Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Everyday AI show, the Everyday Podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life. Even though we still don't have a new frontier model from Google, well, they kind of went on a small tear this week in terms of new and helpful AI updates we can actually use today. I mean, their Spark agent now lives inside of Chrome. Google Docs got a huge AI glow up, and their new music model is pretty impressive. But Google drops weren't the only new AI updates we got this week. We got helpful updates from Chad GPT and Chrome and Codex, a new vibe design contender, and a new Slack-like platform that's mainly for directing agents from all providers.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Yeah, you can't stop following the AI updates. I know this week was full of drama open. source and, you know, is the government going to slow things down? You know, people from the big companies saying maybe we should slow down, but here's the reality. You can't because these new updates are rolling out. And sometimes we think it's just the big new AI models that change how we work. I beg the opposite. A lot of times it's these smaller AI features that you might miss that might actually have the biggest impact. And that's why we do our Friday features show, where we tell you the best new AI features you can actually use today.
Starting point is 00:01:35 These aren't wait lists. These aren't leaks. These are coming soon. This is like, hey, hit pause on this podcast. Go log in and let's learn about it together. So on today's show, here's what you're going to learn. You're going to know why Google is making AI noise in your browser docs and ears. You're going to know the new chatGBT browser magic you can cook up.
Starting point is 00:01:55 And you're going to know the new Slack like platform that's made for your agents to work. together, but with you directing them. All right, let's get into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. My name's Jordan Wilson and well, this thing's for you. It's your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me, not just keep up with AI, but how you can all actually get ahead to grow your company and your career. So if that's what you're trying to do, make sure to subscribe to the podcast, but also check out today's newsletter. We're going to be recapping the highlights from today's show as well as giving you the 101 of everything you need to know that's going on in AI world. All right. So let's get straight into it a lot to cover today
Starting point is 00:02:37 in our Friday features segment. First, a new contender in the vibe design arena. And it's from Replit. So Replit launched their Replit design. And here's what's new. It is a full creative suite that's replacing canvas where the tool keeps offering you design variation. as you work instead of waiting to be prompted. So it is directly built in, sorry, Mobin is directly built in, which is a reference library of 600,000 real app screens that normally require its own paid subscription. So you can upload a design system once and everything you make just snaps to your brand.
Starting point is 00:03:21 So this is, if you have a paid Replit account, you don't have to pay anything extra. and it's actually free for every user with no tier gate announced, which is kind of unusual for something this model heavy right now. Also, that mob and access requires no separate account and no additional costs. So here's kind of why it matters and who should care. Well, I mean, I think the target here is kind of the handoff, not like the drawing. So Replit is better at, you know, they're kind of betting that the export and rebuild step between design and engineering kind of disappears,
Starting point is 00:03:58 and that's a direct shot at where Figma sits in the workflow. So they're just giving away also a paid reference library for free. That's a distribution play. And the quieter implication here, though, is the org design. So like when a project manager can produce something that's publishable, the question of who makes the first version stops being so obvious. So who should care? Well, founders, project managers who are shipping without a designer on staff?
