**Building a Streamlit UI for Your LangGraph Customer Service Agent** In a previous article, I walked through how to build a LangGraph-based AI agent to automate a 15-minute customer service booking session. That version ran in a terminal-based CLI, which was great for testing logic but not ideal for a customer-facing experience. In this article, we evolve that project by building a clean, interactive Streamlit user interface on top of the existing LangGraph agent. This allows us to present a polished UI while keeping the agent logic separate and reusable. — ### User Interface for the Agent Streamlit differs from…

**Webmail Security Breaches: When Email Content Breaks Boundaries** *By Swati Khandelwal, August 8, 2026* *Tags: Email Security / Vulnerability* — A new frontier in webmail exploitation has been revealed by PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes, whose presentation at Black Hat USA 2026 details how malicious content embedded within an email can escape its designated boundary and manipulate the very interface of the webmail service itself. Moving beyond traditional phishing, this research demonstrates that by abusing allowed HTML and CSS features, attackers can hijack trusted user interfaces, steal credentials, and compromise linked AI tools. The scope of this research is vast, with…

**Crypto’s Evolution From “Get Rich Quick” to Real-World Utility** The cryptocurrency industry has long been associated with volatility, speculation, and promises of overnight wealth. However, according to Alex Svanevik, founder and CEO of blockchain analytics firm Nansen, crypto is finally shaking off its “get rich quick” reputation that has defined the industry for more than a decade—not just because profits are scarce, but because the sector is maturing into something more substantial. In a recent interview on the Trade Secrets show, Svanevik explained that crypto assets have been in a “toy world” era of blockchains, but the industry is now…

**Shepherd: Replaying Agent Runs from a Commit, Not a Transcript** Long-running agents accumulate state that no transcript captures. A coding agent at step 10 holds edited files, a running dev server, installed packages, and a warm prompt cache. When it misreads a traceback and rewrites a file that was already correct, neither available recovery path is cheap: patching forward grows the context and the token bill, and restarting from step one re-pays every model and tool call while reproducing nothing exactly, because runs are non-deterministic. Jumping back to step eight is the option engineers actually want, and it is the…
