Open-source AI coding tool Roo Code will end its VS Code extension, cloud and router services on May 15 and shift toward an autonomous agent that works outside an integrated development environment. It has unveiled a cloud-based coding agent, Roomote, that connects with tools such as Slack, GitHub and Linear to handle tasks end-to-end and generate pull requests and changes for developers to review. CEO Matt Rubens said agents could eliminate certain types of work.

South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency will accept applications until May 15 to designate excellent information security technologies, products and services, aiming to strengthen competitiveness and spur the market. The programme, launched in 2018, evaluates novelty, originality and commercialisation potential. Any venture company operating in information security can apply. Up to 12 companies will be designated based on the evaluation results.
