Joe Shelerud, CEO of Ad Advance, sits down with Ryan Craver, Chief Strategy Officer of Podean, for a candid, fast-moving conversation on what's actually happening in AI right now — and what it means for agencies and marketers.Key Takeaways:The pace is the story. From ChatGPT's launch in November 2022 to Claude Sonnet 4.6, OpenClaw, and Perplexity Computer all dropping within weeks of each other — the speed of innovation has fundamentally changed how teams need to operate.Agent orchestration is here. OpenClaw, Claude Cowork, and Perplexity Computer each offer different on-ramps to agentic workflows. Ryan and Joe break down what each one actually does and who each is best suited for.Real wins are happening. Tasks that once took an hour are taking five minutes. Recurring research, competitive intelligence, and internal reporting are being automated — right now, not someday.Input quality is everything. Weak prompts and poor context yield weak outputs. Building out skills, brand guidelines, and knowledge bases inside your AI stack is what separates teams getting real value from those just dabbling.Don't get locked in. Both hosts agree: building around one model ecosystem is risky. The future is model-agnostic routing — pick the best tool for each task, not just the most familiar one.Models will become commodities. The real value is shifting to the platforms, orchestration layers, and workflows built on top — the "picks and shovels" play of the AI gold rush.A great listen for agency leaders, marketers, and anyone trying to cut through AI hype and find what's actually worth their time.

From ChatGPT-written speeches to constituents flooding MPs with AI-generated emails, artificial intelligence has arrived in Westminster. In this episode of Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker explores how politicians and ministers are scrambling to respond, balancing fears about deepfakes, bias and online harms with a determination to harness AI for economic growth. The UK's first AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, says he believes that an artificial intelligence more capable than humans (so-called AGI) could arrive in five years' time, and explains how he is trying to balance the risks of AI with its economic potential. Labour MP Mike Reader, dubbed the “ChatG-MP” after being spotted using the model to respond to constituents on a train, describes how AI is changing the day-to-day work of politicians. Conservative MP Luke Evans reflects on delivering the first AI-generated speech in the House of Commons. Labour MP Dawn Butler, who served on Parliament's Science and Technology Committee, sets out her concerns about AI perpetuating racial discrimination and why she believes it must be tightly controlled. POLITICO's Tech Editor Isobel Hamilton traces the twists and turns of the UK's AI policy, including the influence of a pivotal meeting between the Prime Minister and a leading tech CEO. And Andrea Miotti, CEO of Control AI, explains why he believes urgent action is needed to guard against the existential risks posed by increasingly powerful systems. Learn more about your ad choices.

NanoClaw is a new agent inspired by OpenClaw, but without the massive security risks you get with OpenClaw. Essentially, it's a safer OpenClaw.What if you could run a powerful AI agent on your own machine: one that can browse, automate tasks, connect to apps, and even manage your workflow ... but without the massive security risks?That's the idea behind NanoClaw, a lightweight alternative to OpenClaw created by developer Gavriel Cohen. In just a few weeks, the project exploded on GitHub, attracting thousands of stars and a growing community of developers building their own AI agents.In this episode of TechFirst, we explore:• Why OpenClaw raised serious security concerns• How NanoClaw isolates agents in containers• Why a 3,000-line codebase is safer than 500,000 lines• The rise of AI agents that can actually do work• Why entire software categories may soon be replaced by prompts• The future of AI-native workflows and “disposable software”Gavriel also shares how his team uses AI agents in WhatsApp to run their sales pipeline automatically—and how developers are customizing NanoClaw with new capabilities like voice, images, and automation.If you're interested in AI agents, autonomous workflows, vibe coding, and the future of software, this conversation is packed with insights.⸻GuestGavriel CohenFounder, QuibbitNanoClaw Creatorhttps://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw⸻If you enjoy conversations about AI, startups, and the future of technology, subscribe for more episodes:https://techfirst.substack.com⸻00:00 Intro: A safe OpenClaw for TechFirst01:22 Gavriel Cohen introduces NanoClaw03:25 Why OpenClaw feels unsafe03:55 Half a million lines of code vs. 3,00006:03 Dependency sprawl and supply-chain risk07:00 Why every agent needs its own container09:30 What NanoClaw can actually do10:16 Letting NanoClaw customize itself12:56 How NanoClaw recreates OpenClaw with far less code13:21 Memory, Claude Code, and agents.md15:34 Running NanoClaw on a laptop, server, or VPS16:22 What Gavriel learned from vibe coding19:50 The OpenClaw phase shift: everything changed21:16 From ChatGPT to real agents that do work23:15 Why AI-native workflows beat traditional SaaS24:46 Replacing CRM workflows with markdown and WhatsApp25:54 Product categories becoming prompts26:36 The key innovation: agents leaving the box28:45 Agent swarms and one-person companies29:22 Tokens, cost, and AI inequality30:30 Building secure, customizable software32:25 Self-modifying software and shared customizations33:44 Disposable software and infinite composability35:00 Outro

Algorithms and AI don't just show us reality — they warp it in ways that benefit platforms built to exploit people for profit, says etymologist Adam Aleksic. From ChatGPT influencing our word choices to Spotify turning a data cluster into a new musical genre, he reveals how new technology subconsciously shapes our language, trends and sense of identity. "These aren't neutral tools," he says, encouraging us to constantly ask ourselves: How am I being influenced?(After the talk, Aleksic sits down with Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily podcast, to discuss how he became interested in language and its evolution — from writing on leaves, clay and stone to AI models like ChatGPT.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi everyone and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. Everyone's talking about it—AI. From ChatGPT to niche tools, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly visible in our industry. But here's the question on many advisors' minds: Will AI replace us? In this episode, I unpack why the answer is no. After spending the past year or two closely observing the slow but steady rise of AI in the financial services space, I've gathered my thoughts—and today, I'm sharing them with you. I also discussed the following: (03:08) Why AI won't replace financial advisors (06:28) Practical ways advisors can leverage AI today (08:22 Why embracing AI is essential for an advisor (14:58) What do I think about AI clones (17:30) How AI is helping advisors build a lasting legacy --- The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 30 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000's of advisors (below are videos and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into the four areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network.
