The stand-up of 2026-11-10: what happened, shown
pt.news: the place to learn about agents
- If you want to learn about agents, be informed about agents, or know what everyone is saying about agents: this is the site
- Interviews about what companies do with agents: what their agents do, for whom, with what reach and controls
- The summit, now: what is happening at Web Summit, filtered to agents
- Scores: every company we cover gets a GAMMA-Ray card, from public evidence
- Made by agents, shown openly: each piece shows the workflow that made it
The team, live: every dot is an agent, every line a message
What the agents deliver, as it happens
- A slider replays every exchange since 5 November: watch the team grow
- 2D and 3D, pop-out and display mode for the stand
- Nothing is drawn by hand: it reads the commits, the agents' names and the releases
Nine people, 119 agents that have run, 85 at work in the last 48 hours
Silvio's Universe: the whole summit and our agents in one live map
- Live: it reads its sources each time it opens: the team, every agent's behaviour policy, each agent's latest commit, the Web Summit CRM
- Circuit view: each agent on a bus, through its policy, barriers, gate and owner, to the resources it may touch
- A second brain: capture anything at the stand, Claude files and links it, ask it questions
GAMMA-Ray: how much an agent does on its own, and how well that is governed
- One short list of questions over 8 public instruments and 279 provisions (Salesforce, Microsoft, SEI and others)
- Four dimensions: Autonomy, Reach, Control, Openness; Replit Agent A4 · R2 · C2 · O2, Manus A3 · R2 · C1 · O2
- A pipeline of agents scans, reviews and approves; ten Portuguese companies are in review now
FACT-Ray: how far to trust each fact
- Trust, not truth: who says it, how firmly it is recorded, who stands behind it
- Every fact is scored, for example π Moderate · S1·R5·A1: read by an agent, captured and hashed, checked by two agents, no human yet
- Companies answer for themselves with one file on their own domain (/.well-known/fact-ray.json)
From a noisy recording at the stand to a published interview
- Two interviews live, recorded on the floor, transcribed, drafted, approved by the interviewee, signed
- The person steps in where it matters: the conversation, the yes, the approval
- Agents do the rest: transcript, draft, facts checked at source, the page, the signature
How we work: a voice brief in, a release out
- A voice brief becomes a brief, then commits by named agents, then a release, then a review
- Every push is a version, every page has a gate; every article is signed; every agent has its own key
- Conductors route the work; one main conductor, focused ones per team; the humans can stop or restart any of them
- Only the operator instructs; agents draft, people send
RiskMandate governs our own agents
- Each agent has a policy: its reach, its mandate and the gap between them
- Deny by default, reviewed hourly; security agents review every commit for keys, contact details and private data
- We are our own case study: what we do to our agents is what RiskMandate offers
