You learned how to prompt. Great. Now what?Most business leaders have figured out how to get decent answers from ChatGPT or Claude. But there's a massive gap between writing good prompts and actually building things that run your business. The people closing that gap right now aren't developers. They're business people who figured out one thing: you don't need to code when your browser can do it for you.In this session, Chris Daigle will open his actual setup — Claude Code paired with a browser agent — and build real solutions live. Not slides. Not theory. You'll watch him set up OAuth integrations, automate LinkedIn workflows, and tackle the kind of backend tasks that normally require a developer. All through a browser. All without writing a single line of code manually.Chris calls this evolution "thinking in builds" — the next level beyond prompting. It's where you stop asking AI for answers and start asking it to do the work. And the tools to do it are shockingly accessible: a free browser agent and a $20 Claude subscription.Chris Daigle is the founder of ChiefAIOfficer.com, where he helps mid-market executives and their teams develop AI strategy, implement AI across departments, and become AI-enabled businesses. He trains Chief AI Officers, keynotes at YPO and Vistage events, and has been deep in the agentic AI space since its earliest days. Chris brings the rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on building.In this session, you'll discover:- How to pair Claude Code with a browser agent like Comet to build real workflows — step by step- What "thinking in builds" means and why it's the skill that separates AI users from AI builders- How to automate OAuth setups, API integrations, and other backend tasks without touching code- Real examples of browser agent workflows you can copy and use immediately- Why even seasoned AI professionals are underestimating what browser agents can do right now- How to safely sandbox your AI agents so they don't destroy your production environment- The exact copy-paste workflow Chris uses to go from idea to working solution in minutesThis is the session where prompting graduates to building.

What happens when AI doesn't just improve your business… but replaces how it fundamentally operates?The answer is already here and it's moving faster than most leaders are prepared for. From AI models being trained by thousands of domain experts to billion-dollar companies run by just one or two people, the signals are clear: this isn't incremental change. It's a complete rewrite of work, organizations, and the economy.If you're leading a business, the question isn't if this will impact you—it's whether you'll adapt fast enough to stay relevant.The leaders who win will be the ones who rethink everything—how teams are structured, how work gets done, and how value is created—in an AI-first world.

What if your entire marketing department could run on one command… without losing your voice, your strategy, or your edge?The truth is, most businesses are still stuck in a world where growth depends on time, people, and manual execution.

Dr. Nicci Sweaney is a former academic, data scientist, and business consultant who now helps organizations build AI-powered systems that transform how work gets done. With a PhD in ecology and a background spanning education, analytics, and leadership, she brings a uniquely rigorous and practical approach to AI implementation.If you're serious about scaling without burning out your team (or yourself), this is the blueprint you've been waiting for.In this session, you'll discover: How to build an AI-powered marketing system that creates newsletters, blogs, and social content automatically  Why “execution” is no longer a competitive advantage—and what replaces it  The concept of AI agents as team members (not tools) and how to manage them effectively  What “skills files” are and why they're the secret to high-quality, non-generic AI output  How to maintain brand voice, personality, and strategic control with human-in-the-loop checkpoints  The exact process of turning weekly inputs into 15+ pieces of content with minimal effort  Why most AI-generated content fails—and how to avoid blending into the noise  How leaders should rethink roles, teams, and productivity in an AI-driven world About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

What happens when AI stops helping with work—and starts doing the work itself?This episode connects a set of developments that business leaders should not ignore. From Sequoia's thesis that AI is replacing services, not just software, to Anthropic's findings that AI adoption is still far behind AI capability, the message is clear: the bottleneck is no longer technology. It is implementation.The bigger takeaway is even more important. Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic all released capabilities this week that make autonomous, business-ready AI workflows far more practical than they were even a few months ago. For leaders, that means the window to experiment is still open—but it may not stay open for long.In this session, you'll discover:Why AI is increasingly targeting work itself rather than the software layer around itThe difference between intelligence work and judgment work, and why that matters for business leadersWhat Anthropic's Claude usage data reveals about the gap between AI capability and actual adoptionWhy friction—not technical limitations—is slowing AI transformation inside companiesHow Google's new Workspace CLI expands agent access across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and moreWhat Microsoft Copilot Cowork could mean for enterprise automation inside Microsoft 365Why AI review systems will become essential as AI-generated output scales across functionsHow autonomous agent loops could reshape software, marketing, sales, customer service, and product developmentWhat recent layoffs at Meta and Atlassian suggest about the future of knowledge workThe legal battles emerging around AI, from copyright to legal advice to data privacyAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Most AI projects look impressive… right until you try to use them in production.A flashy demo? Easy.A scalable, structured, production-ready solution? That's a different game.Over the past year, we've seen teams build incredible AI prototypes in days. But when it comes to:• Maintaining consistent design systems• Avoiding hardcoded chaos• Managing dependencies properly• Creating reusable components• Refactoring for scale• Enabling multiple teams to collaborateThings start to fall apart.That's exactly what we're addressing in our upcoming live session of Leveraging AI with Joanna Stoffregen. She recently published a YouTube walkthrough on building websites with AI that reached 26,000+ viewers. But what makes her approach different isn't the tools.In this session, she'll break down how to move from “vibe coding” and experimentation to production-grade AI solutions, the kind that organizations can actually ship, maintain, and scale.If you're a business leader driving AI initiatives, this conversation is for you. The bottleneck in 2026 isn't access to AI.It's execution discipline.About Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

And with video models that generate flawless visuals and synchronized audio in real time, we've entered a new era where “seeing is believing” no longer applies.For business leaders, this isn't just geopolitical theater. It's a strategic inflection point. From AI-generated fraud and deepfake manipulation to workforce burnout driven by productivity acceleration, the rules of competition — and trust — are changing faster than most organizations can process.In this episode, we break down what China's AI surge really means, why deepfake technology is now a board-level issue, and how AI may be making your top performers more productive… and more exhausted.In this session, you'll discover:Why China's latest AI releases signal a shift in the global AI power balanceWhat makes ByteDance's new video model fundamentally different from U.S. competitorsHow AI-generated video with synchronized audio changes the fraud landscapeThe growing legal and regulatory backlash from Hollywood and governmentsWhy “Deepfake-as-a-Service” is becoming a criminal business modelThe real financial cost of AI-enabled fraud — and why it's acceleratingMicrosoft's legal action against synthetic abuse networksHow governments are attempting (and struggling) to regulate synthetic mediaWhy AI may increase burnout instead of reducing workloadThe “productivity treadmill” effect inside AI-enabled organizationsHow AI agents are transforming coding, databases, and knowledge workWhy only a tiny percentage of employees are true AI power usersWhat business leaders must do now to prepare for the next waveAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

It's a practical, repeatable system that replaces hours of manual analysis with intelligent automation—while keeping humans focused on decisions, not data prep.In this session, you'll discover:Why “more data” isn't the answer and how AI helps surface the right insightsHow to automate multi-source data analysis without advanced technical skillsThe 4-step framework for building reliable AI analytics automationsHow AI identifies deviations, root causes, and meaningful trendsWhen to use rigid automation vs. flexible AI reasoningHow leaders receive clean, actionable insight reports directly via emailWhy separating “analysis” and “strategy” agents improves AI output qualityHow this approach applies across marketing, finance, sales, HR, and operationsAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Is this the beginning of the end for SaaS as we know it?In a single week, AI announcements erased hundreds of billions of dollars in market value from the world's largest software companies. Anthropic, OpenAI, and a new generation of autonomous AI agents didn't just release updates — they exposed a structural shift in how work gets done.In this episode, Isar Meitis breaks down why this moment isn't just another hype cycle. AI agents can now code, reason, coordinate, schedule tasks, browse the web, and run workflows in parallel — without constant human supervision. That changes the economics of software, labor, and entire business models.The takeaway is uncomfortable but clear: large enterprises may survive — but smaller, single-purpose SaaS products are already being replaced. Business leaders who don't adapt quickly risk being left behind by companies that can now move 10x faster with fewer people.In this session, you'll discover:Why the so-called “SaaS Apocalypse” wiped out over $300B in market value in daysHow AI agents are replacing entire categories of software — not just automating tasksWhat Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's Codex reveal about the future of workWhy multi-agent systems change productivity economics foreverThe difference between enterprise infrastructure SaaS and vulnerable niche toolsWhy hallucinations, autonomy, and speed create new operational risksWhat business leaders must do now to stay competitive in an agent-driven worldAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Unorthodox Ukraine Diplomacy and Geopolitical Realism — Mary Kissel — Kissel analyzes the "exceedingly odd" U.S. approach to Ukraine peace negotiations, wherein businesspeople framed initial proposals while bypassing traditional State Department channels. This transactional negotiating style concerns European allies because it appears to reward Russia and establishes an unfavorable initial bargaining position. Kissel suggests the conflict will likely persist while diplomatic discussions protract. She commends Marco Rubio for prioritizing economic growth and countering Chineseand Iranian influence throughout the Western Hemisphere. 1856 BLACK SEA
