Just in: 2026 marks AI's shift from hype to real-world deployment. Here's what changed overnight. 🚀 The industry is moving away from building ever-larger language models toward making AI genuinely usable. Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP)—often called "USB-C for "AI"—is becoming the standard, allowing AI agents to seamlessly connect with databases, APIs, and real business tools. What this means for founders & leaders: Your competitive edge isn't about having AI anymore—it's about deploying it effectively. AI agents are moving from demos into day-to-day practice, taking on system-of-record roles across industries.
