Summary

Chris and Pratik break down three bold claims from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's latest keynote — that every company needs an agentic AI strategy, that imagination is the bottleneck (not compute), and that token usage should be a performance metric. They push back on the hype, debate whether small businesses or enterprises stand to gain more from autonomous agents right now, and land on a striking idea from a developer friend: English is the new coding language. The conversation shifts from theory to practice as both hosts share how they're actually using AI at home — from Chris wiring his diabetes sensor into Apple Health through an AI-powered shortcut, to Pratik feeding his entire house (floor plans, HOA bylaws, and all) into Gemini so he can literally talk to his home. If you're wondering what an "agentic strategy" looks like beyond the buzzwords, this is the episode.
