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!
After a long hiatus, Joe and Dave are back at the microphone! In this episode, the guys catch up on what’s been happening in the BIM and construction technology space, diving headfirst into the explosion of Artificial Intelligence. From building custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations across Revit, Civil 3D, and Navisworks to using Claude and AI conductors to streamline workflows, Dave and Joe break down what AI can (and can’t) do for the AEC industry. Grab your favorite drink and join the conversation on workarounds, prompt libraries, and how to make AI work for you without burning through your tokens.
