The AI Guys

Lee and Rich break down one of the biggest conversations in AI right now: security. They unpack what businesses should actually worry about when deploying AI, from model training concerns to permissions, data exposure, and the risks that show up as teams move from simple AI tools to more autonomous agents.

They also dig into the difference between AI tools and AI agents, why that distinction matters, and how enterprises should think about zero trust access, internal governance, vector stores, API connections, and accidental data sharing. The big takeaway is simple: AI itself is not usually the problem. Human behavior, weak processes, and unclear guardrails are where real security issues begin.

If your company is exploring AI adoption, building internal agents, or trying to create a safer rollout strategy, this episode will help you think through the right questions. Subscribe for more practical AI conversations, and check the links below for more resources and related content.

Test Release

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We dig into why construction productivity has barely moved in decades, how outdated estimating and permitting workflows slow everything down, and where AI can remove friction without replacing human judgment.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.

Everyone wants AI, but most companies are asking for the wrong thing. In this episode of The AI Guys Podcast, Lee, Rich, and Thomas break down the top 5 AI integrations clients think they need, and reveal the smarter, more scalable agentic workflows that actually move the needle. If you’ve been wondering why so many AI projects stall out after the demo phase, this conversation gets into the real reason.
The team unpacks common requests like support chatbots, AI email writers, chat-with-a-PDF tools, dashboard assistants, and one-click content generators, then explains what businesses should build instead. They dig into the hidden work behind successful AI deployment, from cleaning up messy data and restructuring workflows to using human feedback, reinforcement learning, and autonomous agents that can take action across your systems. This episode is a practical look at what it really takes to go from basic AI tools to an actual agentic workforce.
If you’re planning an AI rollout, this is the roadmap you want before you waste time and budget on the wrong integrations. Subscribe for more real-world AI breakdowns, and check out the links below for more resources and follow-up content.

In this episode, Lee sits down with Rich Swier and special guest Richard Partridge, whose journey from zoology and conservation into tech leadership and AI advocacy is anything but typical. From starting as a zoology major to becoming COO at New Line, Richard’s story shows how curiosity, reinvention, and a willingness to experiment can completely reshape a career in the age of AI.

They break down how a single high‑pressure customer deadline pushed Richard’s team to fully embrace AI in their development process, cutting build time in half and permanently changing how they ship software. You will hear how AI is melting traditional silos between sales, dev, professional services, and customer success, why “vibe coding” is unlocking hidden builders inside non‑technical roles, and how agentic AI is starting to capture decades of tribal knowledge from 40‑year veterans. The conversation also dives into AI‑ready data, vectorization, hyper‑personalized UX on top of existing systems of record, and why vertical SaaS companies may be in the best position to win this next wave.

If you are a founder, developer, tech leader, or AI‑curious operator, this episode will challenge how you think about software, jobs, and what it means to be “technical” in 2026. Stick around to hear why the future might not be “one new Salesforce,” but a million smaller, AI‑powered experiences built by people just like you.
