New innovations include expanding AI Companion 3.0 more broadly across the Zoom platform and introducing custom AI agents to orchestrate workflows in Zoom and third-party systems Zoom’s system of action drives conversation to completion with new agentic workflows and CX AI features across Zoom Workplace, Phone, and CX products LAS VEGAS, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced the expansion of its enterprise agentic AI platform, introducing new workflow orchestration capabilities across Zoom Workplace, Zoom Phone, and Zoom CX. The updates extend Zoom’s system of action for modern work, enabling organizations to automate tasks, trigger cross-system workflows, and turn meetings, calls, and customer interactions into completed business outcomes. As enterprises scale artificial intelligence initiatives, many remain limited to AI assistants that summarize conversations but rely on manual follow-through across disconnected systems. Moreover, while collaboration tools capture dialogue and systems of record store data, execution often remains fragmented. Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to close this gap by embedding workflow automation directly into meetings, calls, chat, and contact center interactions so conversations automatically trigger action across enterprise systems. “The next phase of enterprise AI will be defined by the ability to move from conversation to action,” said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of Product & Engineering at Zoom. “Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to orchestrate action across systems, turning every meeting, call, and customer interaction into a trigger for workflow automation.” Zoom enterprise agentic AI 3.0 platform: Key enhancements The enhancements announced today include: Custom and prebuilt AI agents with no-code orchestration New third-party integrations for AI Companion, including 10 secure enterprise search connectors New AI-first canvases (Zoom AI Docs, AI Sheets, and AI Slides) Zoom Phone Mobile SMS for Zoom Virtual Agent AI Receptionist AI Expert Assist 3.0 for Zoom Contact Center Natural-language customer workflow orchestration Meeting security enhancements AI Companion: Premium AI built for businesses The Zoom AI Companion offering is significantly expanding, with AI Companion 3.0 rolling out across the Zoom Workplace app, Zoom Business Services, and Workvivo, to accelerate conversation-to-completion workflows via the 3.0 AI tech stack.

Built on insights from 500 million devices, the open, vendor-agnostic Plume Platform unifies network intelligence and AI orchestration to engage, support and retain subscribers across the full customer lifecycle, on any hardware, cloud, or AI model. PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Plume Design, Inc. ("Plume"), the global technology platform trusted by more than 450 Internet Service Providers across 58 countries, today announced a major evolution of its platform, delivering the only open, vendor-agnostic carrier-grade Agentic AI orchestration platform for ISP operations. Open by design, the enhanced Plume platform will autonomously monitor network conditions, diagnose issues, and resolve subscriber problems, across any network, any CPE, and any AI model, transforming how ISPs operate, compete, and grow. The goal is straightforward: subscribers get rock-solid connectivity and services that are easy to live with. ISPs build the Subscriber Confidence that drives lasting loyalty and future growth, at the lowest cost to serve. The Plume platform is now fortified with Sweepr, one of the industry's leading customer care orchestration platforms. What makes this announcement significant is what changed. Sweepr has earned a strong reputation among ISPs for its AI-powered care workflows and now, elevated and deeply integrated with Plume's network intelligence layer, serves as the foundation of Agentic AI orchestration across the full subscriber journey. From the moment a subscriber connects through every interaction that follows, Plume's network, device, and application intelligence feeds the Agentic AI engine with the context needed to make every engagement relevant, personalized, and effective, keeping more interactions in the digital domain where they can be resolved faster and at lower cost. The result is every ISP touchpoint, whether digital, voice, or agent-assisted, delivering the right outcome, fast and securely. "Customer care is fundamental to our mission, and this platform marks a turning point for the industry. For the first time, ISPs can deliver AI-optimized experiences across the entire customer lifecycle, from onboarding to support, that build real, lasting Subscriber Confidence," said Dan Herscovici, President and CEO of Plume. "Unlike anything else in the market, our open platform works across any CPE vendor, any cloud partner, and any AI model because we believe operators should control their infrastructure choices, not be locked into a single ecosystem. We are giving ISPs the tools to deploy sophisticated