AI Agents Are Taking Over: Amazon Blocks Perplexity, Gemini Orders Ubers, China Goes Crazy

AI agents are no longer just chatbots — they’re starting to order Ubers, shop online, run on personal computers 24/7, optimize ad systems, and even create new business models in China. In this episode of Neural Nest, we break down the biggest shifts happening in the agentic AI world right now. We start with India AI Pulse, an AI-first platform built to curate Indian AI news using a pipeline of multiple agents that gather, rank, cluster, verify, and publish articles with minimal human intervention. The team explains how the platform was designed to be useful not just for people, but for AI agents too. Then we get into the biggest stories: why OpenAI is reportedly consolidating products into a “super app” for enterprises, and how its newer low-cost models are being positioned for agent workflows how Perplexity’s Personal Computer tries to turn a Mac mini into a secure 24/7 AI agent, along with the debate around its bold productivity claims the legal and strategic implications of Amazon blocking Perplexity’s AI shopping agent how Google Gemini is bringing AI agents to phones so users can order food or book an Uber by voice, plus the privacy tradeoffs that come with deeper Gmail, Photos, and Calendar access Meta’s agent strategy, from ad-ranking agents to its acquisition of an AI-agent social network and the wild story of China’s OpenClaw boom, where “raising lobsters” became a national movement and even a kid reportedly got 700 setup orders. The big takeaway: AI agents are here, and this is probably the worst they will ever be — they only get better from here. #AI #AIAgents #OpenAI #GoogleGemini #Perplexity #MetaAI #AgenticAI #NeuralNest #ArtificialIntelligence #techpodcast 01:20 Intro: AI agents are everywhere 02:29 India AI Pulse: why we built it 04:07 How the AI news pipeline works 07:01 AI Boomi and building under pressure 08:45 Building an AI-agent-first platform 09:40 OpenAI’s “super app” push 11:45 OpenAI’s new low-cost agent models 14:22 Perplexity Person
