Ambient Advantage — April 28, 2026

Ambient Advantage is a daily AI briefing in under 15 minutes on agentic and generative AI, made for business leaders who need to decide — not debug. Every weekday morning, we distill the most important developments in AI into what actually matters for strategy, operations, and competitive advantage: the acquisitions, partnerships, model launches, enterprise adoption trends, and regulatory shifts you need to know before your Monday leadership meeting. No jargon, no hype, no engineering deep-dives. Just signal over noise, delivered in the time it takes to drink your morning coffee. Curated by Chiel Hendriks, a Managing Director at PwC Canada with nearly 16 years at Google before that, Ambient Advantage is the podcast he wished existed when he started advising clients on the agentic AI wave. New episodes every weekday. Start your morning with the advantage.
