The construction industry has seen zero productivity growth in over fifty years, but one former US Congressman is using artificial intelligence to change that forever. Discover how Patrick Murphy built Togal.AI to compress weeks of manual blueprint estimating into a seamless process that takes mere seconds.

Growing up in a family construction business and serving in Congress gave Patrick the unique perspective needed to revolutionize the real estate industry. In this episode, we dive deep into the archaic workflows of 2D plans, the incredible power of machine vision, and how artificial intelligence is finally bending the cost curve of building.

Patrick also shares his high-level insights on building a remote-first tech startup and the striking similarities between political campaigns and MVP product launches. Whether you are scaling a venture-backed startup or fascinated by the future of automation in legacy industries, this conversation delivers massive value.
