AI agents can now act directly on WordPress.com sites

March 20, 2026 /

WordPress.com, Automattic’s hosted website platform built on the open source WordPress software, announced the launch of new write capabilities for its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The update enables AI agents — including Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor — to create, edit, and manage content on WordPress.com sites directly through natural conversation, on behalf of users.

With today’s addition of write capabilities, WordPress.com has extended the agentic web. AI agents can now actively build and manage websites. Where the original MCP server let AI agents read, the new write and content authoring capabilities let them act: drafting posts, editing pages, and managing content on behalf of users, all with explicit user confirmation at every step.

The feature was designed with safeguards to ensure users remain in control. Updates require explicit user confirmation before any action is taken, and changes to already-published content are clearly flagged as going live immediately. The MCP server is opt-in only, with nothing enabled by default.

The MCP write capabilities are available now. The feature is compatible with any MCP-enabled AI agent WordPress.com plans. The MCP server is available to all paid WordPress.com plan users at no additional cost.

Aprimo unveils Agentic DAM

March 17, 2026 /

Aprimo, a provider of digital asset management and content operations solutions, today announced the launch of Aprimo’s Agentic DAM, the next evolution of its digital asset management designed for enterprises, where AI agents increasingly discover, interpret, and act on content.

Aprimo’s Agentic DAM enables AI agents to become first-class content consumers. These agents create, review, govern, and personalize content, while maintaining human oversight and continuous compliance. 

Aprimo’s agents operate persistently across the entire content operations process, from planning, creation, and enrichment to review, transformation, and distribution. Governance is applied continuously, not only at ingestion but at runtime across upstream creative tools and downstream marketing systems.

Aprimo organizes its Agentic DAM into specialized AI agent categories, including Planning Agents, Librarian Agents, Critic Agents, Compliance Agents, and Production Agents. Together, these agents automate repeatable tasks, enrich metadata, validate claims, generate variants, and personalize content dynamically.

Aprimo’s Agentic DAM not only governs content within the DAM repository but extends intelligence across the broader marketing and creative stack. Agents can operate upstream in creative tools to review work in progress and downstream in CMS and campaign systems to validate assets at the point of deployment.

Adobe and NVIDIA announce strategic partnership

March 16, 2026 /

Adobe and NVIDIA today announced a strategic partnership that will bring together Adobe’s creative and marketing workflows, models and technology and NVIDIA’s open models, libraries, research and accelerated computing to deliver the next generation of foundational Adobe Firefly models and creative, marketing and agentic workflows.

Firefly models will be built on NVIDIA’s computing technology and tap into NVIDIA CUDA-X, NVIDIA NeMo libraries, NVIDIA Cosmos open models, and NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software to enable interactive, high-quality creation.

Adobe and NVIDIA will also work together on NVIDIA NemoClaw— an open source stack that simplifies running OpenClaw always-on assistants more safely.

With NVIDIA, Adobe is launching a cloud-native, brand identity-preserving 3D digital twin solution (public beta). The solution creates virtual replicas of physical products that act as permanent digital identities for marketing and commerce experiences. Integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into Adobe technologies, the collaboration expands support for 3D digital twin workflows built on OpenUSD for marketing content automation.

Adobe will also harness NVIDIA AI infrastructure, AI libraries, services and models to optimize its AI-powered tools across creativity, productivity and customer experience orchestration.

Databricks launches Genie Code

March 11, 2026 /

Databricks launched Genie Code, an autonomous AI agent that changes how data work gets done. Genie Code can carry out complex tasks such as building pipelines, debugging failures, shipping dashboards, and maintaining production systems. Just as agentic coding tools have transformed software engineering, moving developers from autocomplete-style assistance to agent-driven development, Genie Code brings the same paradigm shift to data engineering, data science, and analytics.

Genie Code is a new addition to Genie, which lets any knowledge worker chat with their data and get trusted answers instantly using the context and semantics captured by Unity Catalog. Genie Code extends this approach to data professionals, handling the complex engineering required to go from idea to production across all enterprise data.

