On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re talking about Microsoft’s latest breakthrough: the Majorana 1 chip. This new quantum processor uses a fresh design with topological qubits, which are built to be more stable and error-resistant. Microsoft believes this could pave the way for chips with millions of qubits, potentially solving huge problems in fields like materials science and environmental challenges. But experts warn that practical, error-free quantum computers are still a few steps away. Join us as we break down what the Majorana 1 really means for the future of computing.

Companies are doubling down on office time: Infosys is requiring more in-person days, California is bringing state workers back four days a week, and even Tokyo is testing a four-day work week. In today's episode, we’re talking about the benefits and the challenges, from boosting collaboration to the real stress these changes can bring. Join us for an honest, no-frills conversation about what these shifts mean for your work life.

EP 17 – The New Work Order: More in-person and fewer days?

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re digging into the fine line between healthy check-ins and micromanagement. When do regular updates start feeling like control freak energy? We unpack how good leaders keep teams aligned without hovering, and share simple ways to build trust, manage dependencies, and make check-ins actually useful, especially in remote and async setups.

EP 18 – Are your check-ins secretly micromanaging your team?

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re talking about Bret Victor’s powerful idea: what if you built your work around a principle instead of just following your passion? In his talk “Inventing on Principle,” Victor challenges creators to find something they believe is deeply right and let that guide everything they do. We explore how this mindset change can lead to more meaningful, innovative work, and why having a strong “why” might be more important than ever.

EP 19 – Inventing on principle

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we dig into Anthropic’s game-changing Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP promises to end the era of isolated language models by letting AIs securely plug into real-time tools and data with ease. From Zapier to Replit, early adopters are already betting big on this open standard. What does this mean for the future of AI apps, agent workflows, and tool interoperability? Pour yourself a coffee and join us for a deep dive into how MCP could reshape the current AI development landscape.

EP 20 – What’s the Model Context Protocol?

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re unpacking California’s new AI Copyright Transparency Act (A.B. 412) and the heated debate it’s sparked. The bill would force AI companies to disclose which copyrighted works were used to train their models, giving creators more visibility. Supporters say it’s a win for artists and writers. But critics warn it could crush smaller startups, lock in Big Tech’s advantage, and even risk exposing trade secrets. We break down what’s in the bill, who’s backing it, who’s fighting it, and what it could mean for the future of AI development.

EP 21 – Who trained your AI model? California wants to know

On this Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re looking into AI SEO. Yep, that thing where ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools start answering people’s questions before they even click a link (zero-click search). We’ll break down what this means for your content, how to actually show up in those AI answers, and why things like schema, clear Q&As, and even APIs are suddenly a big deal. If you're trying to stay visible in a world where no one’s scrolling search results anymore, this one’s for you.









EP 22 – Your SEO strategy is probably outdated (let's fix that!)

On this episode of Coffee Break with DailyBot, we’re talking about the return of the phone call... kind of.

Even Gen Z, the "don’t-call-me" generation, is turning to voice when it really matters. So are we seeing a new kind of phone call era just powered by AI instead of people? We dig into what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what it all means for the future of customer support.

EP 23 – The call you’re dreading? It’s not a human anymore
