-Redis, the fast data platform, plans to acquire real-time data platform Decodable.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs AI enters its next phase, the challenge isn\u2019t proving what language models can do, it\u2019s giving them the context and memory to act with relevance and reliability,\u201d said Rowan Trollope, CEO of Redis. \u201cAs technology becomes ever more reliant on LLMs, the strategic investment we\u2019re making in Decodable\u2019s platform will make it easier for developers to build and expand data pipelines, and convert that data into context within Redis, so it\u2019s fast and always available in the right place at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded by data infrastructure veteran Eric Sammer, Decodable is a serverless platform that simplifies real-time data ingestion, transformation, and delivery. Its technology replaces weeks of custom pipeline engineering with a declarative service that scales automatically.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining Redis allows us to take Decodable\u2019s vision further and get there faster,\u201d said Sammer. \u201cTogether, we can give developers a seamless way to connect and act on their data in real time, unlocking AI systems that are more capable, responsive, and deeply embedded in the workflows they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n
-Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company, the firm behind the Dia and Arc browsers. Together, the companies intend to deliver \u201cthe browser for knowledge work in the AI era\u201d.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s browsers were built before the explosion of SaaS apps, and well before the current AI revolution. \u201cOptimised to appeal to the consumer masses, browsers were not designed for the knowledge workers who rely on them to get things done,\u201d said Atlassian. \u201cFor these workers, each tab contains a different workflow to move forward, a meeting to schedule, a design to review, a memo to write. Current browsers are passive bystanders, unaware of that context and unable to connect business processes, holding up work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atlassian and The Browser Company intend to change this by making Dia the AI browser for work, that is:<\/p>\n
Optimised for the SaaS apps where knowledge workers spend their day. Whether work is happening in email, a project management tool, or a design app, tabs will be enriched with context that helps move work forward<\/p>\n
Packed with AI skills and personal work memory to connect the dots between apps, tabs, and tasks<\/p>\n
Built with trust and security in mind, so company data is protected<\/p>\n
-In a world where buyers expect everything on demand, sales teams are still asking leads to fill out a form and wait for a demo. Supersonik is here to end the wait.<\/p>\n
Launched from stealth with $5m in seed funding, the company is introducing an autonomous, multilingual AI agent that instantly joins live video calls, showcases real software in action, and adapts every demo to the buyer in real time.<\/p>\n
The seed round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and joined by strategic angels from Google, DeepMind, and Salesforce, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur vision is simple,\u201d said Daniel Carmona, CEO of Supersonik. \u201cEvery prospect should be able to click a button and get a live, personalised demo of real software, in their own language, the moment they are ready. No forms, wait-lists, or back-and-forth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Supersonik is available on demand, in almost every language, at the exact moment a buyer signals intent.<\/p>\n
Companies can place a button on their website that lets buyers request a demo instantly at peak intent. They can re-engage leads that went cold with a live conversation instead of just another email. They can use Supersonik to qualify and route prospects in real time or even upsell new features in existing accounts.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach scenario delivers the same advantage: scale every demo without stretching sales teams thin,\u201d says the provider.<\/p>\n
