Las Vegas – October 29, 2026 -- Oracle says 25 of its 75 packaged agentic applications for Fusion are now Claw-enabled. Claw is a governed runtime that executes analyst-grade work in finance, supply chain and workforce planning and commits results to Fusion within business-set limits. Oracle announced the expansion at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas on October 26, 2026, and says all of it is available in the current Fusion release.

Oracle extends Claw across ERP, HCM, SCM and CX applications

Oracle first introduced Claw on September 29, 2026. The runtime takes over when an agentic application needs deep analysis across millions of records. Its scope covers reconciliation, analysis, planning, simulation and optimization, and runs can last hours.

Palm Beach Gardens – October 29, 2026 -- The Digital WOW, powered by ConsultPR.net, held its annual member-benefit webinar for M&A Source on October 21, 2026, and devoted nearly the entire session to the impact of artificial intelligence on advisor marketing.

Webinar targets advisors handling $2 million to $100 million deals

M&A Source members are lower middle market advisors who buy and sell businesses with revenue between $2 million and $100 million.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- NVIDIA has released Kumo, a family of open models, libraries and tools for predictive AI on structured data, and Snowflake customers can run it on GPU compute without moving data out of their accounts. The release is part of NVIDIA's new Agent Knowledge Foundation, a set of open models and libraries meant to help enterprise agents retrieve evidence, apply consistent business meaning, predict outcomes and optimize actions.

Kumo trains graph neural networks on full relational structure

The NVIDIA Kumo Relational model and NVIDIA Kumo Engine, an open-source package, train graph neural networks across an enterprise's relational graph. Kumo learns from tables, the keys connecting them and the timing of events. Teams do not need to flatten these links into a single wide table.

Texas – October 29, 2026 -- 42 North Dental recovered more than $7 million in patient accounts receivable in seven months using IntelePeer's AI agents, including $1.8 million from balances older than 180 days, according to the vendor's customer data. The figures come as dental support organizations (DSOs) with 20 to 200 locations face no-show rates of 30% to 40% and a front-desk hiring shortage.

No-shows and unanswered calls drain production before patients reach the chair

IntelePeer identifies no-show rates of 30% to 40% for new-patient appointments as the leading driver of lost production in multi-site dental groups. It also reports that 85% of patients who cannot reach a practice do not call back and go to a competitor. Calls go unanswered at peak hours, during lunch and whenever front-desk staff turn over.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- Some 34 percent of employees still struggle to find the information they need to do their jobs, according to Gartner's Market Guide for Enterprise AI Search, published in September 2025. Enterprises are now rearchitecting search around retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic AI, a shift that can multiply inference costs by three to five times at scale.

Gartner finds 36 percent of AI tool users still cannot access relevant information

Roughly 49 percent of workers now rely primarily on AI tools such as Copilot or Gemini for data discovery rather than traditional search interfaces. Yet 36 percent of those users still report difficulty reaching relevant information.
