How AI can change accounting: Agents & LangGraph
Download MP3Alright folks, buckle up because Episode 20 is here, and the AI world has been busy! Just like us hitting this big milestone, the pace of innovation isn't letting up. We kick things off by putting ourselves to the test with a hilarious and high-stakes game: Blind Ranking 10 AI Chat Apps. Who will reign supreme? Will we agree on the top spots, or will a surprise contender emerge from the digital shadows? Tune in to hear our spontaneous takes as we build the list live, one mystery app at a time!
But the fun doesn't stop there. We dive headfirst into the whirlwind of major model releases that dropped faster than we could type – think OpenAI's latest O-series, Google's killer Gemini updates, and even Grok stepping up its game. Forget the dry benchmarks; we're talking about the "vibes" and real-world performance. Then, Bennett pulls back the curtain on a powerful framework he's been mastering, LangGraph, revealing how it can automate complex, multi-step processes (yes, even in accounting!). Could this be the key to building smarter AI agents and reshaping professional workflows? Plus, we share our can't-miss bookmarks, including a peek at a coding tool claiming superhuman results and another that magically turns boring documents into engaging podcasts. Don't miss this jam-packed episode!
