NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Buda AI (https://buda.im) today announced the launch of its cloud-native multi-agent workspace, introducing a new paradigm called “Agents as a Company.” The platform enables individuals and teams to organize, coordinate, and manage AI employees that work together within a unified environment — eliminating the need for local hardware or complex infrastructure setup.

Most AI tools today operate in isolation, forcing users to switch between tabs, copy outputs manually, and stitch workflows together by hand. As disconnected chatbots, coding assistants, and browser agents multiply, productivity suffers. Buda AI challenges this “one tool, one task” model by providing a complete AI company structure where specialized agents collaborate toward shared goals under human coordination.

A Unified Workspace for Humans and AI Agents

At the platform’s core is the Organizer + Agents model, where an Organizer coordinates a team of specialized agents handling functions such as strategy, marketing, sales, finance, research, content, coding, and operations. Each agent operates within an isolated Cloud Computer sandbox featuring native terminal access, fast file storage, an integrated browser, and visual Drive for managing generated work.

Key capabilities include:

Buda Drive: Persistent memory ensures files, decisions, and task history survive restarts, allowing agents to accumulate context instead of starting from zero each session.Shared Space Memory: A unified Drive gives agents and human team members one source of truth, reducing context loss between sessions.Visible Agent Work: Every agent has its own live browser, terminal, and Drive, enabling users to monitor progress at each step rather than receiving only final results.Multi-Model Support: Access leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and Kimi within one workspace.

“The question is not whether AI will become powerful. It is whether the people building it will stand with humans or against them,” said Kelly Chan, founder of Buda. “We believe AI should make humans more powerful, not replace them.”

Designed for AI enthusiasts, founders, marketing leaders, content teams, and developers, Buda AI offers free, Plus, and Pro plans. The platform also features an ai agent marketplace where users can add ready-made agents, teams, and skills. To explore the full range of capabilities, visit Buda AI, discover pre-built ai agent skills, or browse customizable ai agent templates.

About Buda AI

Buda AI is a cloud-native multi-agent workspace built around “Agents as a Company.” By unifying Agents, Drive, Terminal, Browser, Canvas, persistent memory, collaboration, and Cloud Computers, Buda AI helps people organize AI employees that work together and get things done — without local hardware or complex setup.

The S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index brings credibility and structure to digital asset indexing by focusing on quality and real utility

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Dow Jones Indices, the world’s leading index provider, and Pantera Capital, a leading digital asset-native investment firm, have launched the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, designed to serve as a benchmark for institutional investors who want to allocate to digital assets in a more disciplined and structured way.

Unlike many existing crypto indexes that focus on price momentum or popular tokens (including meme coins or Bitcoin), this new index uses a rules-based approach similar to what’s used in traditional finance benchmarks. It only includes tokens and companies that show real-world use and generate actual revenue. The goal is to highlight digital assets with strong fundamentals—those that are actually being used and have economic value—rather than those that are just speculative or trending.

The index helps global investors move beyond name recognition and single-asset indices, offering a more disciplined and transparent way to measure investments in the blockchain and digital asset space. It’s also designed to be used as a reference for new investment products or for managers who actively pick digital assets.

“S&P Dow Jones Indices helps investors cut through market noise with benchmarks you can trust. With the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, we bring that same discipline to digital assets, using a fundamentals-driven, economics-based framework built for diversified portfolios. In collaboration with Pantera and powered by Artemis data, we apply the same standards in trusted benchmarks like the S&P 500 to help investors focus on fundamentals in one of today’s most fast-moving asset classes,” said Cathy Clay, CEO at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

The launch signals a new phase for digital assets: growing market maturity. Blockchain use cases are proving broader value, regulation is becoming clearer in major markets, and institutional involvement is getting easier. However, many existing products don’t reflect the complexity of the asset class or separate potentially speculative exposure from real blockchain-driven activity.

“We’re thrilled to bring Pantera’s digital asset expertise to this collaboration with S&P Dow Jones Indices. Pantera has spent years building digital asset-native research and governance designed for institutional outcomes. For global investors, the biggest friction point in crypto hasn’t changed; it’s knowing how to allocate. We believe we’re at a pivotal moment for digital assets, and that’s why we worked with S&P Dow Jones Indices to build an index designed to identify which digital assets and infrastructure truly matter,” said Dan Morehead, Pantera Founder and Managing Partner.

Family-owned Iowa truckload carrier has confirmed more than 10,000 appointments through Qued, with email scheduling handled at a 98.8% success rate

BROADLANDS, Va., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Qued, a leader in developing sophisticated, automated appointment scheduling solutions for supply chain and logistics companies, today announced a strategic partnership with Don Hummer Trucking Corporation, a family-owned interstate truckload carrier trusted by some of the nation’s most recognizable brands. Don Hummer Trucking has deployed Qued’s Smart Appointments platform to automate appointment scheduling across its operations, taking manual booking work off the desks of the people who keep its trucks moving.

The numbers behind the announcement:

More than 10,000 appointments confirmed through Qued94.2% confirmation rate98.8% success rate on email-based scheduling

Qued’s platform selects the best appointment slots in real time, weighing ETAs, facility capacity, historical performance, and the specific requirements of each location. It connects directly to the transportation management system a carrier already runs, and it works on every channel a facility can require: web portals, email, and AI-powered voice calls. At Don Hummer Trucking, email scheduling has been the standout, with Qued handling email-based appointment requests at a 98.8% success rate.

“Don Hummer Trucking is the kind of company this industry is built on. The president holds a CDL and delivers loads. The family name rides on every trailer,” said Tom Curee, President of Qued. “When a three-generation fleet with that much on the line trusts Qued with its appointments, we take it seriously. Hummer’s confirmation numbers show what disciplined operators get when real automation goes to work on scheduling.”

“Every load delivered safely and on time carries the opportunity to earn our customer’s trust. Qued took a job that used to eat hours of our team’s day and quietly handles it in the background. Confirmations happen, trucks keep moving, and our people stay focused on drivers and customers,” said Jake Von Feldt, Vice President of Finance at Don Hummer Trucking.

Don Hummer Trucking joins a growing roster of asset-based carriers on Qued, from family fleets to some of the largest carriers in North America.
