What milestones have been celebrated in episode 700?

Brian 0:00

Hey, what's going on, everybody? Today is April 10th, 2026. This is the Daily AI Show, and today is episode 700. We made it. We're here. We like the, I know, it's crazy, right? It's crazy. By the way, Andy and Beth are here with me today. I think it's just the three of us, unfortunately, kind of a bummer that just the three of us could make it on number 700, but we'll catch up with them. Maybe we'll get Carl and we'll get Jimmy in here. We'll talk about it maybe next Wednesday or whatever. But we like to celebrate when we hit the hundreds. I think that's kind of our thing. I guess maybe 1,000 will go a little bit bigger in another year or so. But when we hit these little milestones, big milestones... It's fun to just chat about and discuss because now at this point, we're hitting what two and a half years August, I think would be three years since we started the show.

Brian 0:56

So yeah, it's kind of crazy. In fact, I was chatting with somebody you'd introduced me to Andy, and And while we're talking about that, we're like, oh, how do we know Andy? Right. And it was it was like, well, I've never met him in person, but I have talked to him more than some people in my life over the last over the last two and a half years. So, hey, Carl. Hey, happy 700. Yes. Love it. All right. We got Carl here, too. Fantastic. Okay, so today I think we'll change things up just a little bit. I mean, I still think let's leave a little time at the top for any quick AI news we want to get in before the weekend hits because there's stuff developing every single day. But then what I did, I was telling Beth and Andy right before we went live,

Brian 1:44

What I did was I used Perplexity's computer and pretty quickly said, look, I want to have a timeline, a journey to go on with our live audience over the last two and a half years of generative AI. not about our show or our topics per se, but just what we would have been talking about over that time. And it put together this nice sort of journey all the way through from what's coming next, predictive, obviously, but even where some of the models are, the pricing, What they were able to do two and a half years ago versus what they are to do today. So I thought it'd be fun for all of us. And there's quite a few little like tidbits through there. So it'll be fun for us to, you know, for like, hey, Carl, what do you remember this?

Brian 2:28

Or what do you think about that? Or, you know, just to get people's opinion of like where it's going and stuff. So if you guys are game for that, I am. And yeah, we'll kind of we'll kind of get into this. But why don't we just do a quick round? We'll try to keep it quick. Because I think this 700 journey here is going to take the most of the show. But Andy, you were saying you did actually have something, not about me using Perplexity Computer, but you said you had some news about Perplexity?

Andy 2:54

Yeah, yeah. So Perplexity Computer just released a connection using the Plaid integration platform to... Pretty much Plaid connects to any financial institution out there and all the credit card providers, all the banks, all of that. So now Perplexity is offering to you using Perplexity Computer a complete financial management system for your household. Yes. so currently major investment firms retail traders and six of the magnificent seven use perplexity for financial work now that's their marketing uh you know pitch to say we've we've trialed and tested this with lots of major players and perplexity is a major financial management platform so it's also now becoming a personal finance system for you so uh

Andy 3:54

The financial network called Plaid securely links to your bank accounts, credit cards and loans. And I use Plaid all the time. Anytime I have to. You've probably seen it when you're asked to connect to some institution in order to get the information. It does a Plaid connection and they have a really smooth way of doing that. Anyway, so they connect to thousands of your financial institutions and it'll create, Perplexity Computer will now create automagically a complete financial picture for your entire household.
