On September 22, 2026, France’s Ministry of Labor launched “Impulsion IA 2027” at Station F, a four-pillar plan for AI at work built around training workers, supporting SMBs, social dialogue and anticipating effects on working conditions — tied to a national ambition of training 15 million professionals by 2030.

Claude for Small Business jumps to 43 ready-made workflows — what it still won’t do for a French SMB

Custom AI SaaS or no-code: a three-point test to choose in 2026

OpenAI opens up its agent infrastructure: what the Agents API changes for build-vs-buy in your SMB

On September 10, 2026, OpenAI launched the Agents API in public beta, exposing the same "harness" that runs Codex — session management, orchestration, context compaction, recovery — behind a single API call.
