AI is getting surprisingly good at selling products, making phone calls, editing video, controlling your computer, teaching classes, and even searching hundreds of podcasts — and Corey Ganim and Andrew Warner break down the latest tools making it possible.

In this episode, Corey and Andrew explore a new wave of AI releases, including an AI-powered live shopping host that can pitch products like a QVC presenter, Infinite Slop’s endlessly generated AI livestream, Treg’s open-source people-search and enrichment MCP for Claude and Codex, and Google Pix for granular AI image editing. They also demonstrate Dial, which gives AI agents their own phone numbers so they can make and receive calls, along with Diffusion Studio’s approach to turning video edits into reusable code.
The episode also covers OpenClaw 2.0 and the challenges surrounding its latest release, Claude’s new computer-use capabilities that let it control apps directly on your Mac, an open-source AI classroom that creates teachers, classmates, whiteboards, debates, and real-time quizzes, and Radar, an MCP that lets AI agents search podcasts for highly specific opportunities, guests, brands, and sponsors.
