007 - Apple Blinked. Google Won. Small Business Still Has a Shot.

In Episode 007 of The AI Strategy Show, McIntosh and Kenshin dig into Apple’s WWDC announcements, the disappointment around missing hardware news, and why Apple’s unified memory architecture still matters for the future of local AI. The conversation turns into a broader look at the coming battle between Apple, Nvidia, and the rest of the AI hardware market — especially as small and medium-sized businesses eventually look for ways to run capable AI systems locally instead of renting everything from the cloud forever.The episode also covers Apple’s deeper reliance on Google’s AI technology, the frustration of building apps inside Apple and Google’s locked-down ecosystems, and OpenAI’s continued expansion of Codex beyond developer-only workflows. McIntosh also highlights Graphify, a tool that builds searchable graphs of codebases and documents to reduce agent token usage and improve workflow efficiency. The bigger theme: the AI stack is moving from hype into infrastructure, and the businesses that win will be the ones that turn these tools into practical, repeatable systems.Newshttps://github.com/safishamsi/graphifyMusic CreditsKazuki TokajiLive for TomorrowShow Sponsorhttps://arx-labs.com
