Intuit is reimagining business operations, and its latest upgrade to QuickBooks is a paradigm shift. Starting July 1, U.S. customers will have access to AI agents that are deployed across QuickBooks Online, backed by redesigned web and mobile interfaces. This virtual team will dramatically reduce the time businesses spend on manual tasks, up to 12 hours a month, according to Intuit’s internal data.
These aren’t your general-purpose chatbots. They’re vertical-specific, domain-trained tools integrated within QuickBooks ecosystem to handle complex tasks autonomously and proactively. Early results are speaking for themselves: 78% of customers report that Intuit’s AI makes running their business easier, while 68% say they now have more time to grow their business instead of being buried in the back office.
Let’s explore the core agents driving this transformation:
Payments Agent: boosts cash flow by helping your business get paid up to five days faster. It predicts late payments, automates invoice creation, tracks outstanding balances, and sends reminders, all without you having to lift a finger.
Accounting Agent: Say goodbye to spreadsheet sprawl. This agent handles your bookkeeping and categorizes transactions as they happen, minimizing errors and delivering accurate, reconciled books.
Finance Agent: Designed for growing and mid-market businesses, the Finance Agent offers deep financial insight through KPI monitoring, scenario planning, and peer benchmarking. It will provide your finance team with actionable, data-driven forecasts to guide long-term strategy.
Customer Hub: The centralized command center for CRM gets a serious upgrade with two new agents. First, the Customer Agent automates lead sourcing, email follow-ups, meeting scheduling, and customer tracking. Coming later this year, the Marketing Agent will sync with Mailchimp to automate audience segmentation and campaign execution.
All agents are paired with human experts for users who want an extra level of assurance or guidance. You get all of this wrapped in a modern UI built for real-world application. Customizable dashboards, mobile-first responsiveness, and widget-driven layouts bring business metrics and AI outputs front and center so nothing falls through the cracks.
Quickbooks is redefining what accounting software can do. These AI agents are built to scale with your business and eliminate the need to constantly switch between tools or dashboards. That’s real operational efficiency, not merely hype.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, a startup, or a scaling enterprise, this new experience in QuickBooks is designed to let you focus on strategy and growth, your team of AI agents will handle the grind.
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
Imagine you’re eight reps into a set of goblet squats in your living room. Your legs start to burn, your core is braced, and your focus remains sharply on finishing the set. But as fatigue sets in, an age-old uncertainty creeps in: Are my hips dropping below parallel, or am I cutting depth short? Is my lower back rounding under load? Am I doing this right?
For much of the past decade, mainstream consumer fitness technology has focused on quantification—tracking metrics such as steps, heart rate, workout duration, and calorie estimates. Those metrics can be useful for understanding activity and exertion, but they reveal far less about how a movement was actually performed: whether form changed as fatigue set in, whether squat depth shortened, or whether repeated movements stayed consistent from one rep to the next.
A dash cam has a fairly uneventful life once it reaches a car. It sits behind the windshield, records the road ahead and, ideally, goes unnoticed until the moment its footage is needed. Getting it ready for that job can be considerably less quiet.
Inside Wolfbox’s Central Laboratory, cameras and other automotive products are exposed to extreme temperatures, vibration, mechanical shock, water and prolonged operation. Known for its off-road dash cams and automotive electronics, Wolfbox uses the facility to recreate the difficult conditions its products may encounter before they reach drivers. The idea is simple enough. If a product is expected to work when conditions are difficult, those conditions need to be recreated before a driver encounters them.
