In this episode of In the Loop, I dive into the biggest AI reveals from Microsoft’s Build and Google I/O—two landmark conferences that showcased over 150 new AI features in just one week. But this isn't just a recap. I cherry-pick the announcements that I believe signal the future of AI, particularly in how Microsoft and Google are taking radically different routes in shaping our digital world.

From Microsoft’s bold vision of an "open agentic web" to Google’s consumer-driven experiments and AR glasses revival, I break down what these strategies mean for developers, businesses, and everyday users. Whether you're an enterprise builder, a curious consumer, or just someone trying to keep up with the rapid pace of AI innovation—this one’s for you.