support journeys in minutes rather than months, and the deep network and subscriber context to resolve issues the right way, right now. We will keep doing what it takes to put the world's best ISPs ahead." Built for ISPs to Win The platform is organized around three capabilities that work in sequence across the full subscriber lifecycle, from acquisition and onboarding through support and retention. Intelligence converts telemetry across users, devices, applications, and services into real-time, actionable insight. Orchestration acts on that insight through Agentic AI workflows that fix connectivity problems and initiate resolutions without waiting for a ticket. Engagement delivers that value across every touchpoint through open APIs that connect subscriber-facing apps, ISP dashboards, and every channel an ISP operates, including IVR, chat, social, app and web. When subscribers get rock-solid connectivity and services that are easy to live with, Subscriber Confidence follows. When ISPs can deliver that at the lowest cost to serve, that is a sustainable competitive advantage. Live deployments are already producing measurable results. TELUS, one of Canada's largest operators, prevented over 550,000 call center calls, achieving an 80% digital resolution rate, a 91% subscriber engagement rate across digital journeys, and a 60% improvement in team productivity through Sweepr's platform, while reducing workflow deployment time from two weeks to four days. For new ISPs, deployments go live in as little as 12 weeks across diverse network and business environments. With the enhanced Agentic AI platform now available, the opportunity to drive even greater operational efficiency and Subscriber Confidence is within reach for ISPs of any size. Agentic AI That Is Carrier-Validated and Proven at Scale Sweepr came to Plume already trusted by leading service providers, independently funded, and tested through years of real-world deployments. Plume's acquisition brought Sweepr's proven customer care journey foundation together with Plume's network intelligence layer, and the combination is what made Agentic AI orchestration possible at this scale. No other company pairs a connectivity intelligence platform of this size with care orchestration that spans the full subscriber journey. New capabilities give operators the ability to generate or edit support flows using natural language prompts, cutting deployment time from months to minutes. The new LLM Fabric, built on a Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture, connects large language models to the technical reality of ISP networks to deliver advanced care support across every channel. Horizontal AI platforms can improve how an ISP handles simple interactions. What they cannot do is reliably manage the complexity of technical support: hooking into backend systems, rebooting routers, switching WiFi channels, reading telemetry within a deterministic, auditable framework that an ISP can stand behind. Plume takes a hybrid approach starting with deterministic pathways built on deep ISP knowledge of the customer lifecycle paired with layers of the Agentic AI fabric on top providing a governed and iterative framework that does not drift, does not guess, and keeps ISPs in total control. "Getting Agentic AI right in an ISP environment takes two things: the deepest network intelligence in the industry and the human expertise to know what to do with it," said Alan Coleman, Chief Product Officer at Plume. "Sweepr's team spent years solving ISP care: subscriber support that is fast, contextual, personal and affordable to deliver. Plume's engineers bring decades of understanding exactly what is happening inside a connected home, across half a billion devices, with the security and reliability that ISPs around the world stake their reputation on. Put those two together and you have something genuinely different. AI that acts, resolves and builds the kind of subscriber relationships that drive growth at the lowest cost to serve. For ISPs, deploying Plume is the difference between a customer for a year and a customer for life." Agentic AI Platform Capabilities LLM-Agnostic Flexibility: ISPs can integrate their preferred large language model or opt for a managed service with a pre-embedded model, with no forced dependency on any single AI provider. Experience Builder Evolution: Agentic prompt editing and enhanced content reuse cut authoring time for complex support journeys from months to minutes. Journey Viewer: Generative AI-powered summaries give support agents a clear picture of each customer's history and suggested next steps. Journey Optimizer: Dashboard alerts surface meaningful shifts in network behavior and customer intent so operators can respond before issues escalate. Real-Time Performance Tracking: A dedicated LLM Evaluation model lets operators monitor accuracy and adherence metrics as they happen. Continuous Autonomous Resolution: Network intelligence directly triggers subscriber-facing care journeys, resolving issues before they