 # Automaid launches AI hub for agents that keep working Mon, 21st Sep 2026 (Today) [.webp)\ \ SOFIAH NICHOLE SALIVIO\ News Editor](https://itbrief.asia/author/sofiah-nichole-salivio) Automaid has launched an AI operations hub aimed at users who want software agents to keep working beyond a chat session. The Singapore-based company says users can describe an intended outcome in plain English, after which AI agents choose tools, run code and carry out tasks across connected software. Automaid is entering a market shaped by chat-based AI assistants and workflow automation platforms. The launch marks the latest venture for Founder Daniel Tan, whose background is in fintech. Instead of focusing on a single industry workflow, the new company is trying to apply agent-based automation across a broader range of business tasks and consumer software tools. FindTheLoan raised an undisclosed seed round in 2025. Automaid's proposition is that natural-language instructions can replace much of the manual setup associated with traditional workflow builders. Tan set out the company's position in a statement announcing the launch. "The aim is to let users describe the outcome they want and have the agent keep the work moving, including when something happens later," Tan said. ## Explore with AI ChatGPT [Key takeaways](https://chatgpt.com/?q=Summarise%20the%20key%20takeaways%20from%20this%20TechDay%20article%3A%20Automaid%20launches%20AI%20hub%2

# AI agents are agreeing and acting: machines are now smarter than humans. Their principals merely agree September 20, 2026, 11:56 AM ET India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi (L) takes a group photo with AI company leaders including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (C) and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei (R) at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 19, 2026. In July, hundreds of OpenAI AI agents created a [message board](https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/), exchanged roughly 70,000 messages to coordinate on linking exposed or stolen credentials and broke into Hugging Face’s servers.

# Meta’s New AI Agent Could Be the Missing Piece for META Stock It helps people stay on top of things, takes tasks and projects off their plate, and turns long-term goals into action plans,” the company said in an [announcement](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/) posted on Sept. Plus, it's getting good reviews from Goldman Sachs, with one analyst recently maintaining a “Buy” rating and a $725 price target for META stock, calling the Muse AI launch a catalyst. ## Meta Is Overly Reliant on Advertising But nearly all of that revenue came from advertising; the company [generated $59.36 billion from ads](https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2026/q2/Earnings-Presentation-Q2-2026.pdf) across its platforms, up from $46.56 billion a year ago. This line item increased from $583 million in revenue to just over $1 billion in Q2, with CFO Susan Li saying much of that revenue is coming from Meta’s newly launched subscription effort. ## Meta’s Subscription Model Could Bring in Billions Goldman Sachs noted that subscriptions can cost up to $100 per month, and analysts see more opportunities for monetization and commercialization of Muse AI over time. Businesses and content creators can also subscribe for between $15 and $500 per month, depending on the level of service they seek.
