Cloudflare's Kitesurf is a cloud-hosted browser optimized for agents, stripping away human-facing browser overhead while reducing CPU, memory, and token costs. It runs on Workers and lets agents navigate sites, fill forms, and perform browser-based tasks programmatically.
External dependencies do not invalidate vertical slices. The key is to distinguish slices, modules, and bounded contexts rather than treating every feature as an autonomous context. In a transport-order workflow, task-specific slices use handlers with explicit dependencies, allowing them to call external systems or access shared data without collapsing back into generic status updates.
OpenAI is introducing $125/month Premium seats with 5x the usage of standard ChatGPT Business seats and no five-hour usage limit. Companies can mix seat types and centrally manage usage, billing, and spend.
Conventional shadow-IT tools cannot detect much MCP sprawl because many MCP servers run locally over stdio rather than crossing a monitored network boundary.
Brex describes an approach to securely deploying powerful agents by monitoring and restricting their network behavior rather than trying to anticipate every action in application code.