Starting point is 00:04:24 This is big, right? So I do think at least for Replit, this is one of the bigger missing pieces, right? Obviously, Replit is kind of a full stack vibe coding app. But the design piece left something to be desired. A lot of times you had to use a separate product and bring it all into Replit. So here is what Replit says about the new Replit design. They said today we're launching Replit Design, a new creative suite where anyone can can shape what they see as fast as they can think.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Replit design is the fastest way to go from idea to design. Ambient intelligence guides and inspires you at every step. Because everything lives on Replit, there are no handoffs, exports, or rebuilds that cause you to lose the beauty of what you created. You don't need to be a designer. You just need to know what you want to bring to life. Create with your choice of the world's leading bottles for design, including Claude, GPD5, Gemini, Kimmy, and G. So I do hope that something like this becomes the status quo in Claude, Codex, everything else, because it's actually really cool.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So a lot of times, right, the way I like to start kind of vibe projects is first, I find inspiration. And then I'll usually upload that inspiration into either Claude Design or I love Google Google's Stitch. My gosh, like I speak so much AI and use so many. Yeah, is it Stitch or is it now I'm going to have to look it up. It's like, oh, I only use this like all the time. Yeah, Google Stitch. Absolutely fantastic. Love Google Stitch. You know, it just kind of gives you entire mockups. And, you know, it's powered by Nano Banana. And I also use GPT Image 2. So images too. So I usually start and it is usually kind of a multi-step process for me. So if you are already a heavy replet user and you just haven't liked the visuals of what you've been able to get with replet, I think the new replet design is obviously a no-brainer. It's obviously not an additional cost. You know, with the mob and library, it's a pretty good kind of no-brainer setup. All right. Our next one, a small one for chat GPT, but at least for me, I'm like, okay, I'm going to be using this all the
Starting point is 00:06:54 time. So this is an update to the chat GPT Chrome extension. So the Chrome extension now answers questions about any YouTube video, right? That's one thing I obviously do a lot of is watching YouTube videos in 2x or in 2.5x. I get a Chrome extension to make you go even faster. So that's great. You know, that's one of the main reasons that I would still use the Ask Gemini tab inside of Google Chrome is just to quickly recap YouTube videos. So that is now in the chat GPT Chrome extension, which is new, right? It is completely new as of like three weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Also, you have the opportunity to now mention open tabs or pull highlighted text straight into the side chat. So if you don't, if you kind of missed the new chat, GBT Chrome extension, it's really good. So the new version of this came out kind of alongside GPD 5.6 and chat GPT work, kind of the super app. But essentially, in what I love, is it's completely different than the old chat GPT Chrome extension. It has all of your conversations that are there. So that's something I love, even though I am using the built in browser a ton in, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:16 chat GBT work slash codex. it's actually usually pretty busy, if that makes sense. Like I sometimes have like dozens or hundreds of automations a week that are using the browser inside of chat GPT work slash codex. So sometimes because of that and I'm like, okay, I'm really just straight up abusing codex chat GPT. I'll still use Chrome for that reason, right? It's like I don't want to throw anything off. I'm just going to let, you know, essentially my agents, that's their browser. and I still use Chrome a lot.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So I do love the new chat Chiquity extension, and these new features are really cool. So Chachybtee can obviously search your browsing history so you can ask it to find the page that you read Tuesday instead of hunting for it. So who has access to this right now? So any desktop app users who obviously have the most up-to-date build, but the tab and YouTube features do require the Chrome extension specifically.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So there's no plan tier restrictions. for these. So yeah, you don't even have to be on a certain paid plan. So why does this matter? Well, I think this is the kind of the assistant moving from a place you go to a layer that sits on top of what you're already doing. So it's a different product category than a chatbot. Even for someone like me, right, my codex is open at all times. I love the new Chrome extension, right? Even just being able to watch in real time, like, hey, what is? is my, you know, where is my codex this thread I'm at? That's maybe an important thread that I'm watching to just be able to click a button and see it without having to change, right,
Starting point is 00:09:57 especially when I'm on my laptop, you know, without having to, you know, kind of switch the flow of where I'm at. I think it's actually super help. Are you still running in circles trying to figure out how to actually grow your business with AI? Maybe your company has been tinkering with large language models for a year or more, but can't really get traction to find ROI on Gen. A.I. Hey, this is Jordan Wilson, host of this very podcast. Companies like Adobe, Microsoft, and Nvidia have partnered with us because they trust our
Starting point is 00:10:31 expertise in educating the masses around generative AI to get ahead. And some of the most innovative companies in the country hire us to help with their AI strategy and to train hundreds of their employees on how to use Gen A.I. So whether you're looking for chat GPT training for thousands or just need help building your front end AI strategy, you can partner with us too, just like some of the biggest companies in the world do. Go to your everyday AI.com slash partner to get in contact with our team.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Or you can just click on the partner section of our website. We'll help you stop running in those AI circles and help get your team ahead and build a straight path to ROI on Gen. So who is this going to impact? Well, I think anyone whose research happens across 20 tabs and, you know, especially if you're watching long form video. Those kind of things. So anyone that's a researcher, if you're a student, or if you're just doing heavy knowledge work inside Chrome, it's going to be something that I think is going to be extremely helpful.
