New AI Rankings, FIgure's Helix, and Scam Defense

Brian, Beth, Andy, Karl, and first-time guest Danielle Lafleur open with an introduction to Danielle and her work at Easy as Pie. The show then moves into news, starting with Figure’s latest home-tidying humanoid robot demo before shifting to Anthropic’s lawsuit against the Department of War and Andreessen Horowitz’s latest consumer AI rankings. In the back half, the hosts return to Danielle’s personal news: her team won a hackathon and received seed funding to build Bernie, a text-based anti-scam tool designed to help older adults identify suspicious messages. The episode closes with discussion of the Bernie waitlist, future language support, and the rest of the week’s Daily AI Show programming.
