SandboxAQ Makes Switch Free to Put Any AI Agent in Slack and Teams

SandboxAQ has released Switch, software that pulls AI agents built on rival frameworks into the same Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord channels where employees already work, and made the code publicly available at no cost. The company announced the launch on August 26, 2026, positioning Switch as the coordination layer between the agents developers are building and the collaboration tools enterprises have already paid for. Switch turns a chat channel into what SandboxAQ calls a room: a shared…

ScaFi: A robot that grows like a fish, not a machine—from 2 feet to nearly 10

Propeller-powered underwater vehicles have long helped scientists explore and monitor aquatic environments. But they're limited by their own mechanics: Spinning blades can snag on vegetation, stir up sediment and startle the wildlife they're often sent to study, making them poorly suited to shallow creeks, dense weeds or close encounters with fish.

Sonic micro-robots burst into motion without batteries or motors

Nowadays, technology is increasingly focused on making electronics smaller, as many industries – from medicine to aerospace and security – stand to benefit. But reducing the size of devices brings a new challenge: what if they become simply too small to fit a conventional battery, motor, and other mechanical parts?
