Host Jack King on a day the AI vendor and channel map lurched under go-to-market teams: a public model price war, a five-on-two fight over the plumbing for AI agents, a brand-new intent ad channel landing inside the CRM, and generative media getting frictionless just as EU disclosure rules go live.
