The Tech Panda takes a look at recent launches in the superfast field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

SaaS: An AI-powered Phone Screening Software to Redefine Hiring Conversations

InCruiter, a SaaS platform building full-stack AI-powered Video Interview solutions for modern enterprises, launched IncScreen, a Conversational AI-powered Phone Screening Software that reimagines the first stage of hiring. Manual phone screenings often consume up to 40% of a recruiter’s time, with inconsistent candidate experiences and the risk of overlooking qualified talent. IncScreen addresses this challenge by enabling enterprises to conduct thousands of screenings simultaneously, capturing critical details such as skills, experience, salary expectations, and notice periods.

Anil Agarwal, Founder and CEO of InCruiter, said, “Recruiters can spend nearly a third of their time on initial phone screenings, yet these conversations often lack consistency and risk overlooking qualified candidates. Industry studies suggest that AI-led tools can reduce this effort by as much as 50 to 70 per cent while also improving response rates. The real value of conversational AI is not in automation for its own sake but in creating a more structured, fair, and scalable process. It ensures every candidate is heard in the same way, across languages and locations, and that insights are captured with accuracy. For recruiters, this shift means their time is redirected from repetitive administration to the more meaningful task of evaluating potential and building connections, a change the industry has long needed.”

Features

• The platform generates transcripts, recordings, and AI-based evaluations automatically.
• If a candidate misses a call, the system seamlessly continues the interaction on WhatsApp, ensuring engagement and reducing recruiter follow-ups.
• It ensures that what often gets lost in hurried manual calls, whether it is a candidate’s specific skill detail or their availability, is systematically recorded and available for decision-making.
• By combining natural language processing, multilingual capability, and real-time analytics, the platform delivers structured, human-like conversations at scale, replacing repetitive manual calls with consistent, data-backed interactions.

Content management: Agent OS to Power Adaptive Experiences in the “Context Economy”

Contentstack, the headless CMS platform and category disruptor in digital experiences, announced Agent OS, a breakthrough in agentic AI that ushers in the age of context management, where brand interactions adapt instantly to each customer. With Agent OS, data, content and brand intelligence finally work in concert, enabling truly customer-driven experiences at scale.

“Context is the most important currency in business,” said Neha Sampat, founder and CEO of Contentstack. “For decades, marketers have relied on segments, rules and best guesses to engage customers. Agent OS in the Contentstack Edge platform changes that forever.”

Features

• Agent OS is the unified foundation for AI agents and automations with complete understanding of brand voice and real-time customer insights.
• Agents have access to a brand’s content, voice, audience profiling and insights, and other Contentstack tools to handle predictable tasks and ensure on-brand outputs where it matters.

• Polaris, Contentstack’s interactive co-pilot, will be always-on throughout Contentstack Edge, supercharging productivity and eliminating guesswork for marketing teams.

Cybersecurity: New Zero Trust Tools for Secure AI Adoption at Scale

Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the connectivity cloud company, announced powerful new capabilities for Cloudflare One, its Zero Trust platform, designed to help organizations securely adopt, build and deploy emerging generative AI applications. With these new features, Cloudflare is giving customers the ability to automatically understand, analyze and set controls on how generative AI is used throughout their organization – enhancing the productivity and innovation of their teams without sacrificing security or privacy standards.

“Cloudflare is the best place to help any business roll out AI securely. We are the only company today that can offer the security of a Zero Trust platform with a full set of AI and inference development products—all backed with the scale of a global network,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder at Cloudflare. “The world’s most innovative companies want to pull the AI lever to move, build and scale fast, without sacrificing security. We are in a unique position to help power that innovation–and help bring AI to all businesses safely.”

Features

• Discover how employees are using AI: With Cloudflare’s new Shadow AI Report, security teams can get instant insights from their traffic to gain a clear, data-driven picture of their organization’s AI usage. This granular view allows them to see not just that an employee is using an AI app, but which AI app, and what users are accessing it.
• Protect against Shadow AI: Cloudflare Gateway makes it easy to automatically enforce AI policies at the edge of Cloudflare’s network, ensuring consistent security for every employee, no matter where they work. Security teams can choose to fully block unapproved AI applications, limit the types of data uploaded into AI applications, and complete reviews of AI tools, to ensure they continue to meet security and privacy standards.
• Safeguard sensitive data without fully restricting AI usage: AI Prompt Protection allows security teams to identify potentially dangerous or risky employee interactions with AI models, and flag those prompts and responses. Policies can now be enforced inline at the prompt level to mitigate risk early on, and warn the employee about, or block them from, submitting sensitive data—like source code—being entered into an untrusted AI provider. This will give security teams the control they need to monitor company data that may be sent outside the organization, without fully restricting employees’ usage of AI tools.