Starting point is 00:11:36 So let's get to our next AI update. And well, this is meta. And meta is making that shift slowly but surely from an AI chatbot to, well, something a little bit more agentic. So here is what is new with meta's new AI tasks. So meta AI now runs recurring tasks and daily briefings instead of just answering questions or pulling from your calendar to flag conflicts and also summarize what's coming. So you can set something up once like a weekly, weekly plan or a restock alert or whatever, and it's just going to run without prompting.
Starting point is 00:12:16 So this is driven by the new Muse Spark 1.1, that is meta's agenic model built for tool use, essentially. So who has access to this right now? Well, it's in select markets only, so this isn't a global rollout. And it is just in the meta-a-i app and at meta.a-i. So, yeah, this isn't where in all the other platforms, right, WhatsApp, Instagram, all that stuff. So why does it matter? Who's going to use it?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Well, Meta has spent a year telling everyone it wasn't going to check. productivity tools, but it just kind of did. Right. But I think ultimately, you know, meta realized that this is what people want, right? People want to be able to set it and forget it, right? They want a gentic scheduling, right? This is for me, one thing I do every single day, right? I'm always looking to get things on a routine or a schedule, literally.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Like my first thing I do is, well, I check my overnight runs. you know, when I have my agents working third shift. So that's what I do in the morning. And then at least recently, right, I'm using chat, GBT voice and getting outside more, right? Like the weather is nice night right now in Chicago. So taking like more walks in the morning and just going through all my threads and making decisions right there with chat GBT voice.
Starting point is 00:13:38 But for the most part, if I'm not, if I'm prompting, I usually think there's a problem. Right. So if I am prompting, well, after I prompt and, you know, if I'm calling on multiple skills or whatever, I'm usually going to turn that into a skill or a plugin and then schedule that. So it is good to see meta here, you know, finally offering something in terms of scheduling. So meta's actual asset is, you know, it's personal context that nobody else has. You know, mainly your social graft.
Starting point is 00:14:11 So that's ultimately, I think, what's going to be their moat. And I think, you know, who's going to use meta AI? I'm not sure. right even when they you know came out with the new model had it for free and all these features it's like okay i go in there and they're like fine they're okay um but even i mean i don't know just with the amount of free uh that you get from chat chb t uh you know everyone else is cutting the subsidies a little bit right google used to be very generous not as generous anymore but still i don't know if you have a paid subscription i don't think you really necessarily need to use the new meta a
Starting point is 00:14:48 but let's at least talk about what's new. So here's what they said. You've been using meta AI to find answers, think through ideas, and create content. Now it can go further and actually get things done for you. MetaI can now make plans, follow through on next steps, and keep you on track without needing to be reminded or reprompt it. Tell me to tell MetaI you're renovating your kitchen,
Starting point is 00:15:10 and it will learn your style, scout marketplace for furniture and fixtures that fits your budget, and send you a mood board so you can see how it. all comes together. Ask it to help you build a running plan for your first half marathon and it will create a week by week training schedule, adjust for your availability, and share your plan for the week every Monday morning or ask it to plan a birthday dinner and it will find restaurants, check your calendar for a night that works and suggest options. All right. So pretty cool. Am I going to use it? No. But I don't know if you're a heavy Facebook user or if you don't have any paid subscriptions, maybe, right? The new Muse Spark 1.1 is actually a really good model.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And if you are, I don't know, maybe you're, you know, you work in social media marketing, advertising, so you're always using the meta platforms, then it might make sense. All right. Next. Yeah, now we're getting into the Google portion, three straight Google updates for everyone. So the first, a big Gemini, Google Gemini in Docs glow up. So Gemini can now generate and edit images, diagrams, and infographics inside of Google Docs, using what you've written as context. So it also works your comment threads,
Starting point is 00:16:25 summarizing them, drafting replies, leaving new comments for you, and rewriting sections based on review or feedback. So who has access to this right now? Well, you have to be on a paid plan. So either a workspace plan, standard or plus, or just an individual plus or AI Pro Ultra plan.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So image generation, though, is web only and the comic features require edit access to the document. The rollout is gradual, although it is already starting to roll out to those tiers. So why does it matter and who should care? Well, this is like the boring productivity win that actually produces ROI, right? Drafting was never really the bottleneck and document work, especially when we have like AI everywhere. It was more of like the review cycle and, you know, those 40 unresolved comments, right? That's where the project sometimes stalls.
