The $4 Billion Problem Hiding in Nearly Every Fast-Food Location

You show up to your favorite fast-food restaurant for a quick meal. But the line is too long, and you’re starving. So you bail.

You’re not alone. 93% of monthly fast-food visitors in America say their top frustration is long lines. And while you miss out on chicken nuggets and fries, restaurant owners lose significant revenue they can’t afford to miss.

So brands like White Castle use Miso Robotics’ AI-powered kitchen restaurant robots to run their fry stations, keeping kitchen operations smooth, workers safe, and customers happy.

Aided by a collaboration with NVIDIA, Miso’s AI-powered Flippy Fry Station robot works 2X faster than average fry cooks. That means operators serve more customers and unlock up to 3X more profits per location. And that means much shorter lines for you.

Join 39,000+ people as an early-stage investor before Miso scales across a $4B annual revenue opportunity. Hurry for bonus shares.

Perplexity Unveils “Computer” and “Computer for Enterprise” to Power Autonomous AI Workflows

Perplexity AI announced Computer, a new agent-powered system designed to perform real tasks across the web and software tools, alongside Computer for Enterprise, a version tailored for businesses and internal workflows. The platform allows AI agents to browse websites, analyze documents, interact with applications, and execute multi-step actions on behalf of users rather than simply returning answers.

The enterprise edition adds security controls, workspace integrations, and organizational knowledge access, enabling companies to deploy AI agents that can automate research, reporting, and operational tasks across internal systems. The launch signals Perplexity’s expansion from AI search into agentic operating environments, where AI functions more like a digital worker capable of completing workflows autonomously.

Webflow Acquires AI Content Generation Platform Vidoso

Website platform Webflow has acquired AI content generation startup Vidoso to expand its marketing capabilities beyond traditional site building. Founded in 2024, Vidoso uses large language models to generate marketing assets—including blog posts, social media content, presentations, images, and short video clips from long-form content such as talks or webinars.

Cribl Adds Agentic AI to Observability Platform

Cribl launched a next-generation version of Cribl Search featuring an agentic telemetry architecture for managing and analyzing operational logs. The system uses AI agents to automatically investigate incidents, optimize log pipelines, and improve security and IT operations workflows. This reflects a broader shift toward AI agents managing infrastructure observability.

Gumloop Lands $50M to Turn Employees into AI Agent Builders

AI automation startup Gumloop raised $50 million in a Series B round led by Benchmark to expand its platform that enables businesses to create and deploy AI agents for internal workflows. The company’s system allows non-technical employees to automate multi-step tasks—such as data processing, research, and operational workflows—using natural language rather than code. The funding reflects growing demand for agent-builder platforms that transform knowledge workers into creators of autonomous AI workflows, a space increasingly contested by tools like Zapier, n8n, and emerging enterprise agent frameworks.

Onyx Security Raises $40M to Build Control Plane for AI Agents

Startup Onyx Security launched with $40 million in funding to develop a secure control plane for managing AI agents across enterprise environments. The platform focuses on governance, monitoring, and security for autonomous systems, enabling companies to safely deploy and scale AI agents across workflows and infrastructure. Investors backing the round include Conviction and Cyberstarts.

Galileo Launches "Agent Control" to Standardize Enterprise Guardrails

Galileo has released Agent Control, an open-source (Apache 2.0) control plane designed to provide centralized governance and guardrails for AI agents at scale. The platform allows enterprises to define behavioral policies once and enforce them across diverse agent deployments, addressing the primary blocker for production-grade agents: safety and reliability. Launch partners include AWS, CrewAI, and Glean, signaling a move toward industry-wide standards for agentic oversight.

Wonderful Raises $150M Series B at $2B Valuation to Build Enterprise AI Agents

AI startup Wonderful has raised $150 million in a Series B round at a $2 billion valuation, accelerating development of its platform for deploying enterprise AI agents. The company focuses on building autonomous systems that can execute operational workflows across departments such as sales, marketing, and customer support.

The funding signals growing investor confidence in agent platforms that move beyond copilots toward full task execution, positioning Wonderful among a new wave of startups building the infrastructure layer for enterprise agent adoption.