become support calls. Open by Design, Secure by Default The platform runs as a cloud-native, software-based solution with no hardware lock-in and no rip-and-replace requirements. It works with any CPE vendor, any major hyperscaler including Google, AWS, and Microsoft, and any LLM. ISPs keep their existing investments and stay in control of their own infrastructure decisions. "Everything we build advances on open standards because the future of the ISP ecosystem depends on interoperability and trust," said Chris Griffiths, CTO at Plume. "Our commitment to frameworks like RDK and prpl, and our focus on security at every layer of the stack, ensures that as we bring Agentic AI into the network, operators and their subscribers can rely on Plume to do it responsibly and openly." Successful orchestration at this scale does not happen in isolation. Plume works end-to-end across the ISP ecosystem, with more than 40 ODM partners and deep engagement across hardware, software, and network layers. That breadth of integration is what gives Plume the industry context to convert open standards into measurable operator adoption, and it is what creates rock-solid connectivity for subscribers in 58 countries. Availability Agentic AI care orchestration is available now as an add-on pre-integrated offering for existing Plume platform customers and as a standalone offering for ISPs evaluating the platform for the first time. Additional capabilities will be phased in as Plume continues to expand what the platform can do. Plume is also extending invitations to AI-forward ISPs to participate in the next round of platform enhancements. This is not limited by size or geographical location. Whether you are a regional provider or a global operator, what matters is a genuine commitment to advancing AI-driven orchestration across the full subscriber lifecycle. ISPs interested in shaping what comes next can reach out directly to learn more at plume.com. Looking Ahead In the coming quarters, Plume will further deepen Agentic AI workflows into network operations, subscriber applications, and revenue optimization. The direction is clear: from reactive support to predictive, self-healing and confident customer experiences that give ISPs a durable competitive edge.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2026, image-to-3D AI is increasingly assessed through a practical lens: not how convincingly a model looks on screen, but how reliably it performs in 3D printing workflows. As additive manufacturing moves deeper into customized production and short-run manufacturing, the ability to translate photos into printable geometry has become a defining requirement for AI-driven modeling tools. Within this context, Hitem3D has drawn attention to its focus on production-oriented image-to-3D generation. Rather than positioning itself as a general-purpose creative platform, Hitem3D aligns its capabilities with the structural demands of fabrication, where mesh consistency, resolution, and downstream behavior are critical. A recurring challenge in photo-based 3D printing lies in geometry reliability. Models that appear visually complete may still fail during slicing due to surface discontinuities, ambiguous internal structures, or fragile topology. These issues introduce manual repair steps that erode the efficiency gains promised by AI automation. As a result, users increasingly associate the value of image-to-3D tools with their ability to reduce—not relocate—this burden. Recent advances in this category reflect a growing emphasis on print‑aware reconstruction, with higher mesh density and improved inference of occluded or incomplete regions. While perfect watertightness remains difficult to guarantee from limited visual input, the 2026 goal has shifted toward generating models that behave predictably during scaling, support generation, and material preparation. Benchmarks were established in internal validation tests across common FDM setups to quantify 3D printing performance, using Hitem3D models tested on Bambu Lab X1C and Prusa SL1S. In tested miniature-scale outputs, wall thickness after scaling met common FDM printing requirements and could be adjusted to suit typical resin printing workflows. Hitem3D models are compatible with standard auto-support generation in common slicers such as PrusaSlicer, Cura, and Bambu Studio. Optimized for slicer stability and speed, the models feature file sizes ranging from 15–40 MB. This shift toward print-aware reconstruction directly improves real-world usability for additive manufacturing. Hitem3D's evolution illustrates this shift. By strengthening high-resolution geometry generation and prioritizing structural coherence over purely aesthetic output, the platform positions AI-generated models as viable starting assets for physical production rather than experimental prototypes. This approach aligns with how professional users evaluate tools in practice—by how confidently a model can be prepared for printing without extensive correction. As AI continues to integrate into fabrication pipelines, image-to-3D platforms optimized for 3D printing are becoming less about novelty and more about reliability. The tools gaining traction in 2026 are those that successfully bridge the gap between photographic input and manufacturable form, helping users move from image to object with greater confidence and fewer interruptions. Ready to Test Print-Ready AI Generation?Hitem3D offers free 100 credits on signup, no credit card required. Professional users can access 1000 credits and standard queue priority at initial $9.9/month.