Summary: Clawdbot, the AI assistant that's been making waves as a proactive helper you can chat to via WhatsApp, has been forced to rebrand as Moltbot after Anthropic sent them a cease and desist. The name was just too similar to Claude (as in Claude Sonnet from Anthropic), and when you say them out loud they're basically identical. Anthropic had to protect their trademark - it's not them being evil, it's just how IP law works. If you don't defend your trademarks consistently, it weakens your position later when you actually need to enforce them. Disney and Nintendo do this aggressively for the same reason.
The poor creator, Peter, has had an absolutely mental week - not only dealing with the rebrand but also getting his GitHub hacked and scammers setting up fake crypto coins in his name. The tool itself is brilliant though, it's basically the Jarvis or Siri we were promised years ago but never got. I've put together a full installation guide over on the website because it's genuinely worth trying out. The new name Moltbot comes from how lobsters shed their shells to grow, which is actually quite clever when you think about it.

First aired: 26 January 2026
Summary: ClawdBot is currently trending everywhere on AI Twitter, and honestly, I get why. I'm usually pretty skeptical of AI hype—seen too much of it—but after spending a few days with this thing, it's genuinely impressive. It's a persistent AI assistant that actually reaches out to you proactively via WhatsApp (or Telegram, Slack, whatever you fancy). No more going to the AI and asking it to do things; it just... does them. Checks in with you. Reminds you about tasks. Works 24/7 in the background. It's the closest thing we've had to that Jarvis fantasy everyone keeps banging on about, and it took me about 20 minutes to set up.
The main thing I wanted to cover here is cutting through the absolute nonsense you're seeing from influencers telling everyone to rush out and buy a £1000 Mac Mini to run this. Complete rubbish. You can run ClawdBot on an old laptop gathering dust in your cupboard, or just rent a server for $5 a month like I did. I walk through the actual setup, show you what it can do, talk about the safety considerations (because yes, there are risks if you're not careful), and try to give you a realistic picture of whether this is worth your time. It's early days, but this feels like one of those moments where things actually shift a bit.

Summary: At the World Economic Forum in Davos, we got a proper sit-down between two of the most important people in AI right now: Demis Hassabis from Google DeepMind and Dario Amodei from Anthropic. These are the guys building what are arguably the best models in the world, so when they talk about AGI timelines, it's worth paying attention. Dario's going aggressive, predicting we'll hit Nobel laureate-level AI by 2026 or 2027 — which, if you've noticed, means potentially this year. His reasoning centres on self-improving loops, where AI can now code and improve AI, creating this recursive cycle. Demis is more cautious but still gave it a 50/50 chance by the end of the decade, noting we're still missing some capabilities around scientific creativity and physical experimentation. Either way, both reckon it's coming sooner than most people think. Meanwhile, Claude Code is properly breaking into the mainstream. The Wall Street Journal ran a piece on what they're calling "getting Claude-pilled" — that moment when people first use it and realize just how capable it actually is. Even Jensen Huang at Nvidia picked it up at Davos, saying Anthropic made a huge leap in coding and reasoning, and that every software company needs to use it. I've only had that watershed feeling a few times in AI — when ChatGPT first dropped, when Gemini's NotebookLM nailed images with text, and now with Claude Code. It's genuinely that significant, and it's brilliant seeing it get the recognition it deserves.

First aired: 21 January 2026
Summary: I spent an hour and a half walking through Greg Eisenberg's playbook for making $10 million rebuilding mobile apps with AI, and honestly, the timing couldn't be better. The basic idea is brilliantly simple: find apps that people are already paying for but absolutely hate (think those dodgy remote control apps with 50 million downloads and reviews screaming about intrusive ads), then use Claude Code to rebuild them properly. The technical barrier that used to require hiring a dev team or finding a co-founder has basically evaporated. I demonstrated this myself last week when I got so annoyed trying to copy a URL to my Android TV that I built my own app in 15 minutes out of spite.
The whole session covers the practical steps—using tools like Appify and FoxData instead of expensive options like Sensor Tower, finding apps with high revenue but terrible reviews, and actually building the thing with vibe coding tools. I also touched on the elephant in the room: this is genuinely exciting for entrepreneurs but absolutely terrifying for traditional developers. There's a wonderful piece by Alberta Tech comparing it to vibe violinists suddenly being able to play beautiful music without formal training. The guide itself is going in tomorrow's newsletter with all the resources, alternative tools, and the full breakdown of Greg's method.

