For over a decade, our digital lives have been lived in silos, opening one app to check a flight, another to pay a friend, and a third to send a message. But we are entering a new era where the 'app' as we know it is becoming invisible.

Today, I am joined by a true pioneer of this shift.

Div is a Stanford AI researcher and the founder of AGI, Inc., a neolab that is teaching our devices not just to talk to us, but to act for us. After founding MultiOn, one of the first companies to build web-based agents, Div is now working at the hardware level with giants like Qualcomm and Lenovo to build on-device intelligence that understands your screen as well as you do.

In this episode, we’re going deep into the Agentic Smartphone. 

We’ll discuss:

  • Why the 'App Store' economy might be facing its biggest disruption yet.
  • The critical balance between total AI agency and your personal privacy.
  • And how new chipsets are turning your phone from a passive tool into a proactive coworker.
  • If you’ve ever wondered what happens when AI graduates from a chatbot to a 'do-bot,' this is the conversation for you.
