AWS launched AppFabric, a new no-code solution to help enterprises connect their SaaS apps and improve interoperability. According to Statista, in 2022, organizations, on average, used around 130 SaaS applications.

Airtable expanded access to its AI offering and announced a beta program that would include global retail, services, technology, and media companies. According to Airtable, during the alpha phase, users utilized the AI building block for tasks like sentiment analysis of customer feedback and reducing employees' workload for content generation and categorization.

Bubble updated the Airtable plugin to support Personal Access Tokens, and developers have until February 2024 to make the switch from API Key to Personal Access Tokens. In March, Airtable announced its plan to deprecate API Key and replace it with Personal Access Tokens and OAuth for integrations.

Kibsi announced it raised $9.3M in pre-seed and seed round funding from GTMfund, NTTVC, Preface Ventures, Ridge Ventures, Secure Octane, and Wipro Ventures. The Irvine-based startup specializes in enabling businesses to build and deploy computer vision applications.

Botco.ai unveiled GenAI Chat Cloud, comprising three modules — InstaStack, InstaChat, and InstaGraph — to help enterprises develop a variety of generative AI chatbots for carrying out various tasks.

A message from our sponsor, Vint.

Vint is the most efficient and effective way to invest in fine wine and rare spirits.

Amidst shuttering banks, tumbling tech stocks, and all the other chaos in the market, one asset class is aging like fine wine (literally). And now, there is a way to invest in it without being a billionaire.

Vint makes it possible–and efficient–to diversify your portfolio with rare wine and spirit offerings. For centuries, the wealthy used wine as a hedge against traditional investments (i.e. stocks and bonds). Like other real assets, wine and spirits provide unique diversification that historically has shown stable and non-correlated returns. Investing couldn’t be easier–the experts at Vint leverage data to curate the most desirable assets with proven track records (it’s how they exited six collections for 28.3% net annualized returns across 2022).

The best part? Vint's Reg-A+ offerings are qualified by the SEC, and their structure allows you to diversify efficiently at a realistic investment level.
