TODD'S TAKES
1. AI won’t replace humans, but humans using AI will replace those who don’t. Embrace AI tools without fear. Start small, have fun experimenting, and get comfortable with these new technologies.
2. Like Patrick said, construction technology companies are eager to hear your ideas. They value your feedback and are open to collaboration. So, speak up, share your opinions on their tools, and suggest ideal workflows.
3. Dedicate time each week to research and explore emerging trends and potential tech solutions. Test the ones that intrigue you. Remember, innovation stems from small, consistent steps. Go out there and experiment.
