PDK lets an AI agent build and test Ignition Perspective views on a dev gateway

A utility AI digest sorts this week's vendor claims into deployed, deploying and planned

Hitachi's field agents are deployed, Santee Cooper's 75% faster modeling is a forecast, and Constellation's agents are planned. The digest notes none of the documents mention NERC CIP. It gives operators a quick way to tell which AI claims are already running and which are still promises.

Anthropic's free xlsx skill lets Claude build and edit Excel files

For industrial sales: turn a customer's spec sheet into a priced quote in Excel.

For process safety engineers and PHA leaders: see exactly which hazards an AI misses before trusting it with any part of a study.