→ Start your free trial: hitem3d.ai→ View sample outputs and print success rates: hitem3d.ai/3dprinting/use-case About Hitem3DHitem3D, pioneered by MathMagic (founded 2024), has empowered over a million users across 150 countries since its launch. These solutions are now deeply integrated into the production pipelines of multiple Fortune 500 companies, establishing spatial AI as a new industrial standard. The platform specializes in converting single or multi-view images into production-ready 3D models, with particular strength in 3D printing, industrial design, and game asset creation. Notable users include industry leaders such as Bambu Lab and xTool. Hitem3D secured the #1 spot on the Hugging Face Space Trending list within a week of its model upload and maintained a top 3 position across all model categories for three consecutive weeks.
Introducing Nori, a system-level AI designed for shared coordination across modern families SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Domus Next Inc. today announced the launch of Nori, the world's first AI built specifically for family life. Designed from inception as a shared system rather than a personal assistant, Nori supports the routines, responsibilities, and coordination that shape how families function day to day. In practice, those routines are handled across a variety of disconnected apps — calendars, task lists, messages, shopping notes, and meal planners, which leads to unnecessary complexity, missed handoffs, and constant manual coordination when multiple people and devices are involved. As artificial intelligence expands beyond workplace applications, a new category of consumer AI is emerging to address these challenges. Family coordination requires systems with persistent memory, shared context, and the ability to follow through on multi-step actions across people and devices — capabilities which individual tools and general-purpose assistants were never designed to support. Built as a shared system, Nori maintains family-specific context over time and supports coordination across schedules, tasks, meals, and everyday logistics. "Agentic AI has changed what's possible at home," said Isaac Long, founder of Nori. "For the first time, AI systems can reason across shared context and take coordinated action. That's exactly what family life requires — not another individual assistant, but a system designed to manage routines and responsibilities together." Nori's intelligence is designed specifically for family context, maintaining persistent memory of preferences, dietary restrictions, routines, and scheduling patterns that accumulate over time. This shared understanding allows the system to support complex, real-world coordination, such as organizing schedules, assigning tasks, and planning meals around availability and household preferences. Unlike passive productivity tools that families must manage manually, Nori can create calendar events, assign tasks, and track completion within the shared system, helping reduce the coordination burden that often falls on one person. Core family functions including calendars, tasks, recipes, meal planning, and shopping lists are all unified into a single AI-powered platform, with updates reflected across all family members and devices in real time. Families interact with Nori naturally using text, voice, photos, and forwarded emails. A photo of a permission slip can become a calendar event and simple instructions such as "remember soccer practice every Thursday" are understood and shared across all family members. Nori is available now for iOS, Android, and the web at heynori.com. Core features including shared calendars, tasks, shopping lists, and recipe organization are free, with an optional subscription unlocking advanced AI capabilities such as proactive planning and multi-step coordination. Family Hub hardware integrating Nori's intelligence is planned for June 2026. An Overview of the Nori App interface For more information, view the product overview video here: or visit http://www.heynori.com. ### About Domus Next Inc. Domus Next Inc. is building AI infrastructure for family life. Nori, the company's flagship product, is designed with a system-level architecture for shared coordination, persistent family context, and day-to-day decision-making. Founded in 2025 by veterans from ByteDance and Samsung, the company develops purpose-built AI systems that help families manage schedules, tasks, meals, and daily logistics together.
