Episode 72 - Understanding Agentic AI and Vibe Coding
Description
In this episode, Nathan and Scott talk about how quickly AI is changing the fundraising world. They look back at 2025 and think about what 2026 might bring. Nathan points out that no one expected AI to advance this quickly in just three years, and both agree that staying curious and adaptable is essential.
They share real examples, such as Nathan's young sons building apps, to show how easy it is to use AI tools. They also discuss AI's impact on jobs, with reports suggesting that nearly 12% of the US workforce could be affected.
A big part of the episode focuses on agentic AI—AI that can perform complex tasks on its own—and "vibe coding," which lets people build apps simply by talking to their computer. They also discuss Google's Gemini 3 and tools such as Notebook LM that make creating content faster and easier.
To wrap up, Nathan and Scott encourage listeners to stay open-minded, keep learning, and make the most of new AI opportunities as we head into 2026.
