Docsy for AI Agents, Oh, and People Too

Google’s Docsy is joining the Linux Foundation as AI agents become documentation readers.

The DevOps Standard Gives Teams a Shared Model for Software Delivery

A release can pass every pipeline check and still leave an organization uncertain about whether to proceed. Security evidence may exist in another system, the recovery plan may be incomplete, and nobody may own the final decision.

IBM Moves Its Bob Coding Agent Inside the Firewall

Plenty of enterprises want AI coding agents. Fewer are willing to send their source code to someone else’s cloud to get them. That tension has slowed adoption at banks, insurers, government agencies and other organizations that build software under strict rules about where code and data can live. IBM is betting a self-hosted option will […]
