TLDR IT 2026-05-20

Most ITSM platforms bolt AI onto a ticketing system built for a different era. New era AI-native ITSMs are designed the other way around with automated resolution, context-aware routing, and continuous learning as the foundation.

[This live demo] walks through exactly how it works in practice.

Register to see:

✅ Tickets routed and resolved across identity, endpoint, and HR systems with zero human triage

✅ Routing logic, SLA thresholds, and priority tiers defined in natural language – no workflow builders, no scripts

✅ Resolution confidence that compounds with every closed ticket, surfacing the next workflow to automate

Microsoft plans to improve Windows 11 driver quality by pushing more third-party drivers out of kernel mode and into safer user-mode drivers or Microsoft-owned class drivers. The company also plans stronger partner verification, more automated checks, and cleaner Windows Update catalog hygiene.

Google is adding voice-driven Gemini features to Gmail, Docs, and Keep, allowing users to ask spoken questions, generate drafts, and organize notes across Workspace apps. The updates push Gemini deeper into day-to-day productivity workflows, with new inbox assistance and cross-app retrieval features coming to Workspace business previews this summer.

Google used I/O 2026 to frame Gemini as an increasingly agentic layer across its products, with Sundar Pichai highlighting Gemini's role in helping users get more done across Google's ecosystem. The announcement reinforces how big tech is moving from standalone chatbots toward AI systems that can take actions across apps and workflows.

A new phishing-as-a-service platform called EvilTokens reportedly compromised more than 340 Microsoft 365 organizations in five weeks by abusing OAuth consent flows. The trend shows why identity teams need to treat app authorization and delegated access as seriously as passwords and MFA.

Google's developer announcements at I/O show how AI platforms are increasingly bundling models, IDEs, app-building tools, APIs, and deployment workflows into one ecosystem. That makes it easier to build with AI, but it also raises the risk that enterprise AI stacks become harder to migrate away from over time.

Terraform Enterprise 2.0 introduces Stacks for multi-tier orchestration, SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, and project-level notifications to standardize observability. These updates improve operational efficiency, security, and governance, enabling organizations to manage complex, large-scale infrastructure deployments with greater consistency and reduced manual administrative overhead.

Automation Anywhere launched EnterpriseClaw with Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta, and OpenAI to help enterprises run AI agents across cloud, desktop, on-prem, and secured internal systems with centralized orchestration and governance controls. It's one of the more substantive multi-vendor enterprise AI launches today, combining infrastructure, identity, security, and agent orchestration in a single stack.

OnlyCFO details a six-step process for building AI accounting agents using MCP connectors to ERP and cloud storage. By automating prepaid reconciliations, the team reduced a two-hour manual task to five minutes, ultimately cutting one full day off the month-end close while maintaining human oversight for final review.

As marketing stacks grow more complex, teams need to borrow more from IT operating models, including clear ownership, governance, service management, and lifecycle discipline. Tool sprawl becomes an operational problem long before it becomes a technology problem.

Andrej Karpathy, an OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI leader, has joined Anthropic's pre-training team.

TeamPCP's "Mini Shai-Hulud" supply chain attack has poisoned major npm and PyPI packages—including TanStack, UiPath, and Mistral AI—with a self-propagating credential worm that installs a destructive wiper daemon to delete a developer's home directory if stolen GitHub tokens are revoked.
