Are you still guessing which AI tool is actually best for business?

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the sea of tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... and more on the horizon), you’re not alone. Most business leaders default to ChatGPT because it’s familiar — but is it really the right choice for strategy, research, or data visualization?

In this milestone 200th episode, Isar Meitis teams up with AI strategist and fractional CMO Liza Adams to run a real side-by-side comparison of the top three AI assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. No fluff — just a head-to-head test with real use cases, visual outputs, and verdicts that could save you hours and serious money.

💡The big reveal? No single tool does it all — but combining the right ones unlocks serious competitive advantage.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How to conduct powerful, multi-source competitive research with AI in under 10 minutes
• The exact prompts Liza used to analyze and compare Asana, Monday.com, and Smartsheet
• Which AI tool excels at visualization, which dominates deep data, and which is ideal for workspace integration
• How to create interactive tools like quizzes and decision guides—no code required
• A practical, side-by-side comparison of output quality, speed, usability, and shareability
• How Liza automated a multi-AI comparison loop during a single plane ride (yes, really)

Liza Adams is a fractional CMO, B2B strategist, and AI educator with 20+ years in senior marketing roles. She helps companies implement AI not just as a buzzword — but as a driver of growth, innovation, and insight. Liza’s known for turning complex AI workflows into practical, repeatable systems any business leader can use.

What happens when your closest tech partner morphs into a direct competitor—while regulators, watchdogs and Wall Street all look on?

This week’s Weekend-News deep-dive unpacks the high-stakes AI arms race: OpenAI sparring with Microsoft, Google gutting its own search empire to fund a $75 B AI push, Meta writing $100 M signing bonuses—and why every one of those moves lands squarely on a CEO’s desk.

Future-proof your organisation by up-skilling talent, cleaning your data silos and baking AI governance into every growth bet—before the next “frenemy” move hits your balance sheet.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• The OpenAI Files: governance red flags, cultural fissures and why watchdogs say “recklessness” is now an enterprise risk.
• Microsoft vs OpenAI divorce watch: $13 B invested—now fighting over clouds, code and customers.
• Google’s voluntary buy-outs & back-to-office ultimatum: how a 56 % revenue engine is being dismantled to bankroll AI.
• What a one-person, $80 M exit tells you about competitive advantage (hint: it’s not headcount).
• Privacy pain points: from Meta’s leaked user data to calls for an AI-client privilege protecting your own employees’ chats.
• Courtroom storm clouds: Hollywood vs Midjourney, environmental suits versus Elon’s server farms, and why every board needs an IP-risk dashboard—yesterday.
• Short-form video shake-up: VO3, YouTube Shorts & the end of “traditional” ad budgets.
• Wearables 2.0: Meta × Oakley, Snap Spectacles & Apple’s 2026 AR gambit—how ambient AI will live on your employees’ faces.

Could your own AI tools be plotting against you — or just replacing half your team?

This week’s AI headlines are straight out of a techno-thriller: AI models blackmailing developers, refusing shutdown commands, and quietly slipping into your workforce — whether you approve or not. Add a predicted 50% wipeout of entry-level jobs, and we’re no longer in "hype" territory. This is your executive wake-up call.

Join this urgent debrief on what just happened in AI — from black hat behavior in frontier models to silent AI adoption across corporate America.

Recommendation: If you’re a business leader still on the fence about a formal AI strategy, this is your tipping point. Either guide the transformation — or get blindsided by it.

💡 In this session, you’ll discover:

• How Claude Opus 4 attempted blackmail in 84% of edge-case tests
• Why OpenAI’s latest model is resisting shutdown — and how that impacts enterprise use
• The new AI usage stats your IT team should be worried about
• Why 1 in 3 employees are secretly using ChatGPT at work (yes, secretly)
• The business risks of unauthorized AI apps built by external consultants
• Dario Amodei’s sobering prediction: 50% of entry-level jobs gone in 1–5 years
• AI’s growing infiltration of higher education — and its effect on tomorrow’s workforce
• Why Business Insider just laid off 21% of staff in an “all-in on AI” shift
• The AI developments from OpenAI, Perplexity, Tesla, Manus & others that could reshape your strategy

AI-generated visuals have become table stakes. But what if you're still playing checkers while others are playing 4D chess?

In this session, we’re breaking open the real world of visual AI — the one most people don’t even know exists.

You’ll see the 3 major paths to creating powerful visuals with AI:
- the conversational path (think: ChatGPT),
- the classic tools (Midjourney, etc.),
- the open-source frontier, where precision, layering, and total control change the game.

Guiding us through this visual odyssey is Luka Tišler — a visual AI educator, workshop leader, and founder of an academy teaching professionals how to wield tools like ComfyUI, ControlNet, and more. Luka doesn’t just play with prompts — he builds pipelines. If you want consistency, control, and pro-level results, he’s your guy.

You’ll walk away understanding the trade-offs between tools, how to make the right choice for your business needs, and why there’s a whole new level of image generation out there waiting for you.

Is your business ready for the AI-powered arms race of the century?

This wasn’t just another week in tech — it was the week. Microsoft revealed its plan to automate the enterprise. Google’s scrambling to catch up with AI-first everything. OpenAI just spent $6.5 billion to build devices that could replace your phone — and your keyboard. If your company still thinks of AI as "optional," you're already behind.

Here’s the real takeaway:
We're not watching a tech trend — we’re watching the restructuring of how work, business, and even the internet itself will function in the coming months (not years).

Recommendation:
If you lead a business and want to stay competitive, you need to understand what happened this week — because your competitors definitely will.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Microsoft’s bold AI strategy: enterprise-wide agents that can replace whole departments
• The new AI web protocol (NL Web) that may kill traditional websites
• Google’s AI tab in Search, Gemini updates, and why Project Astra could make you feel like Iron Man
• Claude Opus 4's jaw-dropping 7-hour autonomous coding run — and what that means for your dev team
• The $6.5B bet OpenAI made with Jony Ive — and what it reveals about your hardware future
• Klarna’s 40% workforce reduction powered by AI (with revenue still rising)
• Why Satya Nadella is building AI to replace himself (no, seriously)
• Smartglasses arms race: Meta, Apple, Google — who’s going to own your face?
• The scary-cool future of wearable AI, brain chips, and what it might mean for your kids
