Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

AI developments legit change hourly.
That means what business leaders can do changes daily. And drastically.
As soon as you FINALLY learn a new AI technique, it’s often already outdated, and approvals to use it at work can take forevvvvver.
Solution: know what’s coming.
That’s why you have me.
I’m not a mind reader, but I spend almost all day every day talking with the people building AI, using it myself, and teaching others. 
It’s literally my job.
Each year I publish predictions and a roadmap because you don’t have 10 hours a day to keep up.
(I do.)
So, today is part 1 of one of our most important shows of the year: Our AI Predictions and Roadmap series. 

AI Agent Crash, Software Collapses and Non-Human Economies. 2026 AI Prediction and Roadmap Series. Vol 1

How did prompt engineering die so quickly? ☠️

And what the heck does context engineering even mean? 

One of the trickiest things about LLMs is they're changing daily, yet they're the engines that drive business results. 

But if the engine is constantly changing, then you also have to change how you drive and the roads you take. 

That's why we're tackling context engineering in this installment of our Start Here Series, the essential beginners guide to understanding AI basics and growing your skills.

For better AI agents, we just need bigger models, right? 🤔

Nah.

They just need to all work together in a society.

That's Ece Kamar's take. And she should know. She's been working in the AI agent field for two decades, long before the birth of the modern large language model.

So what's the next step for your company to embrace agents? Focus on smaller agents working and sharing, not one jumbo model working in a silo.

Tune in and find out how to make it work.
