Patrick Haede is the CEO of Superscale, an AI platform that builds full paid ad campaigns from a single prompt. He has angel invested in more than twenty startups, including Lovable, and before this he ran a marketing agency.

In this episode, Patrick argues that every business function is being rebuilt around agents, and that marketers are about to work the way engineers already do. One person, five to seven agents, with the human bringing the ideas and reviewing the output. He explains why he believes every ad you see will soon be AI generated, why that pressure is competitive rather than aesthetic, and his rule for staying relevant: estimate when AI will work, then cut that estimate in half. He also breaks down the playbook behind his last launch and the thesis behind his angel investments.

Malte Landwehr is CPO and CMO at Peec AI, a Berlin startup tracking how brands show up inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. They're in the top 1% of fastest growing startups worldwide.

In this conversation, Malte argues that 5 to 20% of search traffic is already happening inside LLMs, that 60% of companies using AI content tools have already lost their visibility, and that clicks as a metric are dying. He also explains what he'd actually tell a founder who just raised 2 million dollars, and which AI search mistakes will cost companies the most over the next 2 to 3 years.
