You're tuned in to Tech Beat, let's get into it.
A startup called Encore AI has pulled in thirty million dollars to build sales agents that actually learn from your best reps. The company mines customer calls, messages, and CRM data to extract what works, then bakes those techniques into AI-driven playbooks. It's an interesting bet that the most valuable training data isn't synthetic — it's already sitting in your call logs.
Shifting gears, Squarespace users are pushing back after a wave of price increases that many say came without much warning. The frustration isn't just about cost — it's about being billed for features they never requested. It reflects a broader pattern across Wix, Shopify, and others, as these platforms evolve from simple site builders into full business suites and pass that ambition along to customers.
And in space, a rescue mission has run into trouble of its own. Katalyst Space's LINK spacecraft, launched to extend the life of NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, is currently spinning on multiple axes after two of its three reaction wheels went offline. NASA also reports issues with its cold-gas thruster system. The mission isn't over, but the timeline just got considerably more complicated.
