IDC says Docusign's agreement AI is in production, not slideware

The report finds that the Iris AI Assistant, ready-to-deploy agents and Agent Studio for building custom agents are all generally available today.

IDC Research Director Ryan O'Leary said enterprise legal teams need "AI they can trust and workflows that adapt" to organizational complexity.

San Francisco – November 04, 2026 -- Redis has expanded Redis Iris, its real-time context engine for AI agents, to six customizable capabilities, four of them generally available and two in beta. The company targets the inefficiencies that keep agents out of production: over-stuffed prompts, redundant LLM calls and brittle custom integrations that cost more in tokens and time than the value they return.

Four of six Iris capabilities are generally available today

Intent Router matches the meaning of a request rather than its wording and sends it to a remembered FAQ, an agent skill, a human or an LLM. It also supports agent and model routing, guardrails and "fuzzy" if-statements, so decisions are not limited to true or false.

MENLO PARK – November 04, 2026 -- PhoenixAI, the creator of the StarRocks open source project, launched Contextbase, a system that stores semantics, knowledge, memory, traces and evaluations in a single governed database for AI agents. The company unveiled the product at its NEXT QUERY 2026 Data + AI Infrastructure Summit. Private preview opens November 4.

Contextbase replaces four separate tool categories with one store

PhoenixAI says most agent stacks scatter context across a semantic layer for definitions, a vector store for documents, a memory service, and observability tools for traces and evaluations. Each keeps its own copy of the data and its own permissions. Contextbase consolidates them.

The system holds five types of context:

Chicago – November 04, 2026 -- Reply has been included in Forrester's The SAP Services Landscape, Q3 2026, a report that maps the range of providers and services in the SAP market.

Reply participates as an SAP Gold Partner through four SAP-dedicated companies: Syskoplan Reply, 4brands Reply, Portaltech Reply and Power Reply. They serve clients in consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, food, chemicals, retail, and energy and utilities.

Syskoplan Reply moves Victrola from SAP ECC to SAP Cloud ERP

The result supports Victrola's multi-channel distribution model and gives the company greater supply chain visibility. Reply says it also lays the foundation for Victrola's AI journey.

NEW YORK – November 04, 2026 -- Hunting navigation app onX has cut the time needed to build predictive audience attributes from two weeks at best, and often closer to a month, to roughly one day, using Rokt's mParticle Agent.

Plain-language prompts replace external team coordination

Through the agent's Predictions capability, onX marketers describe the touchpoint they want to predict in plain language. The agent configures the prediction for review and approval, then makes the predictive attribute available for audience creation.

Previously, building a prediction required standing meetings with an external team and work to locate where data lived. Myka Arneson, Senior Marketing Technology Manager at onX, said the company had "zero self-service" before the rollout. She added that the agent surfaces patterns her team would not have thought to look for.

STOCKHOLM – November 04, 2026 -- Sinch AB has been named a Marketplace Partner in the SpaceX Super Intelligence (SpaceXSI) Partner Network, embedding its voice, verification, messaging and email infrastructure directly into enterprise applications built in Grok Build, formerly Cursor.

Sinch plugin bundles one MCP server and 15 Skills in a single installation

The Sinch plugin is available now through the Cursor Marketplace. It combines the Sinch Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with 15 Skills, giving developers and AI coding agents access to current Sinch API knowledge and tools. Developers can use it to integrate messaging and verification workflows and to test communications functionality without manually searching documentation or building integrations from scratch.

London – November 04, 2026 -- IgniteTech is rolling out AI that takes a customer's bug report, fixes the cause, tests the fix, deploys the update and notifies the customer, with no developer in the loop for routine changes. CEO Eric Vaughan presented the approach at the Financial Times Future of AI Summit in London.

Khoros platforms get the AI-run development model first

Khoros, which Vaughan also leads alongside GFI Software, will apply the approach first to its Aurora AI and Iris AI platforms. Community and social media customers will be able to report a problem or request a feature and see it built into the shared product. Vaughan's target: a bug reported today should be fixed by the next morning.
