Nomic CEO Andriy Mulyar joined Luigi La Corte (Provision), Mike Powers (BuildVision), and Andrew Zukoski (Join) on the Construction Technology Podcast.
This episode covers Nomic's pivot to verticalized AI for construction, and the broader question of how to build useful AI products in AEC. The conversation works through two paths: training custom models, or harnessing foundational ones. The panel gets into Rich Sutton's "Bitter Lesson", why the harness around the model does most of the heavy lifting in construction use cases, how to benchmