#138 Is Claude the future of agentic AI
Pentagon drama, Google updates and a deep dive into why Claude keeps winning. Agentic AI is here and it's for everyone.

Yesterday, at BrightonSEO, <a href="http://measurelab2.wpengine.com/blog/author/dara/">Dara</a> (our Analytics Director) gave a talk on the state of Universal Analytics now that it is out of beta. It was well received by all (see Twitter feed below). Here's the slides (on <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/darafitzgerald/universal-analytics-out-of-beta-brightonseo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Slideshare</a>) from the presentation in case you missed it or wanted to view them again:
After about 18 months in beta, Universal Analytics is now fully available with complete feature parity compared to Classic GA. This presentation runs through the current state of play with Universal, the key benefits to us as marketers and practical examples of how to start making the most of the new tracking library.
Loved @darafitzgerald's talk on Universal Analytics. Third time seeing him talk and by far one of my favourite speakers! #brightonseo

'Dara' autocorrects to 'Data' seems to make a bit of sense cc @darafitzgerald #brightonseo

AI doesn't fix bad data; it scales it. In 2026, a derelict data warehouse isn't just a nuisance, it’s an existential risk.
The monolithic martech stack is collapsing. An open source, warehouse-first intelligence platform is cheaper, more honest, and actually yours.