126: Today in AI: ChatGPT Adds Ads, OpenAI's $750B IPO, Build Apps in Minutes with Claude Code

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle Live Stream’ First aired: 20 January 2026
Summary: OpenAI finally pulled the trigger on what we all knew was coming—ads in ChatGPT. They've hired advertising execs, they're gearing up for a potentially $750 billion IPO, and frankly, they need the revenue. The interesting bit is how they're rolling it out: free and ChatGPT Go tiers get ads (yes, even if you're paying for Go), whilst Plus, Pro, and Enterprise users remain ad-free for now. They're being very careful with the messaging, lots of "user trust" and "transparency" talk, which tells me they know this is a delicate dance. The thing that amuses me is their claim that ads won't "influence" responses—that's literally what adverts do. They influence. Just because the text doesn't change doesn't mean a strategically placed ad isn't doing its job.
The broader point here is that OpenAI is becoming what everyone becomes: an advertising company. Google's 60-70% ads, Meta's 99% ads—they're not tech companies first, they're ad platforms that happen to do clever tech things. With nearly a billion users, OpenAI can't ignore that revenue stream, especially when they're trying to justify valuations that would make this one of the largest IPOs in history. On a completely different note, we're also seeing absurdly easy app development now—I literally rebuilt a £3/month app in an hour using Claude Code. The barrier isn't building anymore, it's marketing and distribution, which is both exciting and terrifying depending on which side of the equation you're on.

First aired: 16 January 2026
Summary: Just landed back in the UK and immediately dove into what might be Google's most underrated AI product: NotebookLM. Honestly, it's baffling how few people know about this thing. It's completely free, works brilliantly for learning or teaching any subject, and here's the kicker—it actually generates accurate presentations with proper text in images, something that was basically impossible six months ago. The secret is it works exclusively from your own curated sources rather than just pulling from the internet like ChatGPT or Claude, which means you get focused, reliable outputs instead of generic AI slop. I walked through the whole workflow: adding sources, using the chat feature, generating study guides, and creating those surprisingly good presentations using Google's Imagen 3.
We also took a bit of a tangent into the broader Google AI ecosystem because someone asked about learning to code for free. Google AI Studio is genuinely excellent for this—you can build apps, experiment with their latest models like Gemini 2.0, and they've just released some translation models that would be perfect for language learning apps. Yes, the really powerful stuff like Claude Code costs $100-200 monthly, but if you're building something charitable or educational, all the major AI companies have grant programs. The whole Google suite is surprisingly robust, even if they do have a habit of killing products off (RIP Google Reader, still not over it).

First aired: 14 January 2026
Summary: My post about vibe coding absolutely exploded yesterday—we're talking 300,000 views across Instagram and TikTok, and a lot of people are genuinely upset about it. I wanted to take some time to properly explain what vibe coding actually is and why it's touching such a nerve with developers. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy, one of the co-creators of ChatGPT, and it's essentially this new way of building software where you just... vibe with AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor, describing what you want in natural language rather than actually writing code yourself. You don't read the diffs anymore, you accept everything, and when something breaks you just paste the error message back in with no comment. It's wild, it's powerful, and it's terrifying if you've spent 20 years learning to code properly.
I shared this brilliant piece from Alberta Tech that uses the perfect metaphor—imagine training your whole life to be a violinist, then 700 people walk in off the street claiming they're "vibe violinists" who can barely hold the instrument. Then one day, horrifyingly, you hear one of them play something beautiful. That's the existential dread developers are feeling right now. It's perfectly reasonable to be upset when AI tools threaten to automate your entire career, especially when the barrier to entry has collapsed so dramatically. Anthropic just released Claude Code yesterday, and honestly, if you can afford the $200/month plan and you've got ideas you want to build, it's probably the best investment you can make right now. The future is coming whether we like it or not, and coding might just be the canary in the coal mine for how AI disrupts every other industry.

