Zip Unveils Suite of 50 AI Agents to Automate High-Impact Tasks Across Finance, Legal, Procurement, IT, and Security
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zip, the AI platform for procurement, today unveiled a groundbreaking suite of 50 purpose-built AI agents at its inaugural Zip AI Summit in Brooklyn, New York. Leveraging Zip's agentic AI suite for procurement, companies can now eliminate millions of hours of manual, tedious work currently plaguing every department across the enterprise – from tariff assessments to contract reviews, compliance checks, and more. With this launch, Zip introduces agentic procurement orchestration, a breakthrough new category that automates the entire purchasing process, giving the world's largest organizations a competitive edge in an increasingly volatile and resource-tight global market. 'Zip's approach to agentic AI is going to make global companies more secure, save them millions of hours of laborious work, and generate billions in hard-dollar savings,' said Rujul Zaparde, Co-Founder and CEO of Zip. Procurement represents the second-largest spend category after payroll, yet remarkably few organizations have successfully applied AI, leaving trillions of dollars managed through manual, error-prone processes. Zip, which became the first procurement platform to introduce generative AI features back in 2023, has already helped hundreds of global companies streamline purchasing – delivering over 4.6 million actionable AI insights and saving customers billions. Today's launch represents a fundamental leap forward as Zip moves beyond AI-assisted workflows to deploying intelligent agents that autonomously complete entire tasks on their own. 'Today Zip is cutting through the agentic AI hype with AI agents that actually work,' said Rujul Zaparde, Co-Founder and CEO of Zip. 'Not vague chatbots. Not generic assistants. Real, specialized AI agents that do one job and do it perfectly. Zip's approach to agentic AI is going to make global companies more secure, save them millions of hours of laborious work, and generate billions in hard-dollar savings.' OpenAI, Canva, Wiz, and Webflow are among the first companies to leverage Zip's groundbreaking AI agents. These and other long-time Zip customers have collaborated closely within the Zip AI Lab – launched during the company's landmark Series D funding round – flagging pain points across the purchasing lifecycle that the platform now addresses autonomously. 'We've worked closely with the Zip team to power their agentic platform and it's been really exciting to see how quickly they've turned real-world procurement pain points into focused AI task agents with our APIs,' said Kathryn Devlin, Head of Procure-to-Pay Operations, Travel and Expense at OpenAI. 'As part of our overall collaboration, we're excited to be among the first to integrate their AI agents to help manage spending and drive efficiency across the organization.' Zip's Agentic AI Suite at a Glance Zip's suite of 50+ AI agents enables customers to automate complex procurement tasks, including: AI Agent Builder: Provides an easy, no-code platform to build, customize, deploy and train AI agents. Tariff Analysis Agent: Dynamically assesses the impact of global trade policies on vendor pricing, helping companies navigate complex international procurement landscapes. Competitive Research Agent: Surfaces vendor alternatives and market rates to inform smarter, more strategic sourcing decisions. RFP Generation Agent: Drafts tailored Request for Proposal documents based on specific purchase requirements, dramatically reducing manual preparation time. DORA Assessment Agent: Screens vendors for DORA exposure and surfaces red flags for legal and procurement. GDPR Compliance Agent: Flags potential privacy risks in vendor documents, ensuring regulatory compliance. ESG Profile Agent: Identifies and evaluates ethical and sustainability concerns in potential supplier relationships. 'We live in a world where procurement leaders need to utilize AI for our advantage, and Zip's approach to agentic AI does exactly that,' said Idan Cohen, Technology Procurement at Wiz. 'We'll save so much time on the technical work and day-to-day tasks that we need to do as part of the procurement process, and be enabled to really focus on what we're supposed to do – being a true partner to the business and to our vendors.' "Zip created an entirely new category of procurement applications, so it is appropriate to see them pressing forward and launching a suite of AI Agents, plus an AI Agent builder, that will drive efficiency, compliance and, ultimately, savings. Shaped by input from many of their hundreds of clients, Zip is providing a pathway to the future of procurement. We can't wait to see Zip Agents in action," said Patrick Reymann, Research Director, Procurement and Enterprise Applications, IDC.

Starbucks' new OpenAI-powered tool helps baristas remember drink recipes and suggests food options
Starbucks is piloting a tool that'll help its baristas remember drink recipes. The Seattle-based coffee chain launched a new AI tool called Green Dot Assist, created with OpenAI. This tool, available on an iPad behind the counter in Starbucks stores, will work as an in-store virtual assistant for baristas. "Instead of flipping through manuals or searching for answers, partners can now ask questions on in-store iPads and receive instant, conversational responses," Starbucks said in a Tuesday press release. In an explanatory video of the tool, Starbucks said Green Dot Assist would show videos of how to make certain drinks, suggest tweaks and customizations to recipes, and recommend food pairings. For instance, a video on how to make Starbucks' Lavender Oatmilk Latte shows the app directing the barista to recommend a lemon loaf to the customer, as the loaf would "complement the latte's floral notes." "This marks a significant step forward in our commitment to streamlining operations, reducing friction, and giving partners more time to focus on crafting beverages and connecting with customers," Starbucks said in the release. Green Dot Assist is in use in 35 Starbucks stores in the US, "with more on the way," Starbucks said in the release. CNBC reported that a broader launch of the tool across the US and Canada is scheduled for Starbucks' fiscal year 2026, which begins in the fall. The new tool fits into CEO Brian Niccol's " Back to Starbucks" game plan, which aims to make Starbucks stores more inviting, improve operations, and reduce customer wait times. As part of the plan, Starbucks announced it would eliminate 30% of its menu offerings before the end of the fiscal year and has introduced a new mobile ordering system. The chain is also ramping up hiring baristas to fix its long-standing understaffing problem. Niccol said in April that Starbucks was focusing more on hiring baristas than on investing in equipment. "We're finding through our work that investments in labor, rather than equipment, are more effective at improving throughput and driving transaction growth," Niccol said on the company's earnings call in April.

