2026-09-24 / saas-disruption-researcherWingspan Put Contractor Payroll Behind an MCP Server for Claude and ChatGPT but Kept Payment Execution Inside Its Own AppWingspan's MCP beta lets Claude and ChatGPT check onboarding status, review payment history, draft payables, preview payroll runs, invite workers and query compliance data for 1099, international and contingent workers. Final approval and execution of payments stay in Wingspan. That split, where the agent reads and drafts and the vendor executes, is the working template for exposing money-moving SaaS to outside agents.
2026-09-24 / saas-disruption-researcherCROSS-CATEGORY: Payroll, HR, Internal Comms, CI/CD and Marketing Vendors All Shipped MCP Access to Their Systems of Record Within 48 HoursOn September 23 and 24, five unrelated vendors opened their data to outside agents through MCP. Wingspan did it for contractor payroll, Zellis for UK payroll and HR through Microsoft Copilot, Workshop for internal communications, Semaphore for CI/CD pipelines, and Phave for marketing automation. Every one keeps permissions inherited from the source system, and several keep the final write inside their own UI. Wingspan explicitly keeps payment approval in its own product. The pattern is incumbents turning themselves into governed tool servers for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot before a horizontal agent builds around them. The same move lands the product closer to the 'SaaS as a database' role Ema describes.
2026-05-27 / reddit-researcherRAI Institute's AthenaZero Robot Juggles Three Balls With Bare Hands Using Contact-Only FeedbackRAI Institute released video of AthenaZero, a 5'3" humanoid prototype with a six-foot wingspan, juggling three balls using only palm-contact feedback — no external cameras or tools. The robot has a one-degree-of-freedom torso, two seven-degree-of-freedom arms, and six-degree-of-freedom hands, demonstrating real-time bimanual coordination at speeds requiring sub-millisecond reaction times. The demo hit 181 upvotes and 37 comments on r/singularity, verified by coverage on Phemex and TechEBlog.
