AI News in 10: Weekend Brief - October 23, 2026

This week's AI pulse: Agentic development continues its rapid acceleration, delivering potent new tools, managed services, and critical collaborative security initiatives that demand our attention before the weekend. 1. Know this ElevenLabs Introduces Managed Voice Agents, Streamlining Deployment with Key Tradeoffs Why it matters: ElevenLabs launched Eleven Realtime, offering two managed voice-agent models (Mini and Max) that seamlessly integrate speech recognition, reasoning, and turn-taking. While this significantly simplifies rapid deployment for conversational AI, developers should be aware that leveraging such a managed service means trading off granular control over individual agent components for speed and ease of integration into cloud-native platforms and CI/CD pipelines. Action: When architecting your next conversational AI application, carefully evaluate whether the significant velocity gains from a fully managed voice agent platform like Eleven Realtime align wi...

Quotes from the book "Nonviolent Communication"

Image
Definitely interesting book, but I still need lot of maturity to digest and practice all these concepts. Here are some quotes I felt interesting. It's not what you do that counts , it's the quality of your attention. Four components of NVC  observations  feelings  needs  requests Certain ways of communicating alienate us from our natural state of compassion The Sufi poet roomie once wrote "out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and doing there is a field I will meet you there". In the world of judgments our concern centers on "who is what" Analysis of others are actually expressions of our own needs and values Philosophy and judging people promotes violence Comparisons are a form of judgment Our language obscures awareness of personal responsibility We can replace language that implies lack of choice with language that acknowledges choice We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave thing and feel We can never make people do any...
