AI Agents: The Rundown

There are several different types of agentic AI, all serving different purposes and bringing new capabilities to the table. First, observability software allows for AI agents to be transparent, traceable and trustworthy. Especially as this software becomes more autonomous, it is especially important for humans to understand the what and why of its actions. Agent Frameworks are the backbone of building smarter agents, supporting more complex systems moving forward. The memory sector helps develop how agents learn, remember and understand the context of an input.

How AI Agents are Affecting the World of Healthcare

Although agentic AI was previously less than 1% of enterprise software in healthcare, usage is expected to surge to 33% by 2028. This is largely because of advancements in agentic AI, now able to autonomously complete tasks and work without human input. In healthcare, this means that these agents are able to take care of back-end operations such as insurance verification, prescription refill orders or indexing inbound documents.

Explore the 100 Most Popular Uses of AI

The team at Qualtrics compiled a list of the 100 most popular uses of AI with data on how these categories changed in popularity from 2024 to 2025. Among this huge list, we can see some patterns emerge. The most popular use for AI in 2025 is for personal and professional support. Use in this category nearly doubled from 2024 to 2025. People use AI to organize their lives, manage their time and create schedules, prepare for job interviews, plan their workouts, and even manage parenting and emotional situations. Now, some use it to simulate a conversation with deceased loved ones or as a coach to improve confidence. Overall, we can see that AI used as a therapist or counselor is the most popular use case in 2025. This is somewhat surprising and perhaps concerning since generative AI doesn’t actually think or empathize as a human. It’s a predictive text model with responses based on probability. Even so, it seems many users find it helpful to reflect and sort through their thoughts and feelings with the help of AI.

In its latest event, OpenAI revealed that it is launching a desktop app of ChatGPT, a new and faster model ‘GPT-4o,’ and bringing UI changes to ChatGPT on web.



ChatGPT works a little differently in the desktop app. When you open it on your desktop next to a program, ChatGPT can answer any queries related to whatever is displayed on your screen. To ask questions, you can use the Option + Space keyboard shortcut, as well as take and share screenshots with the app to obtain ChatGPT’s response. Currently, the app’s availability is only limited to ChatGPT Plus users, but it will be expanded to all users with a broader rollout in the coming weeks.

 

OpenAI Announces a New ChatGPT Desktop App for MacOS



ChatGPT has been updated with a new ‘Memory’ feature exclusively for ChatGPT Plus subscribers, that can permanently store details about users, such as their personal information, queries, prompts, and other customizations. The feature was first rolled out to a limited number of people in February of 2024.

 

The Memory feature functions in two ways: one by being asked by the user to remember specific information, and the other by self-learning from conversations, which is akin to how algorithmic systems work in apps. Once ChatGPT saves the information, it can make conversations with users more customizable without needing any reminders.

Google is testing a new AI bot that makes conversations with people using their speech as input. The model was developed for the purpose of helping people practise a new language.

 

Google rolled out this conversational AI bot back in October of last year, but it was underdeveloped at the time as its capability was limited to providing feedback on spoken sentences. In the latest updated version, the bot can now help users practice having ongoing conversations in the language they are learning; although it currently only supports conversations in English.

As its latest major move in the world of AI, tech giant Meta has added its AI chatbot on all of its platforms: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger (minus Threads). The chatbot is available on each of these apps as a dedicated search bar.

 

Meta’s AI chatbot is powered by the company’s Llama 3 model – Meta’s most powerful AI model yet (even better than ChatGPT), and which it claims to be “the most intelligent AI assistant” that can be used for free. This should automatically make Meta’s integrated AI chatbot one of the best AI assistants out there too.

Apple’s research department is pitching a prototype of a new generative AI animation tool ‘Keyframer,’ that enables adding motion to 2D images with prompts.

 

Apple is keen on exploring large language models (LLMs) in animation for their potential, just like in text and image generation. Earlier, Apple introduced Human Gaussian Splats (HUGS) that creates animation-ready human avatars from video clips, and MGIE that edits images using text prompts, among its latest generative AI projects

 

In a research paper that the company published last week, it explains that Keyframer is powered by OpenAI’s GPT4 model and collects data in the form of Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) files. It then produces a CSS code that animates the image based on a text-based prompt. These prompts can be anything that describe how the animation must look like, e.g. “make the frog jump.”