Genie Code helps teams bridge the context gap to ensure the high levels of accuracy and governance required for production environments:

  • Handles full ML workflows end-to-end.
  • Accounts for differences between staging versus production environments, builds workflows for change data capture and applies data quality expectations.
  • Monitors Lakeflow pipelines and AI models to triage failures and investigate anomalies.
  • Integrated with Unity Catalog, enforces governance policies and access controls. It understands business semantics and audit requirements and federates enterprise data, including data from external platforms.

AODocs launches External Portals to securely streamline document collaboration

March 4, 2026 /

AODocs, an enterprise document management platform, announced the launch of AODocs External Portals, to enable organizations to collaborate with external parties while maintainin document control and audit-ready traceability.

With External Portals, organizations can share documents, request files, and track progress in one unified space—eliminating reliance on out-of-control shadow IT, ad hoc email threads, consumer file-sharing links, or disconnected third-party tools.

The new capability is designed to simplify external collaboration while remaining fully integrated with AODocs’ document control platform, preserving the rigorous governance, security, and compliance enterprises require from their DMS (Document Management System).

As organizations increasingly work with vendors, customers, auditors, and other third parties, document exchange has become a point of risk. Files are duplicated across inboxes and unmanaged drives, processes sprawl across multiple unapproved tools, and audit trails break.

AODocs External Portals reduce these “shadow IT” risks by keeping all external exchanges within a single, unified platform—where external collaboration and document control processes live together in a governed, traceable, and policy-consistent environment.

External Portals are designed for high-stakes, document-heavy processes —from vendor onboarding and loan processing to HR workflows and case management— allowing organizations to simplify external collaboration while preserving security, compliance, and traceability.

Flux voice AI platform now supports on-the-fly configurations

March 3, 2026 /

Deepgram announced Flux “on-the-fly configuration” for its voice AI platform, which lets developers dynamically update speech recognition settings — such as keyterms and end-of-turn detection — during a live voice conversation without disconnecting or restarting the audio stream.

A support call moves from identity verification to troubleshooting to scheduling a follow-up. A healthcare call shifts from intake questions to medication names to billing. Each phase has different intents, different critical phrases.

Today, teams configure their ASR (automatic speech recognition) once at connection time and live with it for the entire call. They load every keyterm they might need upfront, diluting biasing effectiveness across the board, or they keep the list minimal and accept lower accuracy on critical phrases. When the conversation shifts enough that the configuration truly doesn’t fit, the options are disconnecting and reconnecting mid-call or managing multiple concurrent streams and swapping between them.

Now your ASR configuration can shift with the conversation. No more choosing between loading every keyterm upfront or accepting lower accuracy. No more static configuration that’s “good enough” for the whole call. One connection that adapts as the call unfolds.

On-the-fly configuration is available now in the Flux v2 WebSocket API.

Research Solutions launches Scite MCP, connecting ChatGPT, Claude, & other AI tools to scientific literature

February 26, 2026 /

Research Solutions, provider of AI-powered scientific research tools, launched Scite MCP, which enables researchers and developers to search scientific literature and evaluate the trustworthiness of research findings without leaving the AI tools they already use.

Large language models can generate text on most topics, but coverage of scholarly material is limited, and they struggle to distinguish well-supported findings from contested ones.

Scite MCP solves this by giving AI tools direct access to over 250 million indexed articles, book chapters, preprints, and datasets, along with Scite’s proprietary Smart Citations, which classify each citation as supporting, mentioning, or contrasting findings it references.

  • Answers grounded in trustworthy research: AI tools connected to Scite can return responses backed by specific, verifiable papers rather than generating unsourced claims
  • Citation context: Users and AI agents can see not only that a paper was cited, but also whether subsequent research supported, mentioned, or contrasted its findings
  • Broad literature coverage: Access to over 250 million scientific articles, book chapters, preprints, and datasets
  • Works across tools: Compatible with ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-enabled application

Scite MCP currently provides access to Open Access articles, with publisher discussions underway to expand coverage to paywalled content.
