Got questions about hiring globally?
The best person for your next role might not live near your office — or even in the same country.
And more companies are realizing they don’t need to open entities everywhere just to hire great talent globally.
Instead, teams are using EOR to hire internationally faster, stay compliant, and avoid the operational headache of setting up local infrastructure before they’re ready.
That shift is changing how companies think about growth, hiring, and expansion altogether.
Oyster’s EOR helps companies hire, pay, and support employees in 180+ countries while Oyster handles payroll, compliance, taxes, and local employment requirements.
Good morning ☀️, leader of the next generation.
We will talk about agents. AI agents.
They will change the way how we do business, how we interract and even how we do our everyday lives.
Agents will build business.
Agents will organize your day.
Agents will fill up your fridge.
I will let that sit in here for a while, so we can imagine and build the future together one agent at a time...

Google brings AI-powered voice prompting to Docs, Keep, and Gmail.
Google adds voice-based prompting to Docs and Keep
At this year's Google I/O developer conference, Google announced a new wave of voice-based prompting features coming to several of its Workspace apps, including Docs, Keep, and Gmail. The goal is to make it faster and easier for users to create content, capture ideas, and find information — all without typing a single word.
In Google Docs, the new feature allows users to build an entire draft document using only their voice. During a live demo, Google showed how a user could pull résumé details from Drive, layer in event logistics pulled from an email, and even sprinkle in some humor — all through a single spoken request. What previously required multiple rounds of typing and follow-up prompts can now be handled in one fluid voice command.
A key advantage of voice input is the ability to speak in longer, more natural sentences. Rather than typing short fragments and waiting for responses in a back-and-forth exchange, users can describe complex, multi-step requests all at once. The system is also smart enough to handle mid-thought changes — if you decide partway through a sentence that you want something different, the AI picks up on that and adjusts the output accordingly.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that the company's longer-term vision goes even further, with plans to let users not only create but also fully edit documents through voice commands in the future.
Google Keep is also getting a voice upgrade. Users will soon be able to speak their thoughts freely into the app, and AI will automatically convert the transcription into a neatly structured note or checklist. This kind of feature isn't entirely new — apps like Voicenotes and AudioPen introduced similar functionality a few years back, and more recent dictation tools such as Wispr Flow, Monologue, and Aqua have built voice-to-text capabilities into their core products. Earlier this month, Google also launched its own dictation tool called Rambler, integrated directly into Gboard and usable across apps.
On the Gmail side, Google is introducing a conversational voice interface powered by Gemini. Users will be able to ask questions like "When is my next flight?" or "What's the check-in code for my Airbnb?" or "What time is my doctor's appointment?" — and get quick, relevant answers pulled directly from their inbox.
The broader context here is that AI is being embedded into virtually every product across the tech industry, and user behavior is shifting along with it. People are increasingly comfortable asking longer, more detailed questions — whether they're typing or speaking. Voice, in particular, is a natural fit for complex, multi-part requests that would feel cumbersome to type out.
Today's AI models are well-equipped to handle this kind of nuanced input, including catching when a user changes direction mid-sentence and delivering a response that reflects the final intent. Google is clearly taking note of these trends and doubling down on voice as a primary input method across its ecosystem of apps.
Claude is not just a chatbot anymore. Is your security team ready?
Claude.ai is one thing. Claude Cowork with MCP connections, running agentic workflows, taking actions across your data with ungoverned skills? That is a different conversation entirely, and most security teams are not equipped to govern it.
Harmonic Security is built to secure everything Claude offers. Full browser controls for Claude.ai, deep governance over agentic MCP workflows, and real-time visibility into what Claude is doing across your organization. So your CISO can say yes to the tools your business is already demanding.
Karpathy brings elite LLM expertise to Anthropic's core model training division.
OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy joins Anthropic's pre-training team
AI researcher Andrej Karpathy, known for co-founding OpenAI and leading Tesla's self-driving program, has joined Anthropic. He will work on pre-training — the compute-intensive phase that gives Claude its core knowledge — and will lead a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pre-training research itself.
Karpathy's move signals Anthropic's belief that AI-assisted research is key to staying competitive. He also expressed continued passion for education, hinting at future work there. Separately, cybersecurity veteran Chris Rohlf has joined Anthropic's frontier red team to stress-test advanced AI models against serious threats.

⚡ Trends for the Future
From teen hacker to Iron Dome researcher, this founder raised $28M to fight AI phishing
Former teen hacker turns cybersecurity founder, raising $28M to stop AI-powered phishing.
Shay Shwartz has had an unconventional path to founding a cybersecurity startup. As a teenager, he made money through hacking — until he got caught at 16 and decided to redirect his skills toward defense rather than offense. That pivot led to nearly a decade of high-level cybersecurity work for Israel's elite defense and intelligence units, including projects tied to the Iron Dome, and eventually a role at Axis, a startup later acquired by HPE.
Two years ago, Shwartz finally launched his own company. That startup, Ocean, is an agentic email security platform designed specifically to combat AI-powered phishing attacks. It has just emerged from stealth mode with $28 million in total funding, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Picture Capital and Cerca Partners. Notable angel investors include Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport and Armis co-founders Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, whose company recently sold to ServiceNow for $7.75 billion.
While established players like Proofpoint and Mimecast, and newer entrants like Abnormal Security, address standard phishing threats, Shwartz believes AI has fundamentally changed the threat landscape and demands a new kind of defense. Spear-phishing attacks once required enormous time and manual effort, limiting them to only the most sophisticated hackers. Now, AI automates that entire process, enabling highly targeted attacks at massive scale.
"I can instruct an LLM to go and understand exactly who you are, harvest a large amount of public information, and create those phishing attacks very targeted against you," Shwartz told TechCrunch.
Ocean's response is a small language model built specifically to analyze incoming emails at speed, assess sender intent, and evaluate each message against an organization's unique context. The startup is already processing billions of emails per month for customers including Kayak, Kingston Technology, and Headspace. Shwartz describes the approach as placing a guard at every door — making the inbox a consistently safe and high-hygiene environment.