Starting point is 00:17:22 So it's good to see that, you know, Gemini is starting to, you know, infuse more of its AI into Google Docs. I would say, you know, of all the Google products, I'm very heavy in Docs and Sheets. So I do think Sheets has been a little bit more ahead of the game in terms of how they've worked Gemini into the fold. I think Google Docs has been a little bit behind. So this is pretty, you know, a pretty. good update in my mind. So who should care? Who's going to use this? Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:53 especially if you are a heavy Google Docs organization, leaving a lot of comments, going through working with multiple versions of documents, that's going to be good. But I think one thing that could be good is people who are still just writing old school blog posts, right? And maybe you need visuals. You know, working in nanobanana into Google Docs, that's pretty nice, right? There was an AI tool I used to use a lot. called napkin. Right. So it's kind of like what I think of, right, where you can put in a bunch of text and, you know, make some visuals and, um, charts and graphics, right. So you can obviously do that with Google's nanobanata, but also images as well. So, you know, I think if you, um,
Starting point is 00:18:34 you know, really are comfortable in the Google Docs interface and you do need some of those other features. Well, now you don't have to do a bunch of copying and pasting and context switching. You can just get it all done in Google Docs. All right. Next, staying on the Google train, Choochoo. We have their new always on 24-7 agent Google Gemini Spark is now in Chrome. So Google's always on cloud agent Spark now plows into desktop Chrome. And if you do give it permission, it can use your logged in accounts and saved passwords. And that's the big thing right there, right?
Starting point is 00:19:14 Like that's one reason for me. I absolutely love the new codex slash chat. Youbt work update because it does integrate all your Chrome passwords. And that's huge in terms of what you can actually accomplish with an agentic browser or an agent that uses a browser, right? Because if you're, you know, your first go-to is always going to be using a direct integration or an MCP. But, you know, so many things at least that I use don't have a direct integration into, you know, know, Claude Code or chat GPT, and a lot of them don't even have an MCP. So then it's, well, give the agent your credentials if you trust them and if you're allowed to
Starting point is 00:19:56 and we'll have it do the work for you. So that's a pretty big update there from Google. So let's just talk. This is from their page. So they say today we are expanding Gemini Spark to more users around the world and adding a new feature to help you handle complex web errands. Here's a look at what's new. So they say handle web errands with Chrome auto browse.
Starting point is 00:20:22 So they say we're taking Spark's web browsing capabilities even further by integrating directly with Chrome. Now with your permission, Spark can use your logged in accounts and save passwords to handle tedious web errands like scheduling viewings for apartments, your saved or researching flight options and starting the booking process. This is all done while protecting against threats like prompt injections and keeping you in a loop on sensitive actions such as payments by handling by handing the task back to you. These capabilities are initially rolling out in the U.S. with plans to expand to additional regions in the future. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:21:00 So right now it is starting in the U.S. with paid plans. So yeah, if you're a heavy Chrome user and you have a lot of repetitive tasks, I don't know why. Right. All the big companies do this, right? People always show the demo. It's like, oh, you know, adding things to your Instacart app or, you know, booking tickets. I don't know for me, for those things that are ultimately requiring a transaction. I don't necessarily want to go agent on those, right? At least not to the point of adding my card. Maybe find me the five best trips. Sure, that's fine. But I don't know. For me, like, I think it'd be really cool if all the companies would stop. using, you know, personal errands, because this is actually a big, big step forward for Gemini in Chrome and the Spark agent. And like we talked about, I think it was either last week or the week before, right? So the Spark agent is now here, right, which is really cool. So before, it was only on the Ultra plan. So now if you have a paid Google Gemini plan, well, you have Gemini Spark, which is, you know, essentially their version of like an open,
Starting point is 00:22:12 claw or like a you know just an agent that lives in the browser right it's browser based not desktop based but i don't know for me i would have liked to see some more examples and use cases on using this for work but anyone that's drowning in scheduling booking comparison work right if you're in security or i t you know anyone comparing agendic browsers also right like if you are a heavy Chrome user or maybe you can only use Chrome, right? This is a great way to marry, you know, your Google data because that's the other thing. It can access and understand anything in your Google Drive, your Gmail, etc. And then use all of that information on the web, right? So yeah, things like filling out forms, right? That's something I would love to use something like this for,
Starting point is 00:23:03 and especially having it directly connected to all your Google data. All right. Our last Google one is Liria 3. So this is Google's new AI music maker. So yeah, if you know like Suno or Udeo, Liria now 3-5 is out in new from Google. So this is Google DeepMind's newest music model with what they say is better melodies, lyrics that follow the prompt, more expressive vocals and direct control over tempo and length. So vocal delivery is the specific target, which has been the thing that kind of gives AI music away. So who has access? Why does it matter?
