The wildest AI stories this week (and a tool you’ll love)

Hey Friend,

Ever felt like your AI tools are almost there… but not quite taking the leap to actually help without being nudged?

That just changed.

This week, something big happened: we entered the “agentic era” — where AI doesn’t just answer… it acts.

From India’s bold new assistant that thinks for itself, to Microsoft quietly prepping a Pentagon-level Copilot, to Meta handing out Hollywood tools for free… AI has officially leveled up.

Let me break it down for you.

What’s Blowing Up in AI Right Now🔥

1. Meet Kruti — The AI Assistant That Thinks and Acts

On June 12, Krutrim (founded by Bhavish Aggarwal, the guy behind Ola) dropped Kruti — a new AI assistant that doesn’t just wait for your commands. It acts on your behalf.
Think of it as ChatGPT if it woke up, made coffee, and booked your next meeting—without being asked.

2. Microsoft is Building an AI Copilot for the Pentagon

You read that right. Microsoft is customizing its Copilot tools for the U.S. Department of Defense — with military-grade compliance and privacy.
That’s not just “enterprise AI” — that’s classified AI.

3. Meta’s Instagram Just Got a Movie-Quality AI Upgrade

Meta is rolling out new tools that let users edit videos with backgrounds, characters, and cinematic effects — right inside Instagram.
No studio. No fancy apps. Just pure creativity on tap.

4. Perplexity AI Hits $14 Billion Valuation — and It’s Just Getting Started

With 30M queries per day and a fresh $500M raise, Perplexity is quickly becoming the AI-powered search engine.
If you’re not using it for research, you’re working too hard.

5. Datadog Adds AI Security Tools You’ll Probably Need Soon

At DASH 2025, Datadog introduced AI-driven monitoring to catch threats in real-time — even as infrastructure scales up.
It’s nerdy, yes, but super important if you work with cloud platforms.
