Bitrix24 Introduces Cowork/Code AI Agent for Corporate Task Automation and App Building
Bitrix24 has released Cowork/Code, an AI application designed to let employees build working tools without programming experience while keeping data and code inside a managed corporate system.
The service installs on a computer and merges file handling, company data, and app development. An internal AI agent can carry out sequences of actions such as searching records, matching documents, building tables, and storing outputs in designated folders.
When a company already uses Bitrix24 for sales, tasks, and communication, the agent can generate summaries of overdue items or inactive deals, send chat messages, create tasks, or schedule meetings after requesting confirmation for any data changes.
Two operating modes
Cowork mode handles everyday work by comparing documents, preparing reports, and retrieving information within existing permissions. Code mode produces reusable applications such as department dashboards or notification bots that multiple employees can run repeatedly.
Users can start with familiar manual tasks to test the agent. Examples include comparing two contract versions and listing changes with links to specific clauses, compiling weekly sales figures by manager, or turning meeting notes into structured tables of requirements and deadlines.
Radiant memory feature
The Radiant memory system retains details from chats, calls, meetings, tasks, and employee records. This context allows the agent to answer requests such as analyzing team workload or creating a psychological profile of interactions without the user repeating background information each time.
Applications created in Code mode can be kept private, shared with selected colleagues, or published to a company catalog. Distribution occurs through Bitrix24 VibeCode on protected servers located in Russian infrastructure.
A free tier activates automatically and supplies five percent of Pro-level capacity. Once the quota is reached, requests pause until the limit resets or a paid plan is selected.

Klark and Klara Launch Self-Hosted Corporate Messenger and Task Manager for On-Premise Data Control
Klark and Klara are two integrated products designed to keep corporate communication and task management entirely within company infrastructure. Klark functions as a Telegram-like messenger with personal chats, supergroups, channels, voice messages, file sharing, and video calls powered by LiveKit. Klara serves as a streamlined task and knowledge base system replacing complex setups like Jira and Confluence. Both run via Docker Compose on customer servers using PostgreSQL, Redis, FastAPI, and React, with built-in antivirus scanning via ClamAV. Key security measures include mandatory TOTP two-factor authentication, LDAP integration, content security policies, and automatic session invalidation on token reuse. The combination allows direct task creation from chat messages and displays tasks alongside conversations in a unified interface.
Russia's Taxi Market Overrun by Illegal Drivers Using Fake Accounts and Gray Intermediaries
Russian taxi aggregators are increasingly relying on complex chains of intermediaries that allow drivers without proper licenses, experience, or even Russian permits to operate. These gray schemes involve dispatch services, car fleets, individual entrepreneurs, and so-called podklyuchashki that sell ready-made accounts for 3-7 thousand rubles after minimal verification. A high-profile incident in Odintsovo exposed how a driver refusing service to a disabled veteran of the special military operation was later deported, revealing a corporate maze where the vehicle, the connecting IP, and the driver had no direct link to the aggregator. Official data shows over 900,000 vehicles registered in the FGIS Taxi system, yet more than 1.5 million drivers may be operating outside legal requirements. With Russians taking around 10 million taxi trips daily, the lack of accountability has contributed to over 3,100 accidents involving taxis in 2025, resulting in 143 deaths and more than 3,800 injuries. Courts remain inconsistent in assigning liability across aggregators, fleets, and individual drivers. Experts are calling for aggregators to be designated as carriers with mandatory checks and joint liability.
Russians Offered Unofficial 5G Activation on iPhone for 399 Rubles with No Guarantees
A Russian service called 5G First is selling a tool that removes Apple's 5G restrictions on iPhones for 399 rubles without requiring a jailbreak. The method works by modifying carrier profile settings that control which network features are permitted for a given SIM card. A free alternative named CarrierSIM achieves the same result by forcing the device to adopt the Vodafone Hungary carrier profile where 5G is already enabled. Both solutions are described as experimental, depend on specific iOS versions, operators and SIM cards, and offer no assurance they will survive future system updates. The Ministry of Digital Development is already in discussions with Apple about enabling 5G officially on Russian iPhones. Successful activation of the 5G menu option does not create network coverage where Russian operators have not yet deployed it.
CryptoLab: Interactive Educational Platform Turns Cryptographic Protocols Course into Hands-On Alice, Bob and Mallory Experiments
A university instructor developed CryptoLab, an educational testbed that lets students run live cryptographic protocol experiments with active attackers instead of simple encrypt-decrypt exercises. The platform models the classic Alice-Mallory-Bob scenario where each participant runs as a separate application mode, allowing inspection, modification, dropping, and replay of packets. The first lab focuses on AES-GCM, AEAD properties, nonce reuse, replay protection, weak RNGs, key rotation, and metadata leakage. Students can operate in interactive mode to manually attack traffic or execute automated scenarios that verify expected security outcomes. Experiments demonstrate that modifying ciphertext triggers authentication failure and that a valid authentication tag does not guarantee message freshness without additional replay defenses. The tool also includes Python 3.10 assignments for correctly using cryptographic primitives rather than implementing algorithms from scratch. CryptoLab currently supports Windows x64 and macOS Apple Silicon builds and serves as the foundation for upcoming labs on symmetric encryption modes, asymmetric cryptography, key exchange, and TLS.
