What's Happening? AI

Perplexity just launched a $200 per month AI Email Assistant that promises to handle your inbox like a real executive assistant, like drafting replies, triaging messages, and even scheduling meetings in Gmail and Outlook. In this episode, we break down how it works, who it’s for, and whether it can actually tame email chaos.

NVIDIA just announced plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, with a goal of building 10 gigawatts of AI data centers. This massive deal could reshape the future of AI infrastructure, accelerate the next generation of models, and shift the balance of power across the tech world. In this episode, I break down what the deal means, why it matters, the risks and challenges ahead, and what to watch for next.

China’s DeepSeek shocks the AI world with a reasoning model trained for under $300K, Google transforms Chrome into an AI-powered hub with built-in agents, and AMD’s Lisa Su says we’re only in year two of a ten-year AI boom. Plus, Samsung scales Galaxy AI to hundreds of millions of devices and Congress adopts Microsoft Copilot. What does it all mean for the future of AI — and for you?

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5 Codex. This is a major upgrade that turns AI into a true coding partner. We break down what’s new, from dynamic reasoning and 7-hour coding sessions to smarter code reviews and GitHub integration. What does this mean for developers, teams, and the future of software engineering? Tune in for the full story.

Is AI already overhyped or is the real story that it’s still just getting started? In this episode of What’s Happening? AI, we dive into why leaders in AMD say AI is underhyped, explore breakthroughs in local on-device intelligence, and uncover how new hardware, smarter models, and evolving regulations are setting the stage for AI’s next big leap.

Agentic AI is here. It's powering factories, reshaping consulting, and embedding itself deep into enterprise infrastructure. But what happens after agents that act, plan, and adapt?In this episode we're exploring the frontier beyond agentic AI: self-orchestrating agent networks, persistent memory, hybrid physical-digital systems, and even the beginnings of an “agentic web.” Along the way, we dive into fresh reporting on Amazon’s agent infrastructure, Accenture’s massive upskilling push, and OpenAI’s robotics revival. Plus, new research on governance, small models, and agent ecosystems.You’ll hear why observability and runtime safety are becoming critical, how modularity could beat raw scale, and what signals to watch for as we move into the post-agentic era.Whether you’re building AI tools, leading teams, or just curious about where autonomy goes next, this episode gives you a clear, engaging roadmap of the challenges and possibilities ahead.

What if one app could handle everything, from booking dinner to paying bills? In this episode, we dive into the rise of super apps and orchestrated large language models (LLMs), from the UAE’s fast new K2 Think model to “agent swarms” that can shrink 18 days of coding into six hours. We’ll unpack the promise of seamless convenience, the risks around privacy and trust, and what these breakthroughs mean for the future of everyday apps.

Google’s new Gemini feature, nicknamed Nano Banana, is taking the internet by storm, transforming photos into hyper-realistic 3D figurines. In this episode, we explore how a playful AI tool became a global viral trend, why people are obsessed, where it’s falling short, and what it reveals about the future of creativity. From politicians posting avatars to TikTok competitors racing to catch up, Nano Banana is more than a meme... it’s a glimpse into the next wave of AI culture.

NVIDIA has unveiled Rubin CPX, a next-generation chip designed to tackle massive video and software generation workloads in the cloud, while Arm has launched Lumex, a mobile platform promising 5× faster on-device AI for billions of phones and wearables. In this episode, we explore how these two radically different strategies — one aimed at creators and developers, the other at everyday users — are shaping the future of AI hardware and what it means for the tools and experiences we’ll use next.

In this episode, we dive into today’s biggest AI stories—from Ralph Lauren’s new Ask Ralph shopping assistant to cybersecurity upgrades from Sophos, enterprise automation from Genesys and Claude, JFrog’s developer tools, and fresh AI helpers like Annie the PR copywriter and Excel Superagents. Whether it’s fashion, security, or your daily spreadsheet grind, AI is making moves you’ll want to hear about.
