In this episode of The Monkey Business Podcast, Luke and Armand sit down with Shane Chapman of The Ultimate Deck Shop to explore how 3D design, AI tools, and large language models (LMMs) are reshaping backyard design, planning, and productivity. From building world-class trampolines to designing premium decks, this conversation covers how both Crazy Ape and TUDS are leveraging modern tech to streamline busywork, enhance the client experience, and bring custom outdoor spaces to life—faster and smarter. They also dive into the real-world application of LMMs (like ChatGPT), AI-assisted workflows, and how these tools are helping builders, designers, and business owners save time and deliver better results.

🛠️ Whether you're dreaming up a new deck, considering a backyard trampoline setup, or just love hearing about cutting-edge tools in the trades—this episode delivers.
