Meta Business Agent Goes Global, OpenAI Codex Pivot, Instagram AI Hack

Listen on Spotify

Show notes

In this episode, we cover Meta's global launch of its Business Agent across WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, and OpenAI's pivot of Codex from a coding tool into a general productivity platform now serving millions of weekly users. We also break down a troubling security incident where Instagram's AI support chatbot was reportedly tricked into helping attackers take over accounts, and the UK's landmark ruling forcing Google to let publishers opt out of AI Overviews and AI Mode while remaining in regular Search. From agentic commerce and knowledge work to AI safety failures and publisher leverage against Google, we unpack what each shift means for users, developers, and the broader AI ecosystem.
