Kev the Yowie returns as we unpack the latest in AI trends, Google’s Gemini V3, OpenAI’s new business features, and Perplexity’s research mode. We dive into AI adoption in Australia, explore how Perplexity outperforms in real-world research comparison tests, and showcase our entry into the world’s largest AI hackathon. Plus, we reveal how ambient agents and agentic workflows are quietly reshaping knowledge work and how businesses can futureproof their operations.
