Google vs Apple AI Phones / Microsoft Excels / Agentic Browsers / Robot Ping-Pong / RtoA #9

Описание: 👉 EngX Space: https://engx.space/
In this episode of The Road to Abundance, Gordon Mullan and Govind Shukla take on one of the most heated weeks in tech and AI. From the Google Pixel 10 vs. Apple iPhone 17 showdown to Microsoft finally putting real AI power into Excel, the race to dominate the future of devices and productivity tools is getting intense.
The conversation also digs into the promise — and risks — of agentic browsers that act on your behalf online, raising big questions about privacy, autonomy, and safety. And to end on a lighter (but no less fascinating) note: meet your robot ping-pong partner — a glimpse at the playful side of robotics.
And don’t forget — you can find previous episodes of The Road to Abundance on the ENGX SPACE YouTube channel:
