Hello, Prohuman
Today, we will talk about these stories:
India puts WhatsApp under pressure
Copilot shows up on LG TVs
FDA lets staff build AI agents
Learn AI agents automation:
AI is no longer just about answering questions — today’s AI Agents can run complex workflows, make decisions, and hand tasks to humans at the right time.
In this live 3-hour Masterclass, you’ll learn:
Learn to Build your own AI Agent from scratch using Relevance AI, n8n and Google Opal platforms step-by-step.
Deep-dive inside the workflows of fully functional AI Agents and see how they reply to emails, schedule meetings, post online, and connect 40+ tools to work in sync.
Explore 4+ breakthrough AI tools that are redefining how people build, automate, and scale their daily work.
And by the end, you’ll understand exactly how these agents think, act, and collaborate to save you hours every week.
âś… Perfect for founders, professionals, and creators who want to use AI not just as a tool, but as a team member.
India is tightening the screws on WhatsApp
WhatsApp’s biggest market just became its hardest one.
India has ordered messaging apps to keep accounts continuously tied to an active SIM card and force web and desktop users to re-authenticate every six hours, with compliance due within 90 days of November 28. The rules hit WhatsApp hardest, with more than 500 million users in India and daily usage rates as high as 94%, plus heavy reliance from small merchants using WhatsApp Business on desktop.
This cuts directly against how WhatsApp actually works in India, where shop owners register on a phone and spend their day replying to customers on a PC while ceiling fans hum overhead. The government frames this as fraud prevention after â‚ą228 billion in cyber losses in 2024, but the practical effect is breaking workflows that millions already depend on.
That feels like blunt policy. WhatsApp’s growth in India is now about retention, not new users, and these rules risk pushing businesses toward workarounds or rival platforms like Telegram and Signal. They also quietly pull messaging apps into telecom-style regulation without new legislation, which sets a precedent well beyond WhatsApp.
If everyday infrastructure can be reshaped this fast, how stable is any platform’s biggest market really?
Copilot is now baked into the TV
An LG TV updated itself and Copilot appeared.
TechPowerUp reports that Microsoft’s Copilot AI app is now showing up on LG webOS TVs with no option to uninstall it, based on user reports and screenshots. The app can be ignored, but it sits alongside other system apps, while LG also runs features like “Live Plus,” which analyzes on-screen content for recommendations and ads.
What stands out is how quiet this rollout is. No big announcement, no clear explanation of what the app actually does, just a new AI presence glowing in the Apps menu while you sit on the couch at night flipping inputs.
This feels intentional. Microsoft looks like it’s treating TVs as just another surface for Copilot, especially as Linux-based platforms like webOS quietly grow past a 3% PC share. If this sticks, other TV operating systems are likely next, whether users ask for it or not.
When software shows up uninvited in your living room, how much choice do you really have left?
The FDA is testing AI from the inside
The FDA is letting staff build their own AI agents.
The agency announced a voluntary agentic AI tool for all employees, designed to chain multiple models together for multi-step work like pre-market reviews, inspections, and post-market surveillance. It is backing the rollout with a two-month internal challenge, with projects showcased at Scientific Computing Day in January 2026.
What matters here is not the tech label, it is the scope of access. This is not a pilot tucked inside an innovation lab, it is an agency-wide invitation to automate real regulatory work, from meeting notes to compliance checks, during normal office hours with fluorescent lights buzzing overhead.
That signals real confidence. If FDA reviewers start relying on these tools for validation and surveillance, expectations will shift fast for other federal agencies that still treat AI as a policy memo topic. It also raises questions about consistency when different staff build different workflows on the same underlying models.
Once regulators start designing their own AI helpers, who decides where the guardrails actually sit?
