Agentic AI is reshaping enterprise commerce on Shopify by accelerating developer velocity, improving operational intelligence, and enabling adaptive storefronts. This article explores how large retailers use AI-driven workflows, experimentation, and scalable infrastructure to operate smarter, and how Square Codex supports execution through nearshore engineering teams.

We return to this topic because not everything about AI is positive. At Square Codex we have been covering hopeful advances and useful applications, but it is also necessary to face the sharper edges. Germany is only the latest visible example of a phenomenon that is spreading quickly. There is an industrialization of non-consensual sexualized content built from public or private photos, amplified by generative models and platforms that reward reach and speed. The conversation has moved beyond celebrities and now affects ordinary users, schools and workplaces. It opens a front that touches mental health, reputation and personal safety, and it reaches far beyond technology alone.

Alexa+ entering the web marks a shift from voice-based assistance to everyday AI work. This article explores how browser access, deeper integrations, and execution-focused design redefine the role of digital assistants in daily productivity.

AI-powered coaches are reshaping fitness and wellness products by combining personalization, speed, and trust. This article explores the operational and technical foundations behind effective AI coaching and the role Square Codex plays in turning these systems into reliable, everyday experiences.

Generative AI delivers value when it becomes part of everyday operations. This article explains how organizations integrate AI into processes, data, and governance, and how Square Codex helps move use cases from pilot to production with control and consistency.

We’ve reached the end of the year with an intriguing note. Alphabet finishes 2025 with momentum that’s hard to ignore. Google’s stock delivered its best annual performance since 2009, outpacing several megacap peers largely because the artificial intelligence narrative stopped being a promise and started showing up in product, margins, and cash flow. The rally wasn’t a late-year blip. Throughout 2025, analysts saw ad revenue regain traction, YouTube consolidate watch time and performance formats, and Google Cloud contribute growth with a more visible path to profitability. For investors, the turning point was translating AI advances into concrete, defensible services with a roadmap that fits the balance sheet. Taken together, that combination explains why Alphabet ended the year as one of the large-cap tech names with the strongest relative return.

Marketing agencies are moving beyond AI experiments toward operational impact. This article explores how creativity and data come together through artificial intelligence, and how Square Codex helps agencies integrate AI into daily workflows with speed, structure, and measurable results.

China is accelerating the adoption of AI and edge computing across its manufacturing base to move from labor-driven production to data-driven efficiency. This article explores the economic pressures, infrastructure choices, and execution challenges shaping the country’s push toward smart factories and resilient supply chains.

Nvidia is closing the year with a move that underlines how much infrastructure sets the pace of artificial intelligence. According to multiple reports, the company has agreed to acquire Groq’s assets for roughly 20 billion dollars in an all-cash deal that, if completed, would be the largest in its history and would open a new chapter in the market for inference compute. The timing matters. Demand for capacity still outstrips supply, and the big platforms are competing for every millisecond of latency and every watt of efficiency.

As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for power-dense computing, data centers are evolving from physical assets into strategic platforms for value creation. This article examines how AI is reshaping infrastructure investment, deal structures, and operational priorities, and why execution beyond hardware is becoming the true differentiator.
