The Next Wave of AI Agents Is Here

This episode focused on how AI is moving from chat into action: persistent agents, enterprise workflows, customer support, navigation, and websites built for AI use. The group spent the most time on Perplexity’s new “personal computer” concept, then moved through Grammarly’s rollback, Google Maps’ Gemini updates, OpenAI’s visual explanations, voice-based support agents, and how prompting changes when you are assigning tasks instead of just chatting.
