The Personal Agent Protocol: your agent gets a front door. We build what is behind it
We ship personal agents for a living — Haico plans your night and moves no money without your approval — so we read last week’s news with professional interest: on 6 October, Sierra and Meta announced the Personal Agent Protocol (PAP), an open, OAuth-based standard for how a personal AI agent signs in with a business, declares its intent and gets scoped permissions, with Shopify, Stripe and Walmart among the launch partners. Here is what the protocol actually standardises, what a handshake cannot fix — and why the gates on the owner’s side still decide whether any of it is trustworthy.

Haico: one sentence, one approval — and the rest happens in real life
Haico is our AI for real-world experiences, live in Istanbul: tell it the night you want — “four of us, house, not too crowded” — and it builds the plan, shows what it understood, and buys nothing until you approve. At the door it opens Live Mode; afterwards the night lands in your Experience Passport, measured in verified check-ins rather than clicks. In 2026, agents that can buy things are everywhere. One that treats the purchase as the least important part of the night is not.

Diloop: the best language tutor was always conversation. It just didn’t scale
Diloop is our speech-first language learning product, in open beta at diloop.app: say your own sentence in a real scenario, confirm the transcript, hear the reply, and see the correction explained in your own language — nine languages, interface and learning language independent. The industry spent recent memory arguing over who writes the exercises; we think the real revolution is that conversation — the one tutor that always worked and never scaled — now scales.

Kimene: your AI workforce got real machines. Now it needs a control plane
Kimene is our AI workforce control plane, self-hosted on your machines: pooled accounts, models and hosts matched only at run time, immutable route decisions with every elimination reasoned, real CLI execution in tmux sessions that survive disconnects, and completion that requires evidence. In 2026 running a fleet of terminal agents is normal; knowing which account ran what, on which host, why that route and who says it is done — that is still rare. Kimene is that layer.

VidiVidi: a table you sit down at, not a feed you fall into
VidiVidi is our shared broadcast network, in beta at vidividi.app: one broadcast on one clock — four fixed daily shows plus DÖNÜM — a persistent synthetic cast labelled synthetic on every screen, members’ questions on the table, time-coded transcripts. In 2026 the personal AI podcast is a genre and every listener can have a show of their own; VidiVidi is the deliberate opposite bet: that news also needs a common object, a shared clock and an honest label.

Harbi: news rebuilt around the event, for readers who are done with the feed
Harbi is our AI-native news product, live in open beta at harbi.me: the unit is the event, not the article — one permanent, versioned page per development, every factual sentence bound to its sources, independent roots counted instead of echoes, and a day that ends. In 2026 the feed that drove four in ten readers to avoid news altogether is drowning in synthetic sites; our answer is news that shows its evidence and says “we don’t know yet” out loud.

The attacker is an agent now — and your API key is the loot
Anthropic’s 10 September threat report reads like a field manual for the new tempo: agents that rewrite their own malware when flagged, 1.8 million apps decompiled for hardcoded secrets, credentials to admin in three hours, and AI companies raided for API keys and pre-release models. The same week brought the mirror image: an agent that invented a package, laced it, and shipped it to PyPI — no attacker required. When sophistication stops being the moat, the path becomes the moat.

The assistant grew an ad business — and the EU called it what it is: a search engine
On 31 August, hours apart: OpenAI’s ad business crossed a $1 billion run rate in about 200 days — AdWords needed four years — and Brussels designated ChatGPT a Very Large Online Search Engine, 159.1 million EU users past the threshold. Apple, meanwhile, rents Siri’s brain from Google for about $1 billion a year. The middle of everyone’s questions now has interests of its own. At work, the answer is a middle you can meter: one gateway, models you can own, every token visible.

Sosyabot: social AI for a feed that now charges for sameness
In four days at the end of July, LinkedIn shipped an “AI slop” report button and retired its own writing assistant, Snapchat pulled fully AI-generated videos from Spotlight recommendations, and Article 50 made disclosure law. The feed stopped labelling the flood and started pricing it — and the volume play inverted. Sosyabot is the studio built for the other strategy: one brief into native, brand-locked, human-approved posts across 14+ networks.

