Business News

Amazon Web Services (AWS) just dropped some big news: it's launching a marketplace for AI agents on July 15, and it is teaming up with Anthropic, one of the leading AI companies, to do it.

So what is an AI agent? Think of it like a super-smart digital assistant that can handle tasks for you. These agents can write reports, answer customer questions, manage data, and more, without needing step-by-step instructions.

Until now, AI agents have mostly existed inside standalone apps or hidden behind technical tools. AWS wants to change that. This new marketplace will let businesses browse, test, and install AI agents in just a few clicks. It is similar to how you might shop for apps on your phone.

For startups building AI agents, this is a huge opportunity. They will get instant visibility in front of millions of AWS users. For Anthropic, it means more companies will get access to its Claude AI tools, putting it in a stronger position against competitors like OpenAI.

And for AWS, this is a smart business play. It earns a share of every sale and becomes a central hub for companies looking to adopt AI tools more easily.

The bottom line: This makes AI easier to access and use. Businesses no longer need a big tech team to get started. They can simply plug it in and go.

The AI agent race is heating up, and AWS just made a major move to lead the pack.

Business News

Google just made old family photos way more fun You can now turn a single photo into an eight-second video clip. No fancy camera, no editing skills, just a prompt and one image.

This feature is powered by Veo 3, Google’s advanced video generation model, and is now available to users of its Gemini AI Pro ($19.99/month) and Ultra plans ($249.99/month).

You simply upload a photo, describe what kind of animation you want (like a moving background, added sound, or subtle facial movement) and let the AI build the scene.

It is already gaining serious traction. Millions of videos have been created since the feature first appeared in Google's film making tool, Flow. Now that it is rolled out more widely, expect to see a wave of AI-animated content across social media.

Double click: This tool lets businesses move faster, spend less, and create more engaging content. It’s not just a cool feature, it’s a practical advantage.

Make sure to check in on all of your friends in marketing and social media management after this news. They’re not ok.
