Episode Synopsis

I couldn’t let August start without breaking down one of the biggest and strangely quiet tech releases of the year: ChatGPT’s new Agent⁠. If you’ve been hearing bits and pieces about “agentic AI” but aren’t totally sure what it actually means or why it matters, this episode will bring it into focus.I walk through the difference between generative, predictive, and agentic AI in plain terms, how tools like Operator and Deep Research evolved into this new Agent, and what Connectors really are and how they work. We also touch on real security considerations, like prompt injection, and how OpenAI is thinking about protecting users as these systems become more autonomous.In the lifestyle segment, I share my current work-from-home joys, including fresh sunflowers on my desk, the patchperfect summer smoothie the Agent helped me create, and a few Olivia Dean tracks that are perfect for deep focus.If you’re curious about where AI is heading and want a grounded, practical way to understand what just changed, this episode is a great place to start.
