Picture a digital employee that never takes a sick day and cheerfully handles the tasks that keep you from growing your business. That’s the promise of today’s AI “agents.” OpenAI’s new Agent Mode lets even the smallest shop spin up a specialized helper—one that can read your emails, draft quotes, update your inventory, or follow up on leads—using plain-English instructions instead of code.

September is National Yoga Awareness Month with a goal of educating the general public about yoga and the many health benefits it offers. Yoga began more than 5,000 years ago as a way to build individual health and well-being. The practice has grown significantly and provides a variety of options to meet individual needs. Yoga is a practice that is accessible to everyone and includes a multi-dimensional approach to wellness—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
