Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Liz (https://x.com/leveragedupside) about the blistering pace of AI development and what it means for business owners right now.

We dive into the difference between traditional LLMs and the new reasoning models from OpenAI and Google, exploring how they go beyond just predicting the next word to actually thinking through problems using methods like chain of thought. Liz shares exciting updates like OpenAI's beefed-up API with a massive 1 million token context window and how this enables tackling complex business tasks, like analyzing thousands of contracts, which used to cost a fortune.

Plus, Liz gives us a look at Lindy, an automation tool designed for small businesses that makes building these powerful workflows much simpler than older tools like Zapier or Make.com, even demonstrating how it can automate lead enrichment.
