Key points

  • The Economist is experimenting with agent-readable versions of marketing and B2B content to maintain discoverability as AI search engines rise.
  • By using small cross-functional teams and AI tools, the publisher shipped its CarPlay app five months early, more than doubling technology velocity.
  • Internally, a "vibe coding" culture empowers non-technical staff to build their own tools, but AI is strictly limited to research and workflow, not content creation.
