80% of product professionals say AI helps them ship faster, but customers aren't seeing value any sooner. Atlassian's _State of Product 2027_ [5] explores the gains AI is delivering and the challenges that remain, from decision-making that hasn't kept pace to gut instinct overriding customer evidence.
Starlink plans to offer hourly, daily, and weekly passes for its satellite internet service. The company is recruiting 'hosts' to sell passes to interested consumers. Pricing details have yet to be released. Starlink will take care of payments, user access, and connectivity while the hosts focus on setting up their sites and earning from connections.
Meta is one of the very few companies that can monetize a personal agent through advertising without ever showing an ad inside the agent itself. The company can keep ads out of the Muse app and still get paid for it on Facebook and Instagram. Every Muse errand can be an incremental signal. Meta can indirectly monetize Muse until enough demand has been aggregated for it to start with direct monetization.
Fervo Energy has started selling electricity from its Cape Station geothermal power plant. It is the first enhanced geothermal company to reach a key commercial milestone. The entire site has the potential to generate as much as 4 gigawatts of electricity. The first block at the site took 23 months to complete - Fervo aims to complete future blocks in as little as 18 months.
NASA's Probe Explorers are a new line of observatories intended to do more science for less money. The project aims to seek a better balance between the smaller Explorer missions and multibillion-dollar flagships. NASA announced on Wednesday it was moving forward with the first of the Explorers, PRIMA (Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics). PRIMA will observe the universe in faint, far-infrared light in a range of wavelengths between 24 and 235 micrometers. NASA intends to launch the telescope in 2033.
David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails, recently announced that 37signals, a company known for its software craft, was done with writing code by hand. The maturation of AI tools has made it possible for the company to embrace a future where coding by hand is almost entirely absent. AI creates new business models and revenue streams and disrupts traditional software. Companies are now investing in innovation and are willing to pay top-of-market for software engineers who can help them build AI products or become AI-native.
Pi Durable is an experimental package built specifically for long-running, durable, and malleable agents that can run anywhere. It can run anywhere, can be reached from different surfaces, supports infinitely long conversations, survives catastrophic internal and external failures, and lets multiple humans steer the same agents. It is a framework for building any agentic application, including coding agents.

Asha Sharma, the 38-year-old chief executive of Microsoft's Xbox division, wants Xbox properties to entertain a billion people. This means opening untapped markets in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia by using cloud computing technology to run games on computers and smartphones. Another pillar of her strategy is to reinvest in Minecraft as a competitor to Roblox. Leaders at the company describe the future of its consoles as embodying that idea.
AI is still too limited to substitute for large amounts of human work. However, organizing agents is no longer the hard part. Agents may be easier to integrate into firms than expected, as long as humans are guiding them in the right direction. This could mean more work for people, not less.
