🗞️ TECH & TRENDS | From Tools to Teammates

🤖 AI Agents Are Already at Work
AI agents aren’t futuristic concepts anymore. People are already using them to research, plan, manage tasks, and coordinate workflows across tools. The real shift isn’t intelligence. It’s autonomy. Why it matters: Once software acts on your behalf, productivity compounds fast. 🔗 How people actually use AI agents

🏢 Enterprise GenAI Has Entered Its Grown-Up Phase
Inside large organizations, GenAI is moving from pilots to platforms. The companies seeing ROI aren’t chasing demos. They’re fixing data access, governance, and workflows so AI can scale safely. Why it matters: Infrastructure beats hype every time. 🔗 State of GenAI in the enterprise

🛍️ Salvation Army Shows What AI-Powered Retail Can Look Like
This campaign blends personalization, AI-driven insights, and mission-first storytelling. It proves AI can drive measurable retail outcomes without stripping away the human element. 🔗 Salvation Army AI retail campaign

🎨 100 Gamma Prompts (PH Favorite)
You know we love Gamma at Purple Horizons. It kills "Death by PowerPoint." But a tool is only as good as the input. Here are 100 prompts to help you build decks, docs, and websites faster than your boss can ask for them. 🔗 Steal these 100 Gamma prompts

💼 ChatGPT Pro: Your First Hire?
Sound for Movement makes a compelling case: For solopreneurs, the new ChatGPT Pro isn't a monthly subscription; it's a salary. It costs less than an intern, works 24/7, and rarely complains about the coffee. 🔗 Why AI is the ultimate first hire

🕶️ Google Confirms AI Glasses for 2026
Remember Google Glass? They’re trying again. Google just announced a new line of XR glasses dropping in 2026, powered by Gemini. This goes beyond another screen. It’s about ambient, always-on intelligence embedded into daily life. 🔗 Android XR updates

🐴 The "Peak Horse" Theory
In 1915, horses drove the economy. Then the engine appeared. Andy Jones asks the uncomfortable question: Are LLMs the combustion engine for the human brain? It’s a fascinating deep dive into economic obsolescence. The goal isn't to panic—it's to ensure you're the driver, not the cargo. 🔗 The horse theory

🎬 Disney + OpenAI Signals AI Goes Hollywood
Disney’s deal with OpenAI brings Sora into one of the world’s most powerful content machines. This is AI creativity entering industrial-scale production. Why it matters: Entertainment pipelines are about to compress hard. 🔗 Disney partners with OpenAI

🎙️ AI Is Rewriting Podcasting Economics
AI is reshaping production, distribution, and monetization across podcasting. Costs drop. Output rises. Competition intensifies. Why it matters: Quality and signal are the only defensible advantages left. 🔗 AI is changing podcasting
