"My bet is that companies who already have access to data and customers will win" - while I think largely true said companies will also move slower while the the earlier stage startups with almost nothing to lose will seem to move faster, so there's an interesting dynamic at play of platform providers vs point solutions in the AI space and whether a first-mover will truly last...time will tell
100%. This makes it even more challenging to invest. I don’t think there will be a first movers advantage. Those who stand the test of time may be the winners.
The result? I agree it could be a lot of fragmentation in the short-term, but then a period of consolidation as use cases start to drive some standardisation?
I'm pleased to see someone exploring tech in the AEC - especially the Construction part of the industry. It would be even more impressive if this tech exploration extended to the O&M phases. Software that captured documented data from design through to construction As-Builts to operation/maintenance routines. It's time the turn-over stage of a building project included digital as-builts and O&M manuals. Looking forward to more articles.
Hey! I saw your post pop up on my homepage and wanted to show some support. If you get a chance, I’d really appreciate a little love on my latest newsletter too always happy to boost each other!

Interesting perspective.
Building plugins that can integrate design/analysis with authoring tools will be a vital.
Core engineering design will still take time, but component validation such as structural columns, beams, etc. is definitely possible with Gen AI.
