Fiverr Cuts 25% of Staff, Shifts to AI-First Strategy
Fiverr is laying off 250 employees as part of CEO Micha Kaufman’s plan to turn the company into an “AI-first” business.
Kaufman said the move is a “painful reset” designed to create a leaner, faster organization with fewer management layers and infrastructure built around AI. Fiverr has already seen success with AI-powered tools like Neo, Fiverr Go, and Dynamic Matching, but now aims to double down on AI talent, simplify operations, and return to “startup mode.”

Fiverr believes that AI can unlock new growth, but demonstrates to the world how quickly the gig economy is being reshaped: Fewer users, higher-value clients, and a heavy emphasis on AI-driven services.
From Search to Prompt: How Consumer AI is Eating the App World
Over the past 18 months, there’s been an explosion of AI-enabled consumer platforms across sectors, transforming existing services.
AI adoption is growing rapidly, with ChatGPT and other generative tools becoming the “new Google” for practical guidance, learning, shopping, and productivity.
- AI tutoring platforms personalize content, make learning interactive, and scale to Gen Z/Alpha users in India and Southeast Asia.
- Copilot-style AI tools are writing code, generating slides, automating tasks, and assisting employees.
- AI-generated content is boosting creators’ reach on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
- AI companions, shopping assistants, travel planners, nutritionists, and virtual try-ons are emerging rapidly.
- Lower pricing in India/SEA, mobile penetration, and seamless payments drive rapid uptake of AI
But AI is not a cure-all:
- Whether a business succeeds at implementing AI depends on distribution, virality, personalization, cost efficiency, and user experience.
- Startups jumping onto the AI ship must watch incumbents adding AI features (e.g., Amazon’s Rufus, Expedia’s AI planner).

AI is becoming the new search engine for consumers, triggering an explosion of AI-powered apps across all areas of life especially in India and Southeast Asia, reshaping how people discover and purchase online.
A Quantum Leap for AI in Singapore Businesses
New global data shows AI is not just shifting tasks, but introducing fresh job categories.
Singapore companies are increasingly turning to AI to streamline operations and improve accuracy across industries. From hotels automating invoice approvals to law firms accelerating contract turnaround, AI solutions are transforming time-consuming workflows into efficient, high-value processes.
Supported by government grants and advisory services under the National AI Strategy 2.0, SMEs can now adopt AI with less risk and investment. Initiatives such as the Enterprise Compute Initiative (See how you can get a 60-second ECI Consult for your business here!) provide financial and technical support, helping companies assess digital readiness and implement AI effectively.

Singapore’s AI ecosystem, bolstered by government support and accessible technologies, is empowering businesses of all sizes to turn digital potential into measurable results.
A Quantum Leap for AI in Singapore Businesses
The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) is enhancing its Digital Leaders Programme (DLP) to help 2,000 digitally mature enterprises harness AI over the next three years to capture new growth opportunities.
It has a three-pronged approach:
- Workshops and playbooks to leverage AI strategically.
- Expert guidance for impactful AI project design and delivery.
- Funding support to hire in-house digital teams and scale AI initiatives.

With structured support, funding, and expert guidance, Singapore is empowering enterprises to turn digital ambition into measurable outcomes, positioning itself as a global hub for AI-driven innovation. Companies are ramping up upskilling. You'll need skills and flexibility to keep up with the workforce.
Amazon Launches Agentic AI to Support Third-Party Sellers
Amazon has enhanced its Seller Assistant with agentic AI capabilities, allowing the tool to act on behalf of third-party merchants with their permission.
This goes beyond answering queries. AI can now coordinate inventory, manage business growth plans, and implement account fixes, freeing sellers to focus on product innovation and customer relationships.
1.3 million sellers have already used Amazon’s generative AI listing tools, which can produce about 70% of a product listing.
Amazon sees agentic AI as a way to streamline seller operations while improving efficiency and reducing costly mistakes. An advantage of agentic AI is that it can perform multi-step tasks, reducing reliance on hiring external experts for pricing, promotions, and supply chain management.

