The widespread availability of open-source repositories has led to a vast collection of reusable software components, yet their utilization remains manual, error-prone, and disconnected. Developers must navigate documentation, understand APIs, and write integration code, creating significant barriers to efficient software reuse. To address this, we present EnvX, a framework that leverages Agentic AI to agentize GitHub repositories, transforming them into intelligent, autonomous agents capable of natural language interaction and inter-agent collaboration. Unlike existing approaches that treat repositories as static code resources, EnvX reimagines them as active agents through a three-phase process: (1) TODO-guided environment initialization, which sets up the necessary…

Can generative AI animate a decent movie? That question’s getting an early test. OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI’s Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, will have a budget of less than $30 million. Producers hope to make the movie in about nine months, in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to The Wall Street Journal. The original short film, also called Critterz, was a play on the nature documentary genre, with the strange creatures in the forest suddenly…

As AI is increasingly helping hackers to launch mass-scale email attacks, former Google security leaders have joined forces to build autonomous AI agents that aim to stop phishing, malware, and business email compromise threats before they ever reach user inboxes. That is the mission behind AegisAI, a new email security startup that has just emerged from stealth with $13 million in seed funding co-led by Accel and Foundation Capital. More than 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, per U.S. federal cybersecurity agency CISA. A recent CrowdStrike study (PDF) also found that phishing messages generated by large language…
