On this episode of “SoundVision Tech Talks,” Mark and Andrew sit down to discuss using AI in our industry.
Worried AI is going to replace your job? We flip the script and discuss how to turn AI models into true thought partners that make work smoother, proposals sharper, and decisions faster. We walk through the exact tools and workflows we rely on day to day, from custom GPTs that punch holes in our proposals to an “attorney” model that benchmarks subcontractor agreements in seconds. You’ll hear how we combine voice-first tools like Whisperflow with Plaud and Slack AI to capture meetings, extract action items, and stay fully present with clients instead of buried in notes.
We also dig into the CRIT prompt method—context, role, interview, task—to get AIs asking us smarter questions before they generate results. That same approach powers real-life choices: one model analyzed mid-size trucks and recommended a Honda Ridgeline based on our criteria, while another built a balanced, points-friendly road trip with leaf-peeping stops, cooking classes, and wine tours. When you provide clear constraints, AI gives you options you can trust and refine without the overwhelm.
For client education, Notebook LM transforms dense PDFs into interactive mind maps by floor, room, and device, complete with specs, images, and even a dynamic “podcast” interface that answers follow-up questions. And for rapid internal experiments, Google AI Studio lets us “vibe code” small tools with plain English, turning ideas into working prototypes we can hand off for polish. We stay realistic about risks—misleading media and bad sources exist—so everything gets human review and context. The goal is simple: enhance the human, reduce busywork, and raise the quality bar.
