Webinar Series: Running Agents in Customer Work
Every AI vendor reports a resolution rate. No two calculate it the same way, and none of them tell you whether the replies were actually good.
Running Agents in Customer Work is four 30-minute sessions for the leaders who have to make agentic AI work in support, success, and ops. Session 4 gets into how to score quality at volume without reading every transcript, and the questions to ask a vendor about what their resolution math leaves out.
Four Tuesdays, Oct. 13 through Nov. 3, 10 a.m. PT. Register today, one sign-up covers all four.
Welcome back! OP here again, helping you with another addition of Agent Pulse - your go-to spot for agentic news, insights and more.

🗺️ Agents Landscape Map
The Hacker News covered Glow’s finding of more than 13,000 internal images from over 300 organizations in public repositories. Glow says agents published screenshots to facilitate code review, exposing material including billing records and unreleased features. The original disclosure appeared September 29; the full scale and methodology were not independently established in the coverage.
The strategic shift: Even routine requests to demonstrate completed work can cause data exposure when agents choose public hosting.
Announced September 29; covered September 30. Robinhood introduced in-app agents for research, strategy development and trading through dedicated accounts. Manual trade approval defaults to on, and recurring “Loops” are planned. Robinhood reports 150,000-plus agentic accounts and nearly 30 million daily tool uses from its existing third-party-agent program. The new Agents and Agent Apps are described as coming soon.
The strategic shift: Consumer brokerages are packaging agent execution, spending boundaries and premium data into a mainstream interface.
Announced September 29; covered September 30. Salesforce signed an agreement to acquire Listen Labs, whose agents design studies, recruit participants, conduct interviews and synthesize findings. Salesforce cites access to more than 50 million research participants across over 120 languages. The official announcement does not disclose a purchase price.
The strategic shift: Customer-research agents can supply richer context for marketing, service and other enterprise agents.

Covered September 30; Nature paper published September 16. Paper2Agent converts papers, associated code and workflows into tested MCP tools that agents can use for scientific analysis. Researchers successfully processed 74 of 100 computational-biology papers, with 593 of 599 proposed tools passing automated validation. Missing code, data and dependency problems remained barriers.
The strategic shift: Research dissemination could increasingly include reusable agents that apply methods to new data.
Zendesk began rolling out an automatic migration tool for AI agents–Essential, with availability scheduled across eligible accounts by October 6. It transfers existing configurations into the upgraded agent experience as Essential functionality is retired. Separately, Zendesk made Knowledge and Welcome replies configurable for agentic email agents starting September 30.
The strategic shift: Established support platforms are moving customers from legacy bots into more capable agents while preserving configuration work.
Pharos announced an Agent Native upgrade, beginning with sponsored transactions on its testnet, an AI portal and a natural-language interaction widget. The rollout also includes an AnvitaMate collaboration, with further releases planned during the quarter. The initiative aims to support agents that transact and coordinate onchain.
The strategic shift: Blockchain platforms are adapting account and payment infrastructure for software agents acting as economic participants.
