Future in Focus: AI Tools & Big Tech

Episode 10: Future in Focus: AI Tools & Big Tech


This week on Built This Week, Jordan Metzner and Sam Nadler unveil the AI image platform they’ve been building from scratch at Ryz Labs, powered by Gemini’s new “nano-banana” update and other AI models. Designed to deliver faster, cleaner, and more customizable visuals, it pushes image generation beyond today’s mainstream tools. Then, they put Gamma under the spotlight, a presentation app that reimagines how decks and docs are created with AI at the core. In the AI news rundown: Google’s Gemini image model gets a “bananas” upgrade, Will Smith faces backlash over suspiciously AI-generated tour footage, and Anthropic launches a Claude AI agent embedded directly into Chrome, raising big questions about the future of browsers.
