Navigating Success and Humanity in Silicon Valley

On this week’s AI/XR Podcast, Charlie Fink and Rony Abovitz welcome Ananya Chadha, founder of Quander.co, a startup building AI-powered marketing agents for businesses of all sizes. Chadha, a Stanford grad with experience at Neuralink and IBM, is betting that distribution—more than product—is the defining challenge for small and large businesses in an age of content overload. Quander’s tools scrape social platforms for niche conversations and automate personalized outreach, while also optimizing ad creative based on performance data. The hosts discuss AI’s growing role in media and marketing, Meta’s $3.5B investment in Luxottica, and the rise of “AI slop” across the internet. They also touch on Nvidia’s $4T valuation and XR news from Zoom, Mentra, and Sesame.
