AI automation
Cognition's $48 billion valuation for its AI coding agent Devin proves investors are betting big on autonomous AI agents, not just chatbots.

AI Overviews cut organic click-through rates by 23.1% on average, according to an Ahrefs study of French search results. For estate agents and other UK businesses, this means ranking first on Google no longer guarantees the same enquiry volume it did two years ago, because AI assistants and AI
