"So, if APIs can sometimes fail during a workflow, how can they also be the key to improving the agentic decision-making ability? To begin with, APIs let agentic workflows tap into live data streams rather than relying on static inputs. This means AI agents can make informed decisions based on what’s happening at the moment instead of reacting to outdated information. Then, APIs are what enable agentic workflows to identify what services they need to connect to. Discovery APIs can inform agentic workflows of available APIs for specific tasks. Finally, individual tasks need APIs to be executed. Altogether, I'd say that without APIs you wouldn't be able to extract value from agentic workflows.

Here's an example of what an agentic workflow can look like. Consider the work of an academic researcher and how an agentic workflow could help. Instead of manually sifting through articles, an AI researcher can autonomously search for relevant information using the Google Scholar API—which, by the way, only exists via SerpApi, not officially. Once it gathers a set of sources, it processes and summarizes the findings using GPT models, extracting key insights from each document. These insights are then organized and stored in a structured format using something like the Notion API. Finally, the AI researcher sends a daily digest via Slack API. The whole workflow works autonomously and can switch to other APIs if needed."

"Conversational AI agents may develop the ability to covertly influence our intentions, creating a new commercial frontier that researchers call the “intention economy”.

The near future could see AI assistants that forecast and influence our decision-making at an early stage, and sell these developing “intentions” in real-time to companies that can meet the need – even before we have made up our minds.

This is according to AI ethicists from the University of Cambridge, who say we are at the dawn of a “lucrative yet troubling new marketplace for digital signals of intent”, from buying movie tickets to voting for candidates. They call this the Intention Economy.

Researchers from Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) argue that the explosion in generative AI, and our increasing familiarity with chatbots, opens a new frontier of “persuasive technologies” – one hinted at in recent corporate announcements by tech giants.

“Anthropomorphic” AI agents, from chatbot assistants to digital tutors and girlfriends, will have access to vast quantities of intimate psychological and behavioural data, often gleaned via informal, conversational spoken dialogue."

The coming wave of AI-driven automation in UK higher education

What could go wrong? 👀 just registered for this event in January

This free online event from Wonkhe and Salesforce will explore how AI powered technology can make a tangible impact. We’ll also take a deeper look into the concept of autonomous agents – AI driven tools that can handle complex tasks autonomously. From enabling more personalised interactions with potential applications to automating routine tasks and streamlining communications, we’ll explore how AI can enable different kinds of connections with applicants as well as creating additional capacity for staff to handle other priorities.

Student admissions and recruitment staff, like many in universities, are juggling competing pressures on their time. Rising competition, an increased focus on international student recruitment as well as budget constraints making working efficiently more important than ever – all while putting extra pressure on those managing admissions. At the same time, students expect more individualised and responsive engagement with their prospective institutions.

"OpenAI is preparing to launch a new artificial intelligence agent codenamed “Operator” that can use a computer to take actions on a person’s behalf, such as writing code or booking travel, according to two people familiar with the matter.

In a staff meeting on Wednesday, OpenAI’s leadership announced plans to release the tool in January as a research preview and through the company’s application programming interface for developers, said one of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters."