AI is moving from assistance to autonomy. Tools like Amazon’s Seller Assistant show how agentic AI can become a virtual operations team for small and medium businesses.
Storage.AI and OCP Work to Power Efficient AI Workflows
At the 2025 SNIA Storage Developers Conference (SDC), industry leaders discussed initiatives to optimize storage for AI workloads, reduce energy consumption, and improve data flow.
The Storage.AI Initiative is a vendor-neutral, open-standards effort to tackle AI data challenges like memory tiering, latency, data movement, and compute-near-storage to achieve standardized hardware/software interfaces, open programming models, and efficient, secure AI data handling.
Recent developments include telemetry tools, latency monitoring, open-source command-line interfaces, and device self-testing for large-scale data center deployments.
Future semiconductor packaging, including chiplets and stacked die architectures, could replace volatile memory (DRAM) with non-volatile options, lowering AI data center energy consumption.

Basically, AI is generating too much information. Storage.AI and OCP efforts aim to streamline AI workflows, improve efficiency, and reduce power usage; critical for scaling AI in hyperscale data centers.

New OECD guidelines set the pace for organizational AI governance
AI is transforming public service globally, with the potential to automate repetitive tasks, improve decision-making, enhance fraud detection, and elevate the quality of work for civil servants.
For example, in the UK, AI could automate 84% of repetitive public service transactions, saving over 1,200 person-years of work annually.
- AI is most prevalent in public services, justice, and civic participation, less so in policy evaluation, tax, and civil service reform.
- Most government AI applications focus on streamlining processes, better decision-making, and anomaly detection, while generative AI (GenAI) is still emerging.
- Risks include bias, misuse, lack of transparency, workforce displacement, and digital divides, highlighting the need for governance and safeguards. Implementation challenges involve skills gaps, data quality, legacy systems, financial costs, and pilot-stage limitations.
How Can the Government Ensure Trustworthy AI Use?
- Enablers: Governance, data infrastructure, skills, funding, agile procurement, and partnerships.
- Guardrails: Policies, guidance, transparency, accountability, and oversight.
- Engagement: Involving citizens, civil society, and businesses in AI design and deployment.
OpenAI New Release: Practical Guide for Identifying and Scaling AI
In 2 years, 39% of U.S. adults have used AI, outpacing the early internet.
Companies leading in AI see faster revenue growth, higher shareholder returns, and stronger ROI, yet only 1% feel their AI initiatives are fully mature.
How to Unlock AI Value in Your Organization?
- Identify Opportunities: Focus on repetitive tasks, skill bottlenecks, and ambiguous challenges where AI can act as a super-assistant.
- Teach the Six Primitives: Train teams on fundamental AI use cases—Content Creation, Research, Coding, Data Analysis, Ideation/Strategy, and Automations—to quickly spot high-impact opportunities.
- Map Workflows: Move beyond individual tasks to multi-step workflows, embedding AI from start to finish to maximize efficiency.
4 Real-world examples (Companies You Definitely Know!):
- Promega: Saved 135 hours in six months using AI for marketing content.
- Poshmark: Automated spreadsheet reconciliation and reporting, freeing teams for strategic work.
- Tinder: Boosted coding efficiency with AI for specialized scripting languages.
- Estée Lauder: Built a repeatable GPT Lab process to design, test, and scale AI applications across teams.

Companies need to fully leverage AI to keep up with the changing industry landscape. Start as soon as possible and upskill employees to be AI savvy.
How Organizations Should Adapt to the Changing Industry Landscape
Organizations should adopt AI as a productivity enhancer rather than just a replacement, upskilling staff and redesigning workflows to integrate AI effectively. Focus on developing skills in prompt engineering, and strategic tasks that AI cannot easily replicate.
