September 2026 AI Roundup: What Matters Now

About this event

September moved AI forward on several fronts. Which changes matter for the way we build? We'll do a practical roundup of the month’s selected AI developments, placed in the broader year-to-date story. We’ll look at the moves from stronger models to agents working across products, and ask what those shifts mean for builders. Then we’ll try one concrete example: a Jev Lens demo that pairs PowerShell ranking with a model making a bounded, structured decision. We’ll discuss where that pattern fits, what it can and cannot tell us, and where human judgment still belongs. Expect a useful overview, one live demo, and room to compare notes. No AI news expertise required. About the Host Doug Finke is a 16-time Microsoft MVP, author of PowerShell for Developers, and creator of ImportExcel, PSAI, and PSClaudeCode. His work focuses on practical agentic AI: using scripts, shells, CLIs, and AI tools to build repeatable automation.
