Episode Details

Episode 44. The agent era grew a services arm today: OpenAI launched Presence, an enterprise voice-and-chat agent platform it deploys with its own Forward Deployed Engineers instead of selling self-serve. Jack King also covers Zoom Revenue Accelerator's pivot from insight to action, Washington's accusation that Moonshot distilled Anthropic's Fable to build Kimi K3 — and what that provenance fight means for any brand that publishes AI media — HCLTech's finding that only 18% of enterprises see real revenue impact from AI, OpenAI's $30B Project Camellia data center, and MCP quietly becoming the enterprise standard.
