Ep 693: AI Without the Jargon: The Language Every Business Leader Needs in 2026 (Start Here Series Vol 2) Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

The AI gap will kill companies.
What is it?
it's the large divide between AI's crazy impressive capabilities and what most companies are actually using them for.
And one of the biggest reasons for the AI gap?
Talking.
Like... no one understands how to talk about AI because the technology changes faster than Usain Bolt in Beijing.
You wanna talk to your AI team about LLMs?
PFT. They're running Ralph Wiggum loops in Claude Code and just kinda reading the code before it hits production.
Yeah, the divide is WIIIIIDE.
So we're gonna tackle it together on the second volume of our Starter Series: AI Without the Jargon: The AI Language Every Business Leader Needs to live by in 2026 -- An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan Wilson

The Rise of AI Assistants: The undeniable upside and the ugly downside Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

AI agents can do our work. OK, sweet. But they can also do.... a lot of bad. Yikes. 😳
So how should enterprises find the middles.
Cuz let's be honest. If your company is not using AI agents in 2026, you're going to fall FAR behind.
But if you don't have the 101 of security and guardrails on point, those AI agents can do more harm than good.
Wish you could get the answers directly from a Fortune 500 CEO?

Purpose-Built Enterprise AI Agents: What Actually Works Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Why wasn't 2025 the year of the agents? 🙅
Cuz enterprise companies were trying to copy-and-paste human roles with general purpose agents that weren't ready.
But you know what won the agentic race?
Narrow, purpose-built agents. You know.... those built off large swaths of data to do one very specific thing well.
As a VP of Engineering at LinkedIn, Prashanthi Padmanabhan knows a thing or three about building agents with purpose.
And she joins Everyday AI to spill the enterprise AI agent secrets.