Starting point is 00:23:45 Who should care? Well, it's available in flow music. All right. So I think I hope eventually they'll bring this to Gemini. You know, previously when they rolled out, I think, Liria 3, it was available in Gemini on launch day. So this time it's not. It's only in Google Flow music, which is actually a really cool program.
Starting point is 00:24:06 It's kind of like a vibe music, right? You just kind of chat with the chatbot and you can make iterative edits, which is really cool. So it's available in Flow Music. You do have to have a paid Gemini account to use it right now. And then also it has commercial use rights that ride on those paid tiers. So Google says it does not claim ownership of the original content that you generate. So the story here is licensing, not necessarily audio quality, because Suno and UDio are both in active Sony music litigation and Google trains, they say, on licensed data.
Starting point is 00:24:47 So this is the third, though, meaningful Leria release in like six months. That tells you that Google is treating AI music as an actual product line, not just something they're toying around with. So who should care? I mean, if you're a video team, a podcaster, right, a creative, you know, market or advertiser. The cool thing is that I didn't know is, well, the songs are like three minutes, right? And the songs are actually pretty. Yeah, okay, I won't say good.
Starting point is 00:25:21 The lyrics aren't good. All right. But you can, you know, use a different program to bring the lyrics. Before I started recording here, I tried, I don't know, five, six, seven songs. And like the cohesion was great, right? I was having it blend like two. extremely different music genres. And I'm like, okay, it actually did a really good job, right?
Starting point is 00:25:42 And the vocals were on beat. They were on point, even when I was throwing in these mixed genres. But sometimes I won't say the lyrics were nonsensical, but the lyrics were just lyrics, right? And I think Suno does a much better job. Like I said, obviously for any AI music platform, you can provide your own lyrics, but a lot of times you don't necessarily want to. you know, with a little bit of prompting, they get a little bit better. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:11 To me, the lyrics were still just kind of slop or slop-ish, right? Better than they were, but still not great. Although they sound really good, right? Like the different, you know, I tried out all kinds of different genres. Like, it sounds like good music. And then when you listen to the lyrics, you're like, this is a little sloppy. But overall, if you want to do your own. own lyrics and for whatever reason you need audio music generated for something.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Pretty good to check out. All right. Last but not least. And this is one aside from like mentioning it once in our newsletter. I haven't talked about this and I've actually been enjoying kind of toying around with this. It hasn't at least for me gotten, I don't think production ready yet, but it very well could be just because the company that's behind it.
Starting point is 00:27:05 So here's what's next. This is Buzz from Block, the parent company for Square. So this is kind of like a Slack lookalike that's built for teams to essentially talk with agents from any provider. All right. So, yeah, you can bring your whole team in both all your humans. So it is like Slack. It has channels and at mentioning and all those things. But essentially you can bring all your different agents in too.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And then you can, you know, like as an example, You know, just like you would on Slack or Microsoft Teams, you can, you know, put in, you know, you can bring in your skills, which is really cool. And then you can, you know, have, you know, as an example, codex start on one thing, hand it off to Claude. They go through, then they hand it off to, I don't know, an open source model, have them work, collaborate, talk amongst themselves. So the thing here, it's really nice. I don't know if I'll actually use it. And here's why. maybe it's more of like, I've spent so much time getting this very thing set up in codex, right?
