AI tools are genuinely powerful, and easy to deploy badly. Most construction leaders aren't asking whether to use AI anymore — they're asking where to start, what's actually worth paying for, and how to tell a real capability from a demo. This is the plain-English session for exactly that: what a skill is, what an agent is, what a model does, and which of it is worth your time. No dumb questions.
Featuring Chris Boyd, Chief Product Officer at Trunk Tools, who's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of AI deployments on jobsites and in corporate offices across the country.
You'll come away with
- The plain-English difference between a skill and an agent, plus enough of the fundamentals on RAGs, VLMs, and LLMs to follow — and question — any vendor pitch you're sitting through this year
- Where AI genuinely saves time on a jobsite or in the trailer, and where it still needs a human holding the pen — drawings, RFIs, submittals, and everything in between
- Tokenomics 101: what separates the teams getting real value from AI from the ones quietly burning budget on it
- The accountability basics: what to put in writing before you scale a pilot company-wide, so you know who's on the hook when an AI-assisted answer is wrong
