An AI agent that can't open a browser is just guessing. Stefan from Checkly shows how giving AI coding agents a real browser via Playwright enables reliable end-to-end test generation and debugging, closing the quality gap created by faster, AI-driven shipping. The session compares Playwright MCP vs the Playwright CLI for agent workflows, showing that thanks to MCP spec changes, lazy tool loading, and skills, the two are now effectively just different interfaces to the same tool, with no real token advantage either way.

The World Cup is down to the final two, and so is Cortex's Coming Home Dashboard.

AI-powered ransomware is becoming a reality. Researchers recently demonstrated autonomous AI agents that can scout networks, steal credentials, and accelerate ransomware attacks. In this 60-second Zero Ticket Minute, learn what this means for cybersecurity, IT operations, and the future of agentic AI. Can AI also help stop these attacks? Watch to find out.

Microsoft patched 570 security vulnerabilities this Patch Tuesday — but every patch is also a public disclosure. The second those fixes drop, attackers know exactly where 570 weaknesses live. The only question that matters: can you find and patch them across your entire environment before someone exploits them? The speed of discovery is only increasing. Are you ready for the velocity of this new world? Let us know in the comments.
