RR022: How AI agents are reinventing search with Antonio Mallia, Founder & CEO at Seltz

The internet was built for humans. Search engines, websites and online business models were all designed around people reading pages, clicking links and consuming information. But what happens when AI agents become the primary users of the web and governance of the internet will need to evolve from human-speed interactions to machine-speed ecosystemsThis week, Dave and Rob are joined by Antonio Mallia, Founder & CEO at Seltzto, to explore the rise of generative search, AI agents and the rapid transformation of the internet itself and how traditional search engines are being replaced by AI-powered systems. TLDR00:31 – Introduction01:53 – Hang out: Rob is confused about how AI-generated complaints are overwhelming public services08:55 – Conversation with Antonio Mallia, Founder and CEO of Seltz52:57 – Advice for websites and biking with the kids GuestAntonio Mallia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniomallia/ HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini
