Useful research from Andreessen Horowitz on the top 100 GenAI consumer apps (using data on monthly active users from SimilarWeb and Sensor Tower). One notable insight from the a16z team was that apps where hallucination was more of a “feature” than a “bug” are seeing outsized uptake. While that is undoubtedly driven by some hallucination risk aversion, I think it speaks primarily to the fact that creativity and ideation are just an easier, “take what you will and leave the rest” set of use cases, with little to no commitment or reliance required. For things central to core workflows, along with increased reliability, it will require much greater mindset and behavior change to really drive sustained usage.

Recently Google released #NotebookLM, an AI-powered research tool that helps users to consume complex information more effectively. You can submit documents and engage with them interactively: creating FAQs, study guides, etc., and asking specific questions. BUT WHAT I FIND ABSOLUTELY BONKERS is a feature that enables you to transform the submitted document into a short Podcast! Not only do the two "moderators'" voices sound incredibly real, but the way they interact with one another and how they can pitch their voices so naturally and have humour, personality... it's mesmerizing! Of course, I gave it a try so, I submitted the #Onlinehändlerbefragung von der #ZHAW & #FHNW. A study that highlights the benefits and challenges of AI in E-Commerce and shows the dynamics and challenges of the industry in Switzerland. The document was originally written in German, but it has been translated into English using the only available language of the tool. You can access the Podcast here: https://lnkd.in/dQHEwriD Well done, Google 🙌

Elomia got featured in a podcast, have a listen! And by featured I mean that I put our pitch deck into Google's NotebookLM and had it generate a 10 minute podcast. AI helped me with the cover art too ;) The good: The fact that something this listenable was generated from a 15 slide deck in under 5 minutes is impressive. For somebody who cannot see/read, I would be happy to have this 10 minutes of audio represent our brand and mission. The bad: Podcasters can be happy that it lacks a little punch to make it deeply engaging. I'm curious to see if this can be improved over time. The funny: We have a slide in our deck that goes over the 4 co-founders. At 6:10, the AI gave really nice intros to 3/4 and then totally left out the last one. Clearly playing favorites! What do you think about it?

Today I came along something that I found very interesting, AI based podcasts on Spotify from Perplexity AI. It is an extremely impressive and advanced way of using AI to communicate but I wanted to consider both sides of an argument here. While AI based podcasts may be more efficient in dispensing specific and certain knowledge and are more effective in posting, does it have the same audience connection and can it be curated in the same style as a video/real life based podcast? https://lnkd.in/gW_Vd8-6

Ep 162 of the Near Memo podcast/vblog w/ David Mihm Greg Sterling & moi W look at the impact and import of Google’s current SERPS, and where they might be going: - Expanding Local Results in SERPS, - Cluttered SERP Reduce Organic Traffic - AI Overviews Worsen Search 👇Link below

We look at the ever growing impact of local in the SERPS, how the current SERPS are effectively nuking organic traffic in local and how the Google AIO continue to degrade the search results despite Google's efforts to minimize their skankiness.

Just 12% of CSCOs and COOs describe their global supply chain’s digital maturity as 100% digital, according to Zero100’s Rewired 2030 research. One of the leading areas to accelerate digital connectivity is in planning, and we sat down with Google’s Paula Natoli to chat about exactly this. How can we think about importing more consumer data and using AI to yield new insights? Check out Paula’s #TheZero100Podcast full episode to know more, available now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify now 👇    Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/eSQgMy-d Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e64BzC6v #SupplyChainData #DataAnalytics #Google

In this week's Near Media podcast we talk about how Google is really pushing local data in Europe (Mike Blumenthal's "infinity pack"), how the Google SERP has become like -- choose your metaphor here -- the Las Vegas strip (and I don't mean that in a good way) and how AI Overviews represent a fundamental challenge for the company (per Jess Peck). As a bonus, at the end, we work out how Google should handle AIOs going forward (no, not eliminate them completely, although David Mihm wouldn't mind that). Hint: like healthcare info.

With a name like Futuri, we are always on the leading edge of emerging technology and important trends. Daniel’s keynote will have valuable information. Not going to the NAB Show? Let’s talk after and I’ll share the research with you. #AI #opportunity
