Seeing Machines — the Australian company behind FOVIO, the low-power vision chip used in driver monitoring in modern cars — has launched a Physical AI Platform for humanoid robots, according to its launch announcement.

Gartner's newest forecast is a reality check for the agentic AI boom: by 2028, the inference cost of a single agentic workflow will rise more than fivefold — even while the price per token keeps falling.

This guide explains seven workflows that work in European schools, the GDPR-conscious tools behind them, and the prompts that make them work.
