Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

Agents are getting more powerful by the day.  And most workflows, outputs and human capabilities can't keep up.  Is that a problem or opportunity?  Before you answer that question, though, keep this in mind.  Agents are *literally* about to become 20X faster overnight.  Let's unpack what that means.  Ep 881: Faster AI Agents, Fewer Human Coworkers: The Overly Productive Future of Managin...

Not only does NotebookLM have a new name, it's got a new game.  Gemini Notebook is agentic by default, can think and reason, and can output files now in just about any format.  On this week's AI at Work on Wednesday, we show you the 7 New Updates in the new Gemini Notebook, how they work, and how you should use them.  Ep 880: Gemini Notebook: 7 New Updates and What They Unlock (Replay) ...

OpenAI launched Presence, and it seems like no one really noticed.  They should have. Presence gives companies a way to build and manage real-time AI voice and chat agents across customer service, sales, HR, and IT, which could make this one of OpenAI’s most important enterprise launches yet. The technology finally looks fast, natural, and capable enough to disrupt customer service at scale.  That...

What's coming next in AI? 🤔 While no one knows, spending time in Silicon Valley and San Francisco recently helped give me a better idea of what's around the corner.  So what should you be paying attention to?  Tune in LIVE as we discuss.  Ep 878: What’s Coming Next: 5 AI Trends, Problems and Opportunities around the Corner (Replay)  Newsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletter More...

People are calling the new ChatGPT Voice their “AGI moment.” 🤖 After testing it over the past week, I understand why. It seems like the missing link between the ever-capable desktop agent and the human worker not having to type in front of said desktop all day.  It’s less like “voice mode” and more like having your own JARVIS. After testing thousands of AI tools, this has instantly become one of...

You've probably never heard of Inkling.  It's the newest (and first) model from Thinking Machines Labs, and it could very well be a small snowball that picks up major momentum in today's enterprise AI landscape.  If you haven’t heard of Thinking Machines, they’re led by Mira Murati, the former CTO at OpenAI.  The big bet with Inkling?  The future of AI could be using smaller models...

Intelligence too cheap to meter -- could that actually be coming? 🤑 Maybe, and you mighta missed one of the biggest signs.   OpenAI said that its own model improved itself after release so well, that it was cutting prices to one model by 80%.  What's that mean?  Well, by definition, it's a broad example of Recursive Self Improvement, or when a model starts building better versions of it...

Scheduled tasks are a secret weapon. ⚔️ How secret?  They can actually be hard to find and there's not a lot of info out there on how to use them. lolz.  But for many, they can be the stepping stone to the fully autonomous desktop worker. Because for many users who may only be able (or comfortable) to access AI on the web, scheduled tasks provide that proactive, work-done-for-you vibe that AI...

The next 12 months of AI leaked.  Kinda.  For the past 90ish days, we've been quietly collecting evidence of what's next. 1,030 saved posts. 90 Podcasts. Countless conversations. Every model drop, every leak, every quiet product update the big labs hoped you'd scroll past. Then we connected the dots. What came out the other side: 19 calls on where AI goes over the next 12 months. An...

AI’s all-you-can-eat era is ending. 🍲 For years, one subscription felt like unlimited access to frontier models. But that business model for the AI labs apparently breaks when agents can now run for days, use tools, retry work and burn through tokens. And with Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 model exiting subscription tiers today and moving to API only pricing, it's as imperative of a time...

Talking about prompts and chatbots won't help you talk about AI strategy in 2026.  You've gotta know the ins and outs of loops, plans, goals, subagents and more.  In this episode of Everyday AI, we're breaking down the agent lingo and how the key terms play out in systems like Codex and Claude Desktop.  Desktop Agent Lingo Simplified: Goals, Loops, Plans, Subagents and how it works...

Is the open model GLM-5.2 really Opus 4.8 level? 🤯 You mighta missed this, but over the past few weeks, three distinct forces have all converged at one:  ↳ Chinese open models are near frontier SOTA ↳ Microsoft is reportedly considering open models to run Copilot ↳ Enterprises everywhere are talking token efficiency as AI costs soar So while many are watching GLM-5.2 as an isolated model, it&apos...

