Welcome to This Week’s NexaQuanta AI & Technology Briefing
Thank you for joining us in this week’s edition of the NexaQuanta newsletter. Our goal is to bring you clear, meaningful insights from the rapidly evolving world of AI and enterprise technology—so you stay informed, ahead, and ready to make smarter decisions.
Whether you follow AI for innovation, productivity, or strategic transformation, this week’s stories offer a powerful glimpse into where the industry is heading.
In this issue, we look at Microsoft’s new Agent 365 and how it helps organisations manage autonomous AI systems at scale.
We also cover IBM’s integration of Consulting Advantage with Microsoft Copilot, bringing major productivity gains to enterprise workflows.
And finally, we explore Google’s launch of Gemini 3, its most advanced multimodal AI model designed to push the boundaries of reasoning, learning, and complex problem-solving.
Microsoft Unveils Agent 365 to Help Businesses Control and Secure Autonomous AI Systems
Microsoft has introduced Agent 365, a new system that allows companies to monitor and manage autonomous AI agents inside the workplace. The company expects more than 1.3 billion AI agents to be active in offices by 2028. These agents act on behalf of employees and handle tasks such as coding, inventory checks, and supply chain updates.
Many businesses are exploring agent-based software, but adoption has been uneven. Some firms report strong results, while others face challenges that raise concerns about a growing AI “bubble.”
Agent 365 gives IT teams clearer control. They can see which agents are operating, restrict their access, and even quarantine any agent that behaves in an unexpected or unsafe way. The tool works with Microsoft-built agents as well as those built on platforms like Salesforce.
Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft’s commercial business, said the product was created after business leaders asked for better visibility and return-on-investment tracking for AI systems.
Agent 365 is available through an early access program. The launch was announced at Microsoft Ignite, where the company also introduced Work IQ, a feature that helps organisations build their own agents using Microsoft 365 Copilot’s intelligence and data foundation.

IBM Integrates Consulting Advantage with Microsoft Copilot to Deliver Faster, Smarter Enterprise Workflows
AI Tools Now Embedded Inside Microsoft 365
IBM Consulting has integrated IBM Consulting Advantage directly into Microsoft 365 apps through Microsoft Copilot. Consultants can access IBM’s AI assistants, assets, and insights inside tools like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook. This makes daily tasks faster and more efficient.
Productivity Gains and Measurable Value
Thousands of IBM consultants are already using the integration. IBM reports 250,000 hours saved each year, generating over $35 million in value. Work that once required hours can now be finished in minutes, without reducing quality.
Access to Advanced IBM AI Agents
Through Copilot, consultants can reach several IBM Advantage agents. These include tools for AI assets, industry research, IBM offerings, partnership insights, and client success stories. IBM is also developing a new agent using ContextForge and Model Context Protocol to automatically select the best assistant for each task.
Stronger IBM–Microsoft Alliance
The integration extends IBM’s long-standing partnership with Microsoft. Both companies aim to help clients modernise operations by combining IBM’s industry expertise with Microsoft’s cloud and AI platforms. Their shared goal is to scale enterprise AI responsibly and deliver stronger business outcomes.

Google Launches Gemini 3 to Power Smarter Workflows and Advanced Reasoning
New model brings deeper reasoning, strong multimodal skills, and wide product rollout.
What is Gemini 3
Gemini 3 is Google’s latest and most capable AI model. It combines advanced reasoning with multimodal understanding. The model reads text, images, video, audio and code. It is built to grasp nuance and context with less prompting.
Performance and benchmarks
Google says Gemini 3 outperforms prior versions across major tests. It tops leaderboards and shows strong results on complex reasoning and math. A special mode, Deep Think, pushes reasoning to the limit for the toughest tasks.
Where it will appear
Gemini 3 is rolling out across Google products. It is live in Search (AI Mode), the Gemini app, AI Studio, Vertex AI and a new agent platform called Google Antigravity. Developers and enterprise customers will get access through these channels.
Key business benefits
Gemini 3 can speed research, create richer visualisations, and generate production-quality code. It helps teams learn, plan and build faster. The model’s 1-million token context window supports long documents and large projects. This can cut time on research and prototyping.
Safety and responsible use
Google highlights ongoing safety testing and staged access for advanced modes. The company says it will continue improving Gemini 3 and carefully expand its availability.
