My monthly AI roundup for October 2026 covers Google AI Mode, agentic checkout, cheaper models and EU AI Act labelling. It closes with a practical checklist for small businesses.
Artificial Intelligence
Welcome to the <strong>Artificial Intelligence</strong> category, where I look at how AI is changing search, eCommerce, and the way we build for the web. I cover <strong>AI search</strong> like Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, <strong>agentic commerce</strong>, new models and tools, and the rules shaping it all, like the EU AI Act. I write from hands-on testing with my clients’ sites, not from the hype.
Starting from October 2026, every month I publish a <strong>State of AI</strong> roundup with the news that actually matters for business owners, marketers, and developers, checked against primary sources. Curious which AI shifts deserve your attention and which ones you can safely ignore? Read on, because this is where I sort the signal from the noise.
