Hi everyone – welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].

First, we delve into the rise of APIs for AI web search, with Anthropic recently joining Google, Perplexity, OpenAI, and others in releasing a product. It’s looking like AI search will soon be broadly distributed across 3rd-party applications and websites.

Next, crypto’s regulatory barriers are coming down, with the OCC, Fed, and FDIC rescinding restrictions and pulling back on enforcement efforts. Banks can engage in crypto activity more freely and without advance notice – including providing banking services to crypto businesses.

Finally, Airbnb is now fully in the services business, launching a vetted marketplace of private chefs, personal trainers, beauty treatments, and more. Unlike its prior attempt, this feels like a serious strategic expansion and an effort to position itself vis-à-vis the ongoing AI wave.

Enjoy.
