents meet strict compliance needs while accelerating decision-making and ROI.
As enterprises move from AI pilots to production, H2O.ai continues to lead the way with modular, hardware-agnostic solutions that run securely on private clouds, on-premise infrastructure, or air-gapped environments.
With GAIA as a clear signal of applied intelligence, H2O.ai stands apart in an increasingly crowded field, proving what's possible when agentic AI is purpose-built for the enterprise.

FRIDAY: How Three Hasidic Founders Revolutionized Payroll
In a tech industry filled with venture-backed giants and bloated software solutions, FRIDAY stands apart. Founded by three Hasidic entrepreneurs without a college education: Pincus Schiff, Hershy Goldstein, and Martin Schwartz , the company is quietly becoming a trusted name in payroll for small businesses across America. The founders are not former Google engineers. They are not riding a wave of Silicon Valley hype. Instead, they built FRIDAY by focusing on something the industry often forgets: real people running real businesses who just want simple, reliable tools that work. Small business owners have long struggled with payroll systems that are expensive, outdated, or far too complex for their needs. The FRIDAY team saw this firsthand. Many business owners were juggling time tracking with manual spreadsheets, or overpaying for enterprise solutions that offered features they would never use. That pain point became their mission. FRIDAY is a payroll and time tracking platform designed specifically for the kinds of businesses that rarely get attention. The team calls it 'payroll for the rest of us.' Think coffee shops, HVAC companies, small retailers, and local restaurants. These businesses make up the backbone of the economy, yet they are often underserved by modern tech. Since launching, FRIDAY has grown to serve over 1,000 small businesses. All of this has been accomplished without a massive fundraising round or flashy marketing campaigns. Instead of buying attention, the team earned trust. They partnered with hundreds of CPAs and bookkeepers who needed a better solution for their clients. They built tools that actually solved problems. They focused on creating something that customers would love and tell their friends about. It worked. FRIDAY now ranks among the top-reviewed payroll platforms on G2 and continues to grow through referrals and word of mouth. That kind of momentum cannot be bought. It has to be earned. What makes FRIDAY different is not just the software itself. It is the philosophy behind it. Everything they build is designed with clarity and care. The platform includes real-time time tracking, simple PTO management, geofenced logins, and a three-click payroll process. More importantly, it feels personal. FRIDAY does not present itself as a faceless tech company. It feels like a partner. Business owners know they can reach out, get support, and actually speak with someone who understands what they are going through. The company is also rolling out an Accountant Portal that allows firms to manage multiple clients in one place. This move reinforces FRIDAY's commitment to being a true ally to both business owners and their advisors. The FRIDAY team is not chasing a billion-dollar valuation. Their goal is to become the most loved payroll brand in America. They want to help 100,000 small businesses simplify their operations so the owners can focus on what really matters. They are not distracted by feature overload or trend-chasing. Their approach is rooted in trust, usability, and consistency. In a space that often favors flash over function, FRIDAY is winning by staying grounded and authentic. As Schiff often says, the best products do not make people think. They just work. In an age of hype cycles and artificial virality, FRIDAY is a refreshing reminder that you can still build a successful tech company by doing the simple things right. Care about your customers. Build a product that solves their problems. Earn trust every step of the way. That formula may not generate headlines overnight, but it is generating something far more valuable: loyalty. FRIDAY is not just software. It is a movement toward more human, more honest, and more useful business tools. And it is only just getting started. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Google Pixel 11 could finally catch up to Samsung and Apple on performance — here's how
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Google's Pixel phones have long been among the best phones you can buy and break up the hegemonic hold of Samsung and Apple devices. However, they've also been far underpowered compared to the iPhone and the Galaxy S series. That may be about to change as a new report from the Chinese publication CTEE (via 9to5Google) claims that Google will jump on the 2nm process via TSMC for its Tensor G6 chip, which should power the Pixel 11 series. From the beginning, Google's Tensor SoCs have been behind its competitors.. The Tensor series of chips was introduced in 2021 with the Pixel 6, which was built on a 5nm process at Samsung. The G2 in the Pixel 7 series used the same 5nm process, while Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 moved down to 4nm. For comparison, here's how the Tensor G4 in the Google Pixel 9 stacks up to the Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15, both a generation old now. Google Pixel 9 Samsung Galaxy S24 iPhone 15 Google Pixel 8 Processor Tensor G4 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 A16 Bionic Tensor G3 Geekbench (single core/multicore) 1,758 / 4,594 2235 / 6922 2518 / 6179 1569 / 3744 WildLife Unlimited(fps) 55.71 120.4 72.1 54 Things are changing. Google is reportedly already moving production of the Tensor G5 to TSMC on a 3nm process and moving to TSMC's 2nm process for the Tensor G6. Surprisingly, that change could mean that Google might beat rivals to the punch when it comes to 2nm processes. Allegedly, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite will stick with 3nm. Though there are rumors that Samsung foundries are working on an Exynos 2600 chip built on a 2nm process, regular Samsung leaker Jukan Choi has claimed that Samsung is having more success with its 2nm builds over the current 3nm process, which has allegedly been a struggle. Our first glimpse of an improved Pixel will be the Pixel 10, which should launch later this summer in August. But it's interesting that Google is finally taking its chips seriously, though we wonder if catching up means that Pixels will also get more expensive as better chips power the phones. Google just launched 'Search Live' — here's why you'll want to try it I tested Perplexity vs Google AI overview with 7 prompts — the results were shocking Google could be planning its own take on Samsung's Now Bar — what we know
