Episode 02-01: Dennis Dixon & Paige Reiche - General AI

Welcome to the first episode of Series 2 of Wrenches Gadgets & Hacks! The theme of this series is "AI in the AECO and Beyond," where we'll explore all things AI, including General AI, Custom GPTs, Prompt Engineering, and much more.

We kick off this series with a bang as we have not one, but two great guests this episode:

Dennis Dixon - Partner at OQULI
Paige Reiche - Partner at OQULi

We had a great chat with them about OQULi, the first "choose your own adventure" software suite that allows the Design, Construction, and Manufacturing communities to navigate the creation of their tools. We also went down the rabbit hole of General AI in the AECO industry and beyond, which may or may not include a "rap" about the podcast host.

Enjoy the show and be sure to stick around until the end for two great AI hacks!
