First, Mike leads a quick thread on the most likely paths to AI-driven automation for SMBs. This emanated from some recent interviews (including on this podcast) he conducted with leaders in the website space. These were focused on how website builders are empowering SMBs with AI tools.

Furthering the automation theme, Charles then raised the specter of robots and drones delivering goods to our homes. It may seem like this notion has gone nowhere in recent months and years. Yet some of the biggest names in retail and tech appear determined to make it happen.
