10 strategies OpenAI uses to create powerful AI agents - that you should use too

zdnet.com David Gewirtz 2025-10-02 19:01:19

Just_Super/Getty Images AI integration is moving at an astonishing pace. Just a few months ago, we were coming to terms with the idea of AI agents, or what the buzzword mavens call "agentic AI." Now, we're starting to look at issues of practical deployment. If you're not fully up to speed on agents, that's okay. Few people are. OpenAI defines agents as "Systems that independently accomplish tasks on your behalf," with an emphasis on "independently." ZDNET has a full guide on the topic, which i

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET You may have noticed an odd little button that sometimes appears in your Chrome browser bar labeled "Google Lens." It's actually been there for a number of years now, although it doesn't always show up. But have you ever used it? Have you even given it a second thought? Or has it just become one more piece of digital clutter your brain edits out? We've covered Google Lens before on ZDNET. We've done so a number of times, in fact. But we've always covered it as a fe

This overlooked phone accessory gave me a greater sense of security - and it's not a case

My tether tag set up on my iPhone. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET You might have heard of tether tags. These little tags offer a way to prevent phone snatching theft, a crime that's on the increase. The idea is you fit the little T-shaped plastic or fabric tag between the smartphone and the case it's in, clip a wrist lanyard to it, and bingo, no more theft. I first saw these on social media -- I remember there being quite a bit of hype about them -- and then I later bought one from a UK company

Planting flags in AI coding territory

Answering this often triggers more questions that shouldn't surprise anyone. Do you have some workable requirements? Have you created meaningful tests aligned with those? Can you understand and fix your code when those tests fail? Are you seeing opportunities to delete code in a way that enhances its value by reducing its liability? In all of these questions, code is ingrained with purpose, hampered by ambiguity, and therefore very much human, even when it lies forgotten in some machine wher

Open source can't coordinate?

Open Source Can’t Coordinate I was taking a shower this morning, and was pondering yesterday’s problem, where I suspect that I have an outdated version of hotspot Linux profiler, but I can’t just go and download a fresh release from GitHub, because hotspot is a KDE app, and I use NixOS. And NixOS isn’t a problem — it’s a solution. Linux on desktop is a rickety tower of competing libraries, protocols and standards, which is always in an Escheresque sort of perpetual motion, taking off but simul

Rise in 'alert fatigue' risks phone users disabling news notifications

news.ycombinator.com Michael Savage 2025-10-02 19:02:07

It has become a feature of modern life – millions of phones simultaneously buzz or sound the alarm as users are notified of breaking news deemed too important to miss. Now evidence is mounting that the prevalence of news alerts is giving rise to “alert fatigue”, with some mobile phone users peppered with as many as 50 notifications a day. The rise of news aggregators such as Apple News and Google on mobile devices means some users can receive more than one alert about the same story. Analysis

Yet since the policy was actually implemented, she has changed her mind.