Starting point is 00:28:10 I use like I've created bridges, you know, from codex to Claude and vice versa to other, you know, other model providers. So at least for me, I'm usually working with multiple model providers in Codex or Claude Code. But I mean, I still have been having fun experimenting with Buzz. It is an open source project. So it is, you know, every point. participant, whether it's a human or an agent, they get their own cryptographic identity, which means that every message, code change, and approval kind of leaves a signed trail. So agents join as members with scoped permissions.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So that's important, not as bots like waiting on a slash command. So it's free and open source under Apache 2.0. So you can use Block's hosted version. You can download the desktop app or you can self-host it entirely. I do believe they also just came out. with an iOS version and an Android version. So there's mobile support. And out of the box, it works well with Cloud Code, Codex, and Blocks Agent as well.
Starting point is 00:29:16 But there's different ways I think you can use like through OpenRouter that essentially you can bring any model in. So I think this is like an answer to kind of not an answer, but a potential answer to agent governance for smaller teams at the infrastructure layer rather than at the policy layer. And like that distinction's kind of like the whole point. Because most companies can't just tell you which actions and their logs came from a person and which ones came from an agent. So this one is kind of like leaving that agentic agent trail, right? It's leaving saying, hey, these agents did this.
Starting point is 00:29:51 The human said this. Right. So obviously if you're using like Microsoft co-pilot, I think they're actually kind of a leader in the space in terms of that kind of large teams. working with a lot of co-pallots and being able to trace, you know, whether it's through intra-D or something else, being able to trace every single thing. I think some of the other players have a little bit more to keep up on. So it's nice that a new open source platform like that has that built in
Starting point is 00:30:19 and as a core feature. So here is what Buzz says. So technically Block says about Buzz. So Block said today we're releasing Buzz, a free open source collaboration platform where humans and AI agents work together in a shared workspace. It's available now at buzz.xyz. Over the past two years, we've built and open source a series of AI tools at Block. Through all of it, we've come to the realization that the most productive work doesn't happen when someone asks AI for help.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It happens when humans and agents are in the same room, working on the same thing with shared context. There was no platform designed for that, so we built one. So it's, I think, right, it's open source. If you already have like someone like me or larger teams that they're generally using a lot of different subscriptions and you have different skills or preferences of using certain models for certain purposes, I think it is worth exploring to see if it can maybe be a stopgap. I think eventually, I think we're going to see this type of interaction probably in Codex first. And I would assume that when Microsoft comes out. not with their super app, which would be, you know, any day, any week now. I would think that Microsoft will eventually have some collaborative features.
Starting point is 00:31:41 I would say the same thing, obviously, for Claude and Gemini. So I don't think this is like where you're, you know, you should throw away your current harness or anything like that. But for smaller teams or for project sprints that you know that you're going to have to work with multiple teams or multiple team members that are using different harnesses, different models, it actually, might be good for instances like that. Scope it out first.
Starting point is 00:32:04 This is brand new, but it looks promising so far. Like I said, for me, I don't think I'll be using it. We're a small team. And I'm so codex pilled, right? And like I said, I built the bridge from codex to Claude and Claude to Codex. So I don't necessarily, aside from like, being like, oh, this is fun, this is cool. I don't necessarily have a good use case for it. But I think for many of you out there, it's going to be something definitely worth looking at.
Starting point is 00:32:31 All right, that is a wrap for the seven new AI features you need to know. So a quick update. Replit design is out. It looks really nice. ChatGPT desktop and Chrome extension updates, allowing you to summarize YouTube videos or mention at mention other tabs and pull info from there. Meta shifting from just an AI chat bot with Muse Spark 1.1 to just schedule a model that gets work done for you.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Google with a ton of new updates, some new updates with Gemini in Google Docs, their new Gemini Spark integration in Google Chrome, and the updated Lyria 3.5 model. And then, last but not least, we just have Buzz from Block. Good way for you and your team to talk to many different agents. And I don't know, just have them fight it out and watch it and eat popcorn. Have fun. All right, that's a wrap, y'all. So if this was helpful, yeah, we do these kind of themed shows a couple of times a week. On Friday, we bring you Friday features.
Starting point is 00:33:39 These are things, AI tools and updates you can actually use now. On Monday, we go over the AI news, y'all, I'm telling you this week was crazy in AI news, right? Not just like, you know, it wasn't necessarily about model releases. It was about agents going loose, you know, laws, regulations, nuts. And then on Wednesdays, we do hands-on demos called putting AI to work on Wednesdays. And Tuesdays and Thursdays, we rotate our shows. So I hope this is helpful if it was. Please do me a favor.
