About this episode
The episode discusses the launch of Google's Gemini desktop app, compares it with Claude and ChatGPT, and explores the implications of AI in workflows and marketing.
Beth Lyons and Andy Halliday open with Google’s new Gemini desktop app, comparing its current limitations and strengths against Claude and ChatGPT while also debating whether users will ultimately live inside AI apps or pull models into their own preferred workflows. The discussion expands into Mac versus PC hardware, Gemini CLI, Codex, and how desktop, terminal, and IDE experiences are beginning to merge. In the second half, Beth shares a hands-on test of Perplexity’s tax-document workflow and what it revealed about falling compute costs and growing trust in computer-use agents. The episode closes with Anthropic’s surprise release of Claude Opus 4.7 during the live show and a playful but revealing look at Higgsfield and Seedance for AI-generated marketing videos.
