Box launches AI-powered Automate service

/in /tarafından

Box is launching Box Automate, a new AI-driven workflow service designed to help businesses handle repetitive processes such as invoice management, document extraction and large-scale data processing more efficiently.

CEO Aaron Levie said the platform allows companies to deploy AI agents into operational workflows, automating tasks like extracting key invoice data, processing corporate documents and preparing decisions for human review.

Box Automate will be included across most enterprise plans, while more advanced automation tools may encourage upgrades to higher-tier offerings. The launch reflects Box’s broader strategy to evolve from cloud storage into AI-enabled enterprise infrastructure.

Levie emphasized that while AI can dramatically improve productivity, businesses still require human oversight for critical systems due to operational and security risks.

Hyundai Plans to Deploy Humanoid Robots at U.S. Factory Starting in 2028

/in /tarafından

Hyundai Motor Group said it plans to begin deploying humanoid robots at its U.S. manufacturing plant in Georgia from 2028, marking a major step toward automating higher-risk and repetitive factory tasks.

The company unveiled the production version of the Atlas humanoid robot — developed by its subsidiary Boston Dynamics — at the Consumer Electronics Show. Hyundai did not disclose costs or volumes but said it ultimately aims to roll out the robots across all its manufacturing sites as part of its push into “physical AI.”

Atlas robots will initially handle parts sequencing from 2028, with duties expanding gradually as safety and quality benefits are validated. By 2030, Hyundai expects the robots to move into component assembly and, over the longer term, take on heavy-load, repetitive and complex tasks.

Hyundai said the robots are designed to reduce physical strain on workers and improve safety. Atlas can lift up to 50 kilograms, operate autonomously and function in industrial environments ranging from minus 20 to 40 degrees Celsius.

The company added that it is accelerating development through partnerships with AI leaders such as Nvidia and Google, as humanoid robots are expected to become a key segment of the emerging physical AI market.

Legal AI Pioneer Clio Hits $5 Billion Valuation After $500 Million Funding Round

/in /tarafından

Clio, a Canadian legal artificial intelligence firm, announced on Monday that it has raised $500 million in fresh funding led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), boosting its valuation to $5 billion.

The Vancouver-based company, founded in 2008 by Jack Newton and Rian Gauvreau, develops AI-powered tools that help law firms and legal departments manage cases, automate workflows, conduct research, and streamline operations. Clio’s platform is currently used by legal professionals in over 130 countries.

The funding round also saw participation from existing backers TCV, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Sixth Street Growth, and JMI Equity, highlighting continued investor confidence in the booming market for AI productivity tools.

In addition to the equity raise, Clio secured a $350 million debt facility led by Blackstone and Blue Owl Capital, which will help fund AI product development and future strategic acquisitions.

The new valuation marks a significant leap from last year’s $3 billion figure, underscoring the surging demand for AI solutions in professional services, as firms increasingly turn to automation to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Venture capital interest in legal tech and generative AI has soared this year, as companies across industries race to integrate intelligent systems capable of handling administrative, analytical, and compliance tasks once performed by human professionals.
