CODING JAG - Issue 294

Welcome to the 294th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by TestMu AI!👐

The most forward-thinking companies are not just using AI, they are hiring it. It is showing up in Microsoft Teams, in Capcom’s playtesting pipelines, in Lindy’s iMessage support, and in Jotform’s workflows. The line between an AI assistant and an AI colleague is getting thinner every week.

This week’s edition covers all of that and more. See how Capcom uses Google Cloud to build AI agents that replace manual playtesting. Find out why GitHub Copilot is switching to token-based billing and what it means for your team. Anthropic shares how L’Oréal, Lyft, and Rakuten are rolling out Claude Cowork across their organizations.

You will also find out how n8n agents now show up as real teammates inside Microsoft 365, why AI data readiness is the missing step most enterprises skip, and how LLMs are changing test automation with real code examples.

Why AI Data Readiness Is The Missing Step In Enterprise AI Adoption

10 minChrome-Extensionforbes.com

🔐 Asaf Kochan, President and Cofounder of Sentra, writes in Forbes that most enterprise AI projects stumble not because of bad models but because of messy, ungoverned data. AI assistants like Copilot inherit existing access permissions, which means oversharing and poor data labeling become instant security risks. Getting AI-ready means treating AI agents like governed identities before deployment, not after.

💸 Joe Green at AI News reports that starting June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot is ditching flat monthly requests and switching to token-based billing. Users will get AI Credits instead of premium requests, with each credit worth one US cent. Simple queries cost little, but large coding tasks will burn through credits fast, pushing developers to think more carefully about how they use Copilot.
