Episode We Don't Talk About Grok Cover

We Don't Talk About Grok

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, and the guys think it has nothing to do with the $40M — it's pure Dr. Evil energy. World domination doesn't come cheap, but apparently it might come with a refund. The bigger story? Anthropic and OpenAI just launched partner networks for consultants... and then immediately announced they're building their own consulting arms. Cool timing, guys. Chris and Pratik dig into what this actually means for the consulting world, whether the "AI is killing jobs" narrative holds up against what these companies are signaling, and why the gap between a working pilot and a working product is where all the real opportunity lives. They also get into the honest stuff: what does a sustainable consulting career look like when the tools keep changing? Spoiler — it's less about picking the right platform and more about never being too attached to the last one.

Episode AI Overlords, Shoe Companies, and Dryer Vents Cover

AI Overlords, Shoe Companies, and Dryer Vents

What happens when you lock two AI models in a room with no memory and tell them to talk? Pratik found out — and things got weird fast. We kick off with his deep dive into multi-agent LLMs, complete with unsanctioned starship roleplay, a 150-turn identity crisis, and an accidental recreation of OpenClaw. Then we pivot to a shoe company that pivoted to AI, watched its stock jump 600-700% overnight, and may or may not have a plan. We dig into why that's either genius or tulip-level mania — you decide. From there, Pratik makes a compelling case for why the future of AI might be a lot of small, culturally-specific models rather than one model to rule them all. Then we get into our new segment, Use Case Bonanza, where we get surprisingly practical: AI as your home repair coach, your sous chef, and your cooking co-pilot. Yes, we talk about dryer vents. Yes, it's actually interesting. Recorded while Pratik was on a food tour in Toronto (connection permitting lol).

Episode Is Anthropic Pulling Ahead? Cover

Is Anthropic Pulling Ahead?

Anthropic keeps shipping, and this week Tik and Chris try to make sense of the pace. They cover managed agents — what they are, who they're actually built for, and whether the cost makes sense for anything beyond a serious build. They also get into the rumored Mythos model, why Anthropic chose a controlled rollout over a public launch, and what Project Glasswing signals about where cybersecurity is headed. The conversation then turns to the partner program and what it really means to add Anthropic to your consulting toolkit. And through all of it, one question keeps coming up: OpenAI has been quiet — suspiciously quiet — and Tik and Chris aren't sure if that means they're falling behind or loading up for something big. If you've been trying to keep up with how fast this space is moving, this is a good episode to start with.

Episode The Window Is Closing (And We Called It) Cover

The Window Is Closing (And We Called It)

It's Pratik's birthday, and the best gift he gets is being right. Chris and Pratik kick things off debating AI's growing role in baseball's ball-and-strike review system — robots in the dugout, anyone? — before diving into why they started this podcast in the first place: the belief that AI puts a billion-dollar toolkit in the hands of literally anyone willing to pick it up. From the rise of the one-person unicorn company to how AI is quietly reshuffling the employer-employee relationship, this episode covers the big picture before getting tactical. Chris used AI to plan a family trip and the itinerary passed the ultimate stress test — the wife test. Pratik approves. Then the main event: they called it weeks ago, and now it's happening. Claude is throttling usage, Claude Code is hitting credit limits, and a suspiciously "helpful" new credits system showed up in everyone's inbox pre-enabled. Chris and Pratik break down the $20 and $8 pricing story behind how AI companies hooked the world — and why the bill is about to go up one way or another. The takeaway? Get in now, learn the tools now, so when the pricing rug gets pulled, you'll know if it's worth it. Oh, and the website is live :) 🎙️ tikandchrispodcast.com [http://tikandchrispodcast.com]

Episode English Is the New Code Cover

English Is the New Code

Chris and Pratik break down three bold claims from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's latest keynote — that every company needs an agentic AI strategy, that imagination is the bottleneck (not compute), and that token usage should be a performance metric. They push back on the hype, debate whether small businesses or enterprises stand to gain more from autonomous agents right now, and land on a striking idea from a developer friend: English is the new coding language. The conversation shifts from theory to practice as both hosts share how they're actually using AI at home — from Chris wiring his diabetes sensor into Apple Health through an AI-powered shortcut, to Pratik feeding his entire house (floor plans, HOA bylaws, and all) into Gemini so he can literally talk to his home. If you're wondering what an "agentic strategy" looks like beyond the buzzwords, this is the episode.
