This week on Found in AI, Cassie is covering two major developments and one fascinating research study that all point to where AI search is heading — and what marketers and founders should be paying attention to right now.
Covered in this episode:
- Why Google's 19.5-hour spam update rollout is historically significant and what it tells us about enforcement speed
- What SpamBrain targets and why clean, structured content doesn't get caught in spam updates
- How the FSA Framework (Freshness, Structure, Authority) maps to spam-proof content strategy
- Why OpenAI's Instant Checkout failed and what Walmart's conversion data revealed
- How ChatGPT is pivoting from in-app checkout to product discovery — and which major retailers are already integrated
- Why Walmart is embedding its own AI chatbot (Sparky) inside ChatGPT instead of using OpenAI's infrastructure
- What Sora's shutdown and the collapsed Disney deal signal about OpenAI's priorities ahead of its IPO
- Why conversational product discovery is a visibility and entity play for brands
- What Anthropic learned from 81,000 qualitative interviews about what people want — and fear — from AI
- How all three stories connect to the bigger picture of trust, authority, and AI visibility
