The Masked Medici: How to Build a Faceless Youtube Channel and Companion 1990s Strategy Game in a Single Afternoon with Google AI
In this Operators bonus episode presented by Google, we take a Renaissance history passion project end-to-end — using Gemini, Notebook LM, Stitch, and Google AI Studio to build a faceless YouTube channel with cinematic AI-generated videos, an illuminated manuscript-style companion website, and a turn-by-turn political strategy game where you try to survive 30 years in Medici-era Florence.

How to Build a Personal Context Portfolio and MCP Server
In today's Build episode, we tackle one of the most underappreciated friction points in the agentic era — the fact that every new agent, project, or tool requires you to re-explain yourself from scratch. We walk through how to create a personal context portfolio, a structured set of markdown files that acts as an operating manual for any AI you work with, and then how to deploy it as an MCP server so every agent can access it.Use our app to get interviewed and build your personal context portfolio files: https://www.contextportfolio.ai/DIY pe...
Agent Skills Masterclass
Nufar Gaspar walks NLW through a five-level framework for agent skills — from understanding what they are to building an organizational skill library. We get into the anatomy of an effective skill, the mistakes that kill them, advanced patterns like dispatchers and skill chaining, and why skills might be the first AI infrastructure primitive with a built-in expiration date.Your Agent Skills Masterclass companion checklist: https://play.aidailybrief.ai/episodes/skills-master-class/Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leader...
Introducing Maturity Maps — A New Way to Measure AI Adoption
Today we're introducing Maturity Maps, a new framework for benchmarking AI and agent adoption across six key dimensions - from deployment depth to systems integration to people and governance. This first reference point is built on 480+ studies representing 150,000+ survey respondents from the last quarter alone -- and the results show most organizations are behind where they should be on nearly every front.

The Ultimate AI Catch-Up Guide
If someone in your life keeps asking how to get started with AI, this is the episode to send them. It covers the fundamentals, debunks the biggest misconceptions, walks through the full landscape of tools from chatbots to agents to vibe coding, and lays out a practical five-category framework for getting real value starting today.Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at www.kpmg.us/NavigateMercury - Modern ban...
The State of AI Q2: AI's Second Moment
NLW kicks off Build Week with the AI Daily Brief's first quarterly State of AI report. From the agentic explosion and Claude Code's revenue surge to the SaaS apocalypse and the Pentagon standoff with Anthropic, this is the full picture of the most consequential quarter in AI since ChatGPT launched — and what to watch heading into Q2.Presentation: https://q2.aidbintel.com/Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build...
How AI Can Help Democracy Work Better
Stanford professor Andy Hall argues that instead of fixating on AI dystopia, we should be racing to build AI tools that make citizens smarter, represent them more faithfully, and force institutions to be more accountable. NLW reads key excerpts from Hall's essay and makes the case that agents built for governance, not just business, could reshape the relationship between people and power.Link: https://freesystems.substack.com/p/building-political-superintelligenceBrought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a cl...
Anthropic Accidentally Revealed Their Most Powerful Model Ever
Intercom and Cursor have both shown that post-training open-weight models on domain-specific interaction data can match or beat the best frontier models — cheaper and faster. It's a development that could reshape the business model of the major AI labs and validate the idea that experience data, not just scale, is the next frontier of model performance. In the headlines: Anthropic's Claude Mythos model leaks, Google drops a real-time voice model, Shopify launches Tinker, and OpenAI shelves adult mode.Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new pa...
Why AI Needs Better Benchmarks
AI benchmarks are breaking—saturated, gamed, and increasingly disconnected from real-world performance. This episode explores why that’s happening and how new tests like ARC AGI 3 aim to measure actual learning and reasoning instead of memorization. In the headlines: Apple’s deeper Gemini plans, a major efficiency breakthrough from Google, and rising political tension around AI infrastructure.Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG’s new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at www.kpmg.us/NavigateMercury - Mode...
Work AGI is the Only AGI that Matters
OpenAI is making its most dramatic strategic pivot yet — killing Sora, renaming its product team to "AGI Deployment," and narrowing Sam Altman's role — all to double down on coding and knowledge work. The message from every major lab is clear: forget the abstract AGI debate, the only AGI worth chasing is the one that reinvents how work gets done. In the headlines: IPO fever takes hold as SpaceX eyes a record-breaking offering, a pre-IPO AI ETF completely detaches from reality, and a federal judge takes the Pentagon to task over its fight with Anthropic.Brought to you by:<...
How to Use Claude's Massive New Upgrades
Claude’s latest updates aren’t just incremental—they fundamentally change how you interact with AI, shifting from tool to always-on execution layer. This episode breaks down the biggest new capabilities across Claude Code and Claude Cowork, including remote control, dispatch, channels, scheduled tasks, and full computer use, with a focus on what they actually enable and how to start using them in practice.

The Coming AI Rules Battle
AI is rising faster than any other issue in American political polling, and the White House just dropped a legislative framework that's already drawing fire from both sides — populist right critics calling AI "profoundly anti-human" and Democrats saying voluntary standards won't cut it. The real question is whether this four-page opening move can hold the center as midterms approach and public anxiety about jobs keeps climbing. In the headlines: OpenAI plans to double its workforce with a major enterprise push, FedEx is training all 400,000 employees on AI, and Meta's internal agents are now talking to each other.Fo...