First aired: 13 January 2026
Summary: Apple just announced they're partnering with Google to power the next generation of Siri with Gemini models, and honestly, it's wild. These are two massive competitors—Apple with iOS, Google with Android—and they've historically been at each other's throats. But Apple's basically admitted defeat here, handing over the foundation of their AI to Google because their own attempts (Apple Intelligence, those dodgy AirPod translations, the lackluster Genmoji) have been absolutely rubbish. Steve Jobs would be furious. This goes against everything Apple stood for—the closed ecosystem, the walled garden, building everything in-house. For years, Apple fans like myself kept saying "just wait, they're working on something big," but we never saw the massive data center investments or GPU spending you'd expect. This partnership is the final nail in the coffin. Apple missed the boat on AI, and now they're asking their biggest competitor to bail them out.
The deal means future Apple Intelligence features and Siri will be powered by Google's Gemini models, though Apple insists everything will still run on-device with their privacy standards intact. Which is fine, but let's be honest—Chat GPT has 900 million users, so clearly most people don't actually care that much about privacy. The real question is whether Apple will neuter Gemini the way Microsoft neutered ChatGPT with Copilot, adding so many guardrails it becomes useless. Time will tell. Also covered Claude's new co-work feature that makes Claude Code accessible to non-technical people, which could be bad news for companies like Manus but brilliant if you've been intimidated by coding tools. Plus some thoughts on actually preparing yourself for the AI future rather than just panicking about it.

This video is from the ‘AI with Kyle Live Stream’
First aired: 12 January 2026
Summary: Anthropic's had enough of everyone profiting off Claude Code being the best coding agent out there, and they've started pulling access from competitors and third-party tools. The drama kicked off when they blocked services like Open Code from letting users connect their $200/month Claude subscriptions to access the API—which is a massive bargain compared to paying per token through the official API, which could run into thousands. It's a classic case of "we've got the best product, so we're taking our ball and going home," and whilst it's caused some upset in the developer community, you can't really blame them for protecting their advantage.
The absolute highlight though is that Elon Musk's xAI team—creators of Grok—got caught red-handed using Claude Code internally instead of their own AI. Elon's been banging on for months about how Grok is the best coding model, but turns out his own engineers don't even use it. Their co-founder had to send out a memo basically saying "yeah, we're screwed on productivity now, we need to build our own tools." Meanwhile, OpenAI jumped in with a very convenient "we'd never restrict access like Claude" statement, which is easy to say when you're not on top. The power dynamics in AI are shifting fast, and Anthropic's clearly feeling confident enough to flex their muscles.

Summary: Alright, so instead of the usual AI news roundup, I've put together something a bit different today—a proper learning roadmap for 2026. Basically answered the question that came up in my webinar: how do you actually learn this stuff well enough to feel confident talking about it? I've curated a bunch of resources starting with the fun stuff like Casually Explained and Veritasium, then moving into Three Blue One Brown's neural networks series (which is brilliant but definitely requires your full attention on a treadmill or something). The key thing is you don't need to understand the maths to use AI, but if you're teaching it or just want to separate the possible from the impossible, knowing the basics is absolutely crucial.
The whole guide is up on my website now with all the links, videos, and books I recommend. I've also been banging on about Notebook LM again because it's genuinely transformative—you can feed it any YouTube video and have it create a podcast explaining the concepts back to you. It's how I learn now. Oh, and we got into a bit of a discussion about the "messy middle" of AI disruption too. Even in the best-case utopian scenario, the next couple decades are going to be chaotic for a lot of people, which is why I'm focused on getting a million people AI-ready rather than just telling them not to worry about it.
