Daily AI News
for Executives

Three announcements this week share a single thread: AI stopped being the thing you talk to and started being the thing that does the work. Microsoft launched Copilot Tasks — a to-do list that completes itself on its own virtual computer. Perplexity shipped Perplexity Computer, orchestrating nineteen specialized AI models like a full department. And Anthropic expanded its Cowork plugins so Claude now lives inside Excel, Gmail, Slack, and dozens of enterprise tools.

Stephen Forte breaks down what each means for business leaders, why the open-source alternative isn't ready for operators, and how companies like Spotify, the NYSE, and Novo Nordisk are already deploying AI in production — not through top-down mandates, but by letting curious employees experiment.
