Voice AI, Nano Banana & the 95% Failure Rate of AI Projects

Is voice the real future of AI? Tom and Justin dig into Assembly AI, Whisper Flow, and why typing might already be outdated. We also get into the banana-shaped elephant in the room: Google’s new Nano Banana model, a tiny but scary-good image editor that could replace half of Photoshop.

But here’s the kicker: MIT says 95% of AI projects fail. We break down why, which departments actually should automate, and which ones you should absolutely keep away from AI (spoiler: don’t trust it with your finance team).

If you’ve ever wondered whether AI should talk to your customers, design your ads, or just stay in its lane, this one’s for you.