Talky: communications you own, for the year governments stopped renting theirs
On 18 August Beijing ordered a customised Windows 10 off state machines, months ahead of schedule. France had already named its date — 2.5 million civil servants off Teams and Zoom by 2027 — and Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein and the Netherlands each took their own step this year. The assumption that everyone’s workday runs on the same rented stack is ending, and communications go first. Talky is the workspace built for that decision: meet, message and create inside your own perimeter.

Pickerman: media intelligence for a flood that is aimed at the checkers
On 12 August, Germany’s BfV publicly named the Matryoshka network flooding four September elections with fake broadcaster clips — the same day a deepfake report counted 15,736 victims in six months, half of video fakes built to wreck reputations. Operation Overload’s real target is the verifier’s time. Pickerman is our media-intelligence radar built to invert that price: rank by independent agreement, check claimed sources against real ones, keep a human in command.

Your tool stack is your attack surface — July proved it, one package at a time
In four weeks the work toolchain was hit through a poisoned npm package hunting AI-assistant configs, a PNG that walked past AI code reviewers, a release pipeline that shipped malware with valid provenance, and a worm that swallowed 440 packages in an hour. Third-party breaches just doubled to 48%. Shrinking the stack is no longer tidiness — it is security posture.

Verinova, Blab, Solab, Spook, VeriRAG: the five model families under everything we ship
Everyone spent the summer arguing about how to label what models make. The quieter question decides more: whose model is it? Meet the five families we train in-house — Verinova for language, Blab and Solab for the two directions of speech, Spook for vision, VeriRAG for retrieval — and why owning them changes what a product can promise.

The AI-voice disclosure era started on a Sunday
On 2 August 2026 the EU AI Act’s Article 50 became applicable: voice agents must say they are AI, synthetic audio must carry a machine-readable mark, deepfakes must be labelled. The vendors raced the deadline and the watermarks have honest limits — but the question the law still doesn’t answer is consent. That one, Blab answered on day one.

Solab: AI meeting notes where every claim shows its moment
The AI notetaker became the meeting’s default attendee — and spent July 2026 being retrofitted with consent switches while courts weigh whether the bots wiretap. Solab starts from the other end: a record you make on purpose, notes where every claim links to the moment it was said — and unknown stays unknown.

When “AI-made” goes on the label: keeping social on-brand in the disclosure era
This week the disclosure rails snapped into place: Google began showing people whether an ad was AI-made, and Meta yanked an AI feature off Instagram a day after shipping it. The lesson is not “stop using AI” — it is that consumers punish two things, undisclosed AI and off-brand AI. The fix is determinism: lock the brand, then constrain every generated post to it.

Chat Control, the encryption line, and where your organisation’s plaintext actually lives
On 9 July more MEPs voted to kill Chat Control 1.0 than to keep it — and it survived on a threshold. It is not law, and it never mandated scanning. What the vote did settle is that Europe’s legal line now runs through one architectural question: on whose server does a readable copy of your message come to rest?

Media intelligence in the synthetic era: why OSINT has to corroborate, not just collect
Deepfakes and AI-generated posts are flooding the open web that media intelligence reads. Provenance standards like C2PA certify history, not truth — so the job shifts from collecting sources to corroborating them across independent feeds.

Voice agents in 2026: why the cascade still beats speech-to-speech for grounded, compliant calls
xAI shipped a no-code voice-agent builder on a speech-to-speech path this month. It is faster and more natural — but for grounded, disclosable, regulated calls the cascade’s readable text seam still wins. Here is the trade-off, honestly.

Your AI agents are identities now — and most of them are ungoverned
AI agents don’t log in — they act with credentials. Non-human identity is the security story of mid-2026, and the gateway is the one place you can actually issue, scope and revoke it.

The agent gateway: one control plane for every model and tool
In 2026 AI agents stopped just answering and started acting — calling tools over MCP. This month Databricks and others converged on the same answer: a single gateway in front of every model and tool. Here is why, and where Qevron already fits.
