How is AI really affecting your job?
@Cohere_Labs released the Agentic Task Ecosystem, a new dataset of 690K+ tools built for AI agents. Under a test of whether a tool could independently complete an occupational task, just 2.6% passed.

Credibility is built by owning a number, reporting on it weekly, and moving quickly to fix gaps that will keep surfacing as the market changes. That's part of your job as a marketing leader.
What does "owning it" actually mean? You aren't waiting for finance to hand you the pipeline model... you build the model with them. And you include the headcount/capacity model finance worked with sales on.
THIS CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN A SILO.
And then you report on it. Here's how it looks at Docebo: Every pipeline owner updates a shared Slack canvas answering the following prompts:
>> What's on track or off track?
>> What's broken and what we're doing about it?
>> What should change in the next week or two?
>> Updated forecast of where we think we are going to end the quarter

Last October we created DIISCO at the @easya_app London Hacakathon. Since then we’ve shared DIIISCO in Parliament and with the AI Minister @KanishkaNarayan.
Now EasyA is doing a hackathon IN Parliament, so you can live our year in one afternoon. It’s insane.
See you there 🇬🇧
EasyA is bringing you one of the most important hackathons in history.
We’re headed to the UK Parliament! 🇬🇧
And we’re giving top founders the chance to pitch their projects to the world’s most influential policymakers.
Spots are very, very limited.
Apply now 👇

Last month we had the chance to meet @KanishkaNarayan, MP for AI, and hear about his vision for Sovereign AI. We know decentralised AI will play a big part of this and we’re committed to making DIIISCO an active player in communities across the UK.

We just released our PQ roadmap, targeting broad quantum resilience by 2027. This is a very aggressive roadmap, with first deliverables happening next quarter.
Beyond deliverables, we also outlined our philosophy around crypto agility.

If market structure bill passes the senate. (High probability). It will make validators on certain public blockchains akin to btc miners. And their native tokens suit to be considered commodities.
Then it would make most sense to shift and become a validator in the best mcap/tech networks. (Hence recent small btc miners shift into eth treasuries/validators)
Through this optic, Algorand is by far the best asymmetrically positioned asset.
That’s just the beginning of a new 🐇 🕳️
Come become a validator with us and earn Algo + the mighty ORA.

I got a cease and desist from DocuSign for my free SaaS.
A couple of months ago, I saw a tweet from @awilkinson: “I just found out how much we pay for DocuSign and my jaw dropped. What's the best alternative?”
Me being naive, I thought “how hard could would it actually be to build a DocuSign alternative?”
Turns out not that hard.
In about a weekend, I built a UETA and ESIGN compliant tool. And it was free. And it cost me less than $50.
So I thought I’d share it out for free. Tweeted (Xeeted?) a link out. Went viral. At the time, I was charging $0 for it. Completely free. Had a over a thousand users sign up on the first day. All is great right?
Until DocuSign sent me an email. That I’m “in violation of Docusign’s intellectual property”. For “disseminating false and misleading statements regarding Docusign”.
What?
I never stole anything from DocuSign or made misleading statements about DocuSign.
They basically got scared that I created a free e-sign tool.
So what did I do with my free side project with a legal budget of $0?
Continued building of course. Shipped new features. Made the free product even better. It’s crazy how I now have thousands of users on Inkless who love the product.
DocuSign - maybe next time it’s better to listen to your customers rather than sending cease and desists?

Algorand already supports all the features required in the GENIUS act -freeze, clawback, default-frozen, reserve addresses- without the need for smart contracts. Combine this with instant finality, ultra-low fees, and carbon neutrality, and there is no better chain than Algorand for institutions to launch stablecoins on.
1/7 🚨 The Senate just passed the GENIUS Act (68–30) — the first federal framework for stablecoins in the U.S. 🇺🇸 #GENIUSAct

Big milestone for Real World Assets on Algorand!
@MidasRWA has launched mTBILL — a fully regulated, tokenized certificate tied to short-term U.S. Treasury ETFs — now live on Algorand, marking its first non-EVM deployment.
Why it matters:
- Fractional access to top ETF assets like @BlackRock’s IB01 & BUIDL
- No $5M minimum like BUIDL — open to all investors
- Near-zero fees & 2-second atomic swaps with 24/7 access
- Built on Algorand = Instant finality + low cost + full DeFi composability
💸 4.06% yield (7-day trailing, net of fees)
🔁 First $2M USDC swap finalized on-chain for just $0.0004
Permissionless. Regulated. Institutional-grade yield for everyday users.
This is how RWA goes mainstream.
