Episode Details

YouTube Music began labeling tracks as Fully Gen AI, Partly Gen AI, or No Gen AI today, and Deezer announced a listener-facing toggle to filter AI music out of search entirely — disclosure moved from policy document to product feature on the same day. Jack King also covers Floqer's autonomous prospect-research agents launching at TechCrunch Disrupt, Revenue Growth Agent putting company-trained sales agents inside ChatGPT and Claude via MCP, the arrival of the MCP security layer from Radware and Scytale, Marklo's $5M seed and public beta for agentic Shopify marketing, and new survey data showing 53% of US small businesses say AI already handles at least one employee's workload — with marketing and sales first in line to be automated.