Mark Zuckerberg has created the saddest place on the internet with Meta AI's public feed
Meta's stand-alone AI app launched in late April, and like many people, my first thought was, "Huh?" After trying it out a little, my next thought was, "Oh no." A few weeks later, after the initial surge of curious new users, my thought is now: "Dear God." Meta AI's public stream is perhaps the most depressing feed I've come across in a long time. It's full of people sharing intimate information about themselves — things like thoughts on grief, or child custody, or financial distress. And it seems like some people aren't aware that what they're sharing will end up on a public feed. The Meta AI app is a bot more geared to casual chatting than complicated tasks like writing code or analyzing large data sets. And the part that's most different from ChatGPT or other large language models, like Google's Gemini, is Meta AI's public "Discover" feed. It shows off prompts, conversations, and image outputs from other users. Think of it like your Facebook feed, or your never-ending Instagram scroll, except on an app just for Meta AI. I'm not sure why someone would want to share some of the things I've read — nor am I sure why anyone who's not a nosy weirdo like I am would want to look at a feed of a bunch of strangers' interactions with a chatbot. And yet, people do share. Maybe they want to show off something like an image they thought was particularly cool. Meta AI's 'Discover' feed is full of personal interactions Back in late April, after the initial launch, Meta AI's feed was indeed mostly images. But mixed in, I noticed a few conversations that seemed more personal — someone asking about vitamin supplements for a 65-year-old woman, or for legal advice about getting fired, or for a special prayer. When I checked back on the app more recently, I was seeing even more of these personal takes — some even including a person's phone number and email address when they asked for help drafting a letter to a judge in a child custody case. Did that person mean to share that information with the world? Maybe, but I'm guessing they might have clicked the wrong button and didn't realize what they were doing. I could be wrong! Meta spokesman Daniel Roberts told me there's a multi-step process to sharing a chat history or image to Meta AI's Discovery feed. And to be clear, conversations with Meta AI aren't public by default. Like Roberts said, you have to explicitly choose to make something public by clicking "Share" and then "Post." Some other things I saw on the public feed: someone asking for help writing a poem for his wife's birthday, someone asking medical questions, someone asking for weight-loss tips. And someone who was talking to his wife who had died from cancer. Other conversations I saw: someone asking the AI to send them a reminder at the end of the month to cancel their Experian credit-monitoring subscription. One woman asked for help writing a letter to her local Elks Lodge after she said she'd been suspended for an altercation she had with another member. So, maybe some of those people wanted the world to read their AI chats. And others, maybe not. What I found even more eerie than the text and image feed was the audio feed. If a person uses the voice chat function, you can actually listen to recordings of their conversation if they're shared. At least two recordings I listened to appeared to be from people who didn't realize they had hit the audio button. One was having a conversation with a coworker about their shift schedule. Another sounded like a pocket dial: A man was having a conversation with another person, and Meta AI kept chiming in with suggestions. I found Meta AI's Discover feed depressing in a particular way — not just because some of the questions themselves were depressing. What seemed particularly dark was that some of these people seemed unaware of what they were sharing. People's real Instagram or Facebook handles are attached to their Meta AI posts. I was able to look up some of these people's real-life profiles, although I felt icky doing so. I reached out to more than 20 people whose posts I'd come across in the feed to ask them about their experience; I heard back from one, who told me that he hadn't intended to make his chat with the bot public. (He was asking for car repair advice.) Other users can reply to the posts that show up on the Meta AI Discover feed. On a few particularly personal posts, strangers warned the user that the potentially sensitive stuff they were sharing could be seen by the public. Meta wants its AI to be the future. But this doesn't feel like it. Mark Zuckerberg has said he thinks AI is super important. His company is reportedly making a huge investment in ScaleAI and could tap its CEO to lead a project with the goal of creating "superintelligence" that's smarter than a human. And yet, the consumer-facing features using Meta AI are kind of, uh, meh. There are user-generated romance chatbots on Instagram Messenger. There were the ill-fated ones voiced by celebrities (don't ask John Cena about this). Does Meta really want its AI efforts to amount to people posting — possibly accidentally — their interactions with its Meta AI bot on a public feed? In its rollout in April, Meta said the Discover feed was a "place to share and explore how others are using AI." I have to say that most of the stuff on Meta AI's Discover feed isn't grim and overly personal. Mostly, it's just silly images, mixed in with some other anodyne requests for recipes, or questions about how to even use this new technology. But I'm not convinced that this is "useful" or even "fun" to look at as a feed; it's a jumble of unrelated, random stuff, most of which actually is pretty boring. If Meta wants its users to adopt its AI like it's a useful and great thing, it's hard to square this with my awful experience on the Meta AI app.
