In the second instalment of our Agentic AI series, Georgia and Matt are joined by returning friend of the pod and AI product expert, Pete Sbarski, to put our AI-generated startup ideas under some very real scrutiny.
But first… the news:
⚖️ Legal & Regulatory Shakeups A US court ruled that training AI on legally purchased books = OK, pirated books? Not so much.
Germany's taking on DeepSeek, pressuring Apple and Google to block the app over privacy concerns.
⚡️ Infrastructure Watch
Amazon's going big in Australia, announcing a massive $13B investment in data centers and solar by 2029.
Cloudflare and Google Cloud had a rough week, with outages reminding us that even hyperscalers aren’t immune to single points of failure.
💡 Back to Business: Can AI Actually Build a Startup?
Last episode, Claude and Gemini pitched six startup ideas.
This week, we brought in Pete to roast them (constructively). Here’s what made the shortlist:
🧠 Key Takeaways from Pete
✅ What We’re Testing Next
We’re moving ahead with two experiments:
The Content Copilot – using AI to repurpose and summarise our own podcast archive.
RFP / Grant Assistant – trialing real-world applications with a friend’s health tech startup.
We’ll be back soon with some early results — and hopefully a winner. 👀 📩
