Perplexity’s AI-native browser reimagines search. Perplexity launched what it calls the world’s first AI-native browser—designed for agentic interaction from the ground up. Instead of typing in a search bar, users can delegate tasks, navigate content, and get summarized answers. It’s not just a new way to browse—it’s a new way to interact with the internet.
Intel spins out RealSense to scale physical AI. RealSense, Intel’s computer vision group, has spun out as an independent company with $50 million in funding. Its 3D depth sensors already power more than half the world’s autonomous robots.

Vertical AI in Action
AI is helping South African banks get ahead of compliance risk. Faced with tightening financial crime regulations, top banks in South Africa are turning to vertical AI to meet compliance demands with speed and precision. AI-powered monitoring is helping compliance teams detect risk earlier, reduce false positives, and improve audit-readiness.
Southern Co-op uses AI to localize store assortments. UK-based Southern Co-op is using AI to optimize product assortment and shelf space across its grocery network. The result: smarter decisions that reflect local demand, reduce stockouts, and improve profitability—without burdening store teams.
AI for fincrime: faster, smarter, and more accurate. Financial institutions are replacing rule-based alert systems with AI built specifically for financial crime prevention. These solutions improve detection accuracy while cutting down on noise—helping analysts move faster and focus on what really matters.
