Capital One's tech team isn't just talking about multi-agentic AI. They already deployed one. It's called Chat Concierge and it's simplifying car shopping. Using self-reflection and layered reasoning with live API checks, it doesn't just help buyers find a car they love. It helps schedule a test drive, get pre-approved for financing, and estimate trading value. Advanced, intuitive, and deployed. That's how they stack. That's technology at Capital One.

Welcome back to the podcast. On EV News Daily today, EV sales are spreading, Rivian R2 Starts Strong and VW Wants More Tariffs. Plus stay tuned because later in the show I'll tell you why the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but the fans of that vehicle might be getting an electric surprise. No EV News China today as it's Saturday. That's back on Monday. And welcome to the new name for EV News Daily. We've dropped the daily, we've changed the logo, I've got a whole bunch of

new brand channels, and I've been off social media for a couple of years. I'll be really honest with you. A lot of that was mental health. And I just found myself wasting hours scrolling. And I got two young kids and a lot going on. So I just deleted a lot of social media apps. And it really hit EV News, I think very hard because I used to post a lot with all the community that we'd built up online, not only on X, but also on threads, which I just started posting.

on a couple of years ago, not so good on Instagram, but also LinkedIn, Facebook, Blue Sky and the rest. And I just deleted all of the apps because it sucked me in. And I had to go cold turkey.
