Get Max Bennett on Dwarkesh Podcast

Max S. Bennett is the CEO of Alby, which just announced it has powered 20 million consumer conversations and 39 million shopper messages, clear evidence that AI agents are moving real revenue for retailers as 2026 budgets lock in. His book, A Brief History of Intelligence, hit paperback on October 7, 2025, and its brain based framework for common sense and planning is shaping how builders think about the next wave of AI.

Dwarkesh’s audience is already deep in this nexus of neuroscience and AI, and recent episodes cite Bennett’s work directly, so bringing him on now would connect live deployment data from commerce with a concrete roadmap for safer, more capable agents. He has not been on the Dwarkesh Podcast before, which makes this a fresh and timely perspective for listeners deciding how to scale AI this year.
