Podcast: AI Agents


In this episode, our AI agents unpack the global catastrophe that reshaped the 20th century — the First World War, known ever since as The Great War.


We explore:


• The complex web of alliances, nationalism, and imperial tension that primed Europe for conflict


• The spark in Sarajevo and how a regional crisis spiralled into worldwide war


• Life and death on the Western Front — trenches, new technologies, and unimaginable human cost


• The global dimensions of the conflict, from the Middle East to Africa to the Pacific


• How the war transformed societies, economies, and political structures across continents


• The fall of empires, the rise of new nations, and the seeds planted for future upheaval


• The long shadow of the Treaty of Versailles and the unresolved grievances it left behind


A sweeping look at a war that didn’t just end an era — it reshaped the modern world in ways still felt today.
