AI agents just built a complete web browser — 3 million lines of code — in ONE WEEK. But first, they failed spectacularly. The lesson? It's not about smarter AI. It's about smarter AI organization. Plus: OpenAI adds ads, Google mines your Gmail, and the UK makes deepfakes illegal overnight.


🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST

Malcolm Werchota has led AI workshops for executives at Microsoft, LGT, Raiffeisen, Swiss MedTech, and ENGEL — and runs AI adoption programs for companies across Europe. After 15 years in corporate roles across pharma and oil & gas on multiple continents — including Novartis and Schlumberger — he now helps leadership teams cut through AI hype and drive real adoption.

🚀 ABOUT WERCHOTA.AI

werchota.ai helps organizations turn AI from threat into competitive advantage. We believe AI adoption is a leadership challenge, not a technical one — and that it should amplify human capability, not replace it. People-first AI for companies ready to lead, not follow.
