London – October 06, 2026 -- Orgvue has launched a Web Model Context Protocol (WebMCP) interface, becoming one of the first software vendors to adopt the emerging standard for connecting trusted AI agents directly to its organizational design platform.

WebMCP links AI agents to live Orgvue workspaces for natural-language queries

The interface connects a customer's chosen AI agent to an already-open Orgvue Workspace browser tab, allowing agents to use pre-built tools to respond to natural language requests. This adds a structured, machine-readable layer on top of the browser interface, letting users see and verify the actions agents take within the platform.

San Francisco – October 02, 2026 -- Supabase has raised $150 million in new funding led by GIC, with Alphabet's independent growth fund CapitalG, IronArc, and SquarePeg also participating, just four months after closing a $500 million Series F round. Alongside the raise, the open source Postgres development platform announced it is acquiring Turso, a database platform built to handle high-volume provisioning for agentic workloads.

Supabase now adds 1 million users and 4 million databases every month

Seventy percent of those new databases are created by agents or AI-driven tools rather than human developers, the company said. The figure follows a 600% year-over-year increase in database creation reported in June, when agent-driven deployments had already become the majority on the platform.

Cary, N.C. – October 02, 2026 -- SAS and North Carolina State University have launched the SAS Think & Do Tank, a two-year pilot research partnership applying data and AI to human health, nutrition and environmental resilience challenges, 50 years after SAS originated from an NC State agricultural research project.

Partnership targets faster drug discovery through translational predictive biology

One of the initiative's first research efforts focuses on translational predictive biology, combining studies in living systems with advanced lab models such as organoids and organ-on-chip technologies that mimic human organ function. NC State researchers aim to build predictive models that help identify promising treatments earlier, explain why interventions succeed or fail, and cut the time and cost of moving new therapies toward clinical use.
