If you're familiar with the Eisenhower matrix you'll be familiar with businesses and customer research - they simply don't know what they don't know! But thanks to two crucial AI research studies, we're learning things about people that can help us all understand ourselves better.

The past few weeks in AI have shattered my brain into a billion fragments of wonder. We've even found a new way to do AI, beyond transformers - that could change even what's been the most changeful week in the history of modern artificial intelligence. But for now, since it's Christmas, let's switch the light on - not the bulb, but the lightness rather than all the stuff that's gonna melt our mind...

You've heard the pandemonium all about Google launching its fastest and smartest frontier model yet. But what does it mean for your business? And what about Devin - the grown-up AI copilot for your engineering teams, which also launched this week to rapturous applause from anyone seeking speedier shipping and warp-speed progress through product roadmaps... Your boy's joining our smart silicon sand...

Finally - an overdue appearance from AI Today creator, Dave Thackeray! What a year it's been. And it's just the beginning. Join me taking a look at 2024 and the indisputable delights and miracles coming our way from January...

The last barrier to enterprise adoption of AI was memory. Baking into every prompt what the algorithm needed to know, was enough to send business leaders scurrying for the Luddite hills. But now Google (with Gemini and DeepMind's Mustafa Suleyman) and Microsoft are promising AI with memory. This will change so much about how we use AI - and make things so much more effective, and efficient. Let's...

Understanding human behaviour is critical to business success. Behavioural science informs every growth stage and product decision - yet so few businesses pay any attention to human behaviour and psychology. This new development makes a hugely insightful and practical corpus of psychological and behavioural data useful for everyone.

Tired of research and development (R&D) bottlenecks? Today's episode of AI Today explores how AI can supercharge product development by rapidly uncovering game-changing insights from mountains of data and even suggesting testable solutions, accelerating the journey from idea to market. Discover how AI tools are democratising access to powerful insights, potentially levelling the playing field...

I've tested 20 AI coding editors. My tech skills are basic, at best. None turned my ideas into apps. That's when I found Databutton. And now I'm an app developer. Listen in to find out how Databutton has given the world's 8 billion inventors a chance to bring their ideas to life...

Here at AI Today, we know how to listen. We spent hours analysing Lenny Rachitsky - host of Lenny's Podcast - interviewing pro prompt engineer Mike Taylor to bring you this deep dive into all the techniques, tools, and tactics to rock your business. Enjoy this special edition of a very special show...

Botto's 15,000 curators are celebrating a big win this week after six of their carefully-chosen, pixel-pushed masterpieces, sold for more than $350,000 at a Sotheby's auction in New York. It's a story that belongs in a museum. Just when we thought it was safe to come out after NFTs' baffling popularity flare-up of the very early 20s, we're here again. At least Beeple created his own art...

Imagine if you had massive balls - crystal ones - to accurately forecast future business needs. That's one of the thousands of ways autonomous agents - popularised in organisations of all sizes through Microsoft Copilot Studio - can build better businesses. These agents can send reports to your senior leadership team identifying inefficiencies or opportunities across the organisation. Then the HR...

Retrieval augmented generation is how we used to chunk content in huge corpuses of data. Now there's a new sheriff in town - contextual retrieval preprocessing, or contextual RAG. No more relying on keywords; now we're talking hidden relationships between data, which means you can better respond to context inside queries. This isn't just about finding information faster, it's about understanding t...

Let's take a look at how the latest version of Copilot can change the game for your business. Imagine a manufacturing company developing a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station. This complex process involves multiple steps and teams, using various applications and datasets. Market research: Copilot can analyse large datasets and generate visualisations to quickly identify key insights by anal...

If there's anyone left in the world yet to be convinced AI is changing it, have a chat with Meng To (@mengto on X). He just wrapped up Dreamcut.ai - what he calls his perfect video editor - after spending three months writing 50,000 lines of code with Anthropic's Claude AI. The application is incredible. As is Meng's generosity - he's giving away the codebase. Enjoy this deep dive into the amazing...

Forget everything you thought you knew about AI assistants. We're not talking simple chatbots that can barely string a sentence together. Claude 3.5 Sonnet , the latest iteration of Anthropic's groundbreaking language model, can actually use computers like a human . It can see the screen, move the mouse, click, type, and even navigate complex software. Think about that for a second. An AI that can...

Engineering teams are frazzled. And we've all been down the Cursor, Aider, Cline, Bolt, and Replit rabbit roles questing for AI coding nirvana. But there are more potholes in the process than a worn-out highway. Enter Solver - self-proclaimed level 4 FSD for coding. Let's take this one for a spin...

Now anyone can know what everyone is doing in real time! xAI's API gives you access to the 560Gb of data generated every day by the millions of users on X, formerly Twitter. There are some fantastic opportunities to integrate this unique and ever-changing dataset into your applications. And you've never before had access at scale to the thoughts and behaviours of your current and future customers....

Business is a spider's web of complex processes. And up until now, it's been super hard to get AI working on multi-task processes, without some PhD-level hacking which, unless you're using open source, locally-hosted LLMs, could come unstuck at any time. Agora solves this. It suggests a rational approach to agentic AI by connecting the bots through a single communication protocol. In turn, busines...

Efficiency. Productivity. Growth. That's why we're here. And on today's show, we're hitting all three with the force of a bullet train. 3 AI experts share how they create the best results, in three totally different ways. This is a listen that you can't afford to miss. Enjoy the show! How product manager Tal Raviv saves a ton of time and generates incredible insights: https://creatoreconomy.so/p/h...

AI's made its name in the digital space. But thanks to Archetype AI, it's broken away from its silicon prison to learn about our physical world. Archetype's Newton, a Large Behaviour Model, is currently crunching data from sensors like cameras and radars to create a unified representation of the physical environment. This allows for real-time insights and predictions, enabling applications such as...

Imagine a world where a doctor, armed with an AI-powered assistant, can diagnose diseases like pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially saving thousands of lives annually. This isn't science fiction; it's the reality Microsoft is building through its AI for Health program. This program, like a master conductor, is orchestrating an AI symphony with tools like cutting-edge imaging analytics, allowing...

Imagine your marketing team brainstorming hundreds of genuinely inspired ideas in seconds . That's the potential of Thought Preference Optimisation (TPO), a new AI technology from Meta . TPO is like giving your AI a brain. Unlike standard AI, which rushes to spit out the first answer, TPO takes time to 'think' things through. It generates internal thoughts, invisible to you, and uses them to refin...

Former Deloitte consultant Varun Kulkarni spent 8 months honing his application strategy to score a huge payday as a senior AI product manager gig with Cisco. On today's show we explore how he did it - so you can, too...

AI is a paradigm shift for thinking and understanding. Our old frameworks and models are being challenged into obscurity by a new way of looking at the world. And even the things we used to think of as a human-centred endeavour - inventing previously inconceivable things to change lives - can now be generated by our digital colleagues. Today's show is designed to be challenging; stick around to ha...
