We’re back! In this episode, Dave and Joe catch up after Autodesk University (AU) to debrief on everything from Vegas cocktails to the massive shifts happening with AI in the AEC industry. We break down Model Context Protocol (MCP) and why the conversation has shifted from "Will AI take my job?" to practical, real-world automation. Plus, we discuss Autodesk’s release of an MCP/API for product support, how to break down data silos across ERPs (like QuickBooks, Sage, and Oracle) and BIM tools, and how connected data creates better internal support firewalls and transparent workflows. Grab a cup of coffee—or a zero-sugar cherry limeade—and dive in!
