Why it works
The conversation leads the coverage.
Our research found that long-form interviews lead Google Trends by a year or more on technology-adoption themes. On AI agents, the thought leader conversation began ramping in July 2024, 11 months before public search interest moved and 20 months before it peaked, tracing the same curve at r = 0.98. Operators think out loud here first.
That is the pattern we watch for. Every episode is classified by who is speaking: their role, their industry, the scale they operate at. Every night the corpus is re-read, and every trend line on this site moves with it. When a term starts compounding, we see it while it is still a whisper.
