Alex and Morgan open the show with a warm welcome and set the stage for today’s conversations—ranging from AI’s role in education, to the spectacle of humanoid robots in action, to a massive investment in the future of AI infrastructure.

Grammarly Expands Into AI Agents The first story looks at Grammarly’s latest pivot: the rollout of new AI agents designed to help with writing, grading, and plagiarism detection. The hosts discuss how these tools could reshape the classroom experience for both students and educators, and what Grammarly’s shift says about the growing role of AI in everyday productivity.

China’s Humanoid Robot Games Next, the episode takes a trip to China for the Humanoid Robot Games. Alex and Morgan highlight the mix of breakthrough feats—like robots performing backflips and navigating complex obstacles—alongside their still-visible shortcomings, from stumbles to soccer match wipeouts. The discussion explores how far robotics has come, where the technology lags, and what events like this reveal about the global race in humanoid development.

SoftBank Bets Big on AI Infrastructure The final segment covers SoftBank’s acquisition of Foxconn’s Ohio EV plant, which will be repurposed into a hub for AI server manufacturing. Tied to the $500 billion Stargate project with OpenAI and Oracle, the move signals SoftBank’s serious push into AI infrastructure despite earlier delays. The hosts unpack the scale of this bet and its implications for the future of global AI capacity.

Recap and Close From Grammarly reshaping education, to robots tumbling toward progress, to SoftBank’s billion-dollar bet on AI hardware, today’s stories show how innovation is accelerating across every corner of technology.
