Startup WisdomAI has raised a $50 million Series A for its AI-driven data analytics. It can work not only with structured and unstructured data, but also with so-called “dirty” data that hasn’t had typos or errors removed. To avoid hallucinations, WisdomAI uses LLMs to write queries, but not answers.
Adtech platform Innovid has launched Innovid Orchestrator, an orchestration superagent that works throughout the advertising process. It includes both pre-built AI agents and the ability to Bring Your Own Agents (BYOA). An intelligence layer provides context for real-time decision-making.
In a global report from Twilio, 59% of organizations say they expect to fully replace their current AI solution in less than a year. It’s a reminder that things are changing rapidly in the AI world, so companies shouldn’t commit too much in a single product that will soon be obsolete. Human agents, on the other hand, aren’t looking obsolete: 78% of consumers consider it important to be able to switch from an AI agent to a person.
Meta has announced agreements with USA Today, People Inc., and other news publishers to pay for access to their content and link to their articles in its AI chatbot.

Despite this deal, Meta apparently still opposes compensating publishers for news links in social media posts.
