What happens when AI meets one of America’s biggest problems, housing? In this episode of The AI Guys, we sit down with Patrick Murphy, former Congressman and CEO of TogalAI and CodeComplyAI, to unpack how artificial intelligence could help reduce housing costs, speed up construction, and cut through government delays. It is a sharp conversation about where AI can create real-world impact far beyond chatbots and hype.We dig into why construction productivity has barely moved in decades, how outdated estimating and permitting workflows slow everything down, and where AI can remove friction without replacing human judgment. Patrick breaks down how machine vision is changing blueprint analysis, why pre-construction may be the biggest opportunity in the industry, and how government itself could become one of the best use cases for AI. The result is a bigger conversation about efficiency, housing supply, and what an AI-first future could look like for builders, cities, and everyday Americans.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to The AI Guys for more conversations on how AI is reshaping business, government, and society.

In this episode of the AI Guys, hosts Lee Dixon and Rich Swire wrap up 2025 by outlining the three critical trends that will define the next year of artificial intelligence. They move beyond the "experimental" phase to discuss why 2026 marks the end of "analysis paralysis" and the beginning of mandated business adoption where AI is embedded into the DNA of company workflows. Rich explains why we are approaching a massive "startup churn" as hyperscalers like Google and Amazon vertically integrate features that will likely wipe out early "wrapper" companies. They also touch on the rise of a new "AI Services" industry to help businesses transform their legacy systems , and why leaders need to treat their AI budget just like the salary of a new, high-value employee.

In this episode of the AI Guys, hosts Lee Dickson and Rich Swier tackle the "Build vs. Buy vs. Embed" dilemma. They explore why so many companies are tempted to simply "upgrade" their existing SaaS tools (like CRMs or Support desks) to include AI, and why Rich believes this often results in the "worst version of AI you could imagine." They discuss the economic reality that forces SaaS vendors to use cheap, low-powered models to protect their margins, leaving clients with underpowered tools. The conversation concludes with a look at the "Hybrid" approach—using platforms that offer the security of a purchased product with the flexibility to build custom, autonomous agents that can eventually replace seat-based software.
