TOGETHER WITH IBM
Boost the impact of your agentic AI
Leaders today face critical challenges when going from AI ambition to practical implementation.
One of the biggest obstacles is integration. While integration is critical to unlocking AI’s value, CIOs may not feel fully prepared to manage and integrate AI technology into their existing business.
This can lead to AI agents and assistants operating in silos, which can be a barrier to progress.
Explore IBM’s playbook detailing 3 challenges and approaches you can take to help boost the impact of your agentic AI.

💡 Lovable hits 8M user milestone
🚨 Our Report
Stockholm-based AI coding startup Lovable is approaching 8M users, up from 2.3M in July, CEO Anton Osika confirmed at Web Summit in Lisbon. The company, founded one year ago, sees 100,000 products built daily and has raised $228M to date, including a $200M Series A that valued it at $1.8B.
🔓 Key Points
Lovable’s user base has tripled in four months, with more than half of Fortune 500 companies using the platform to accelerate internal software creation and prototyping.
The company reached $100M in annual recurring revenue in June, though Osika declined to share updated figures amid questions about whether the “vibe coding” trend is cooling.
Despite a 40% inflow dip reported by Barclays analysts in September, retention remains above 100%, and the company has surpassed 100 employees, adding leadership from San Francisco.
🔐 Relevance
Lovable’s surge shows how low-code AI tools are reshaping software creation, letting non-developers build apps at enterprise scale. For business leaders, this signals faster product cycles and lower development fees, but also a need to track sustainability as hype-driven adoption stabilizes.
TOGETHER WITH ORBIT FLOWS

But how do you build unique brand profiles AI won’t forget? Or fit enough context into a chat?
You use Orbit Flows, the only multi-model AI system specifically built for professional copywriters.

Case Study
How AI cut disputes and sped up cash flow
Danone struggled with inefficiencies in HR and operations, with manual data entry causing billing errors and delayed payments.
1000s of daily orders arrived in inconsistent formats. This created pricing mismatches and frequent disputes that strained customer relationships and slowed collection.
The company deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot and autonomous agents to automate validation, detect discrepancies, and prefill HR and order data accurately.
Results included faster order handling, fewer billing disputes, and improved inflows. Employees gained time to focus on innovation and higher-value work.
AI News Story
Google Maps adds AI builder tools for developers
Google has introduced Gemini-powered tools that let developers create interactive map projects using natural language prompts. The update includes a “builder agent” that can generate prototypes.
The release adds a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to Maps documentation, helping developers query APIs and integrate Maps data into their own apps.
These updates expand Google Maps from navigation into a low-code platform for AI-driven applications, giving developers faster ways to build and test interactive experiences.
