Brendan breaks down how Classify helps machines understand content at a deeper, more human-like level—and why that matters for everything from advertising to autonomous agents.</p><p>They also dive into how AI is reshaping small teams, why agents still struggle with consistency, and what’s really happening behind the scenes as infrastructure evolves.
