## Resource

Alex: Hello and welcome to The Generative AI Group Digest for the week of 26 April 2026! Maya: We're Alex and Maya. Alex: [excited] And wow, this week was packed. We had everything from AI agents in meetings, to chip-speed demos, to model launches, outages, pricing drama, and even some real-world security panic. Maya: Let’s start with one of the most interesting ideas: AI that doesn’t just take notes, but actually joins the meeting. Alex: Alessandro Davide Ialongo kicked that off with a very human wish: an AI agent with a video avatar that could listen to a meeting and interrupt with useful thoughts, like a human engineer or designer would. Maya: That’s a big shift, right? Not just “summarize what happened,” but “help us think while we’re talking.” Alex: Exactly. And Alessandro said he even tried building this a year ago. The catch was voice AI being, as he put it, “forced to respond to everything it hears.” Maya: That’s such a useful insight for non-technical folks. If an assistant is always reacting, it becomes noisy instead of helpful. Alex: Right. He tried a hack where the assistant had a “take notes by default” tool, and only spoke when asked. It worked a bit, but it was brittle. Maya: So the real lesson is not “build a louder bot,” it’s “build a bot with better timing and restraint.” Alex: And that matters for meetings, customer support, even research calls. The best assistant may be the one that knows when to stay quiet. Maya: Practical takeaway: if you’re designing an AI helper, give it a default silent mode and a clear trigger to speak. That’s much closer to how good teammates behave. Alex: Another huge thread was speed. Alessandro shared chatjimmy.ai and said it was doing 16,000 tokens per second. Maya: That sounds ridiculous in the best way. Alex: [laughs] I…
