Google's new enterprise AI play

PLUS: Patients control AI and robotics with thought

October 10, 2025

Good morning, AI enthusiasts. The enterprise AI wars just got real — and Google's making a new $30-per-month bet that simplicity wins.

With a new Gemini platform positioning itself as the "front door for AI in the workplace" and Amazon dropping its own similar play on the same day, tech giants are all racing to own the one thing that matters: how companies actually integrate AI.

Reminder: Our next live workshop is today at 4 PM EST! Join and learn more about OpenAI’s new AgentKit and how it compares to other AI agent builders like Zapier and n8n. RSVP here.

In today’s AI rundown:

Google’s unified workplace AI platform
Warp CEO Zach Lloyd on why AI won’t replace devs
Use Comet to save time on social media
Survey: AI adoption grows, but distrust in AI news remains
4 new AI tools, community workflows, and more

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

GOOGLE

🤖 Google’s unified workplace AI platform

Image source: Google

The Rundown: Google just released Gemini Enterprise, bundling its workplace AI offerings into a single platform where employees can create, deploy, and manage agents without coding experience.

The details:

The platform combines no-code agent builders with ready-made assistants for tasks like research, coding, and customer service.
It connects securely to company data across platforms and apps, with an agent marketplace offering thousands of partner-built solutions.
The Enterprise tier comes in at $30/mo per user, with a cheaper $21/mo Business tier featuring less cloud storage and features.

Why it matters: Google and Amazon (with Quick Suite) both made AI platform plays today, betting that companies want agents embedded directly in their workflows, not isolated in separate apps. The enterprise battle is quickly shifting from who has the best models to who can eliminate the most friction.

WARP

🎤 Warp CEO Zach Lloyd on why AI won’t replace devs

The Rundown: Rowan sat down with Warp CEO Zach Lloyd for an exclusive interview at OpenAI’s Dev Day 2025 event, challenging the narrative that AI will replace programmers and discussing how his company is building for enterprise complexity instead of the vibe coding movement.

On the divide between hobbyist and professional tools: "Vibe coding tools are great, but they're more like the next WordPress or SquareSpace. Warp is focused on helping professionals build the most important, complex software."

On AI replacing developers: "I'd kill the narrative that AI is replacing developers or that people shouldn't study computer science. That's terrible advice. In a future where everyone competes against AI, you want to be the person who knows how to use the tool, not the one replaced by it."

The real challenge with enterprise AI: "The complexity of their environment. Pros work in huge codebases. Most AI demos you see are small web apps in TypeScript. Real enterprise software is messy, massive, and full of context spread across files and people's heads."

Why it matters: Lloyd's "anti-vibe coding" philosophy exposes an overlooked truth: AI tools that generate flashy demos grab headlines, but the unsexy work of navigating enterprise complexity is where vibe coding’s Achilles heel is — with developers that know how to use AI amplifying their skills, not being replaced by the tech completely.

AI TRAINING

☄️ Use Comet to save time on social media

The Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Perplexity Comet, an AI browser that can read and summarize, to take action on any webpage content without copying and pasting — for everything from Twitter threads to YouTube videos.

Step-by-step:

Download Perplexity Comet as a separate app for Mac or Windows
Navigate to any Twitter/X thread or YouTube video and click the Assistant button in the top right
Prompt examples: "Summarize this thread," "Explain SaaS flipping in simple terms," or "Write a motivational post about having a great day"
Review AI-generated summaries or drafted posts before Comet posts them to your social accounts

Pro tip: Use Comet on long-form YouTube content like Lex Fridman podcasts to get key insights in minutes, then ask follow-up questions to clarify technical concepts.

AI RESEARCH

📰 Survey: AI adoption grows, but distrust in AI news remains

Image source: Reuters Institute

The Rundown: A new survey from the Reuters Institute across six countries revealed that weekly AI usage habits are both changing in scope and have nearly doubled from last year, though the public remains highly skeptical of the tech’s use in news content.

The details:

Info seeking was reported as the new dominant use case, with 24% using AI for research and questions compared to 21% for generating text, images, or code.
ChatGPT maintains a heavy usage lead, while Google and Microsoft's integrated offerings in search engines expose 54% of users to AI summaries.
Only 12% feel comfortable with fully AI-produced news content, while 62% prefer entirely human journalism, with the trust gap widening from 2024.
The survey gauged sentiment on AI use in various sectors, with healthcare, science, and search ranked positively and news and politics rated negatively.

Why it matters: This data exposes an interesting dynamic, with users viewing AI as a useful personal tool but a threat to institutional credibility in journalism — putting news outlets and publishers in a tough spot of trying to compete against the very systems their readers embrace daily in ChatGPT and AI-fueled search engines.

COMMUNITY

🤝 Community AI workflows

Every newsletter, we showcase how a reader is using AI to work smarter, save time, or make life easier.

Today’s workflow comes from reader S. Richards in Toronto, Canada:

"My Crossfit gym does a nutrition challenge every September. This year, the focus was on unprocessed foods, hitting protein goals, and no sugar. There was an amazing PDF that explained all the dos and don'ts — what was allowed and what to look for on ingredient labels. I created a GPT with this info and some additional resources to allow me to take a photo of any food product or recipe, break down if it was compliant, and if not, suggest an alternative available at my preferred stores or rewrite the recipe.”
