Five Issues. Five Times the Obvious Take Was Wrong.

Entry-level jobs, burnout, AI agents, ads inside your chatbot — this week's biggest stories all flipped the script everyone expected. The whole week in one scroll, and this time every issue comes with a 3-minute video. Tap any title to read, or hit ▶ to watch.

700+ teams have Viktor reading their Google Ads every morning.

Your strategist reviews spend trends. Your account manager checks revenue attribution. Same Slack channel, same colleague, before anyone's first coffee.

Google Ads, Meta, Stripe. One message. No Looker, no Data Studio. Anomaly detection runs around the clock. Cross-platform reporting runs on autopilot.

5,700+ teams. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

Wednesday — Why the People Best at AI Are Burning Out First

A Berkeley Haas study of 200 employees found AI intensified work instead of lightening it — email time doubled, deep-focus sessions fell 9%. AI quietly deleted the "boring" busywork that was secretly recharging people. The fix is one deliberate move. ▶ Watch the 3-min version →

Thursday — Your AI Chatbot Just Became a Salesman

Google started embedding ads directly inside Gemini's answers — no banner, no clicking away, the conversation itself is now the ad. Here's what changes about how you read AI output the moment the answer is also a pitch. ▶ Watch the 3-min version →

Friday — Why You're About to Pay for the Wrong AI Agent

Three 24/7 AI agents just landed at once. The $100-a-month one is the version most people will instinctively grab — and usually the worst fit for how they actually work. We mapped which agent matches which kind of busywork. ▶ Watch the 3-min version →