Ready for the AI buzzword for the rest of 2026?  Superapps.  No, not China’s WeChat.  The AI Superapp era is much different, and it’s about to hit the business world hard. So, if you aren’t sure what an AI Superapp is or if your company should be using one, this is an episode you can’t miss.  AI SuperApps: Why Every Company is Racing to Create One and What They are — An Everyday AI Chat with Jorda...

More tokens = more ROI, right? 🤔 Maybe.  But probably not.  Maybe one of the weirdest AI trends that has oddly stuck in 2026 is tokenmaxxing -- the practice of individuals and companies racing to use as many AI tokens as possible and equating it with business progress.  Reality check: token efficiency is the real rage.  So, how do you measure token efficiency and how can your company avoid the co...

This is the Everyday AI episode we probably shoulda done a while ago.... 👇 Because as different as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and others actually are under the hood, they have really started to copycat each other over the past 6 months.  Which means we finally have a set of concrete best practices to get the best outputs from any LLM.  Join us as we boil thousands of hours of experience into a 30-is...

The most expensive AI mistake of 2026 won't show up on any invoice. 💸 It'll show up two years from now when you can't get your data out, your competitors are eating your lunch, or your team is stuck maintaining software no one actually wanted to build. Because in 2026, AI isn't one decision anymore. It's four. The model. The workflows. Your data. Your business software. E...

Until a few months ago, open source AI was kinda a hobby project.  Now, it's tearing corporate boardrooms apart.  Why?  Over the past 6ish months, the gap between frontier closed AI and open sourced AI has shrunk to pretty much nothing. And with the surge of always on agents driving open models, their development and release schedule is on pace with the frontier labs.  So if your team isn&apo...

Salesforce's cofounder essential questioned: why should you login to Salesforce anymore? 🤔 He wasn't signaling the AI-driven SaaSpocalypse was picking up steam.  Instead: he's talking about going headless.  What's that? It's a future where Salesforce -- any potentially many other household software giants -- stop making software interfaces for humans and start designing f...

Info hunting and juggling sound familiar?  It’s the downfall of almost any business leader. Where is that email from Emily? Why can’t I find last quarter’s budget in Drive? Oh, and Keenen needs an answer back on that research project. Oh shoot, I swear Caleb confirmed the expenses in one of these Slack channels.  You’re off an information rabbit hole and by the time you find that Slack message, yo...

You think proper AI implementation is a technical problem for your company to solve? 🤔 Wrong.  It’s actually about people.  Maybe it’s because of the fast-pace nature of AI, and the fact there’s literally dozens of new AI tech drops each week that promise to change how we work, but the defecto response to showing ROI on AI always defaults to the technical side.  Yet, studies show building an AI-n...

Even if you're 'doing AI right' you're probably lying, hurting others and getting dumb. 🤯 Sounds brash, but it's largely the truth.  Even proper AI use rewards speed, agility and scale. It doesn't emphasize thoughtful conversations, deep learning or thoughtful human conversation.  We call these the 7 Silent Sins of AI, and chances are you're committing many of t...

Would you show up to compete in a Formula One race in a bike? 🚴‍♂️ Like.... you could. But you'd get smoked.  Yet, that's the exact AI strategy that 99% of enterprises are going through when it comes to AI adoption.  And the studies prove that not-so-hot-take to be true. The capability gap between what today's frontier AI models can do and what enterprise companies actually use the...

Is Vibe Coding dying already?  Or, is will it be as essential to the next decade of work as the browser was for the past 20 years?  And how can your company balance the speed and innovation side of vibe coding without accidentally leaking data or building a product that breaks more often than it works?  We'll break down the basics on this Start Here Series deep(ish) dive into Vibe Coding.  Th...

Half of consumer question the authenticity of what they see online. 🤔 That's the reality of the business world that your company is blindly spraying a gajillion AI-generated artifacts into.  Sure, enterprises want to 'do the right thing' when it comes to ethical and responsible AI.  But it's easier said than done when the tech is outpacing the guardrails.  Don't worry, we...

Most people are either using too many AI tools or not enough.  The real problem?  Not understanding the categories and capabilities of the main AI tools that matter. And with constant updates, it's pretty much impossible to get a decent lay of the AI land.  We're changing that with this episode: From Chatbots to Super Agents: The 11 AI Tool Categories Explained -- An Everyday AI Chat Wit...
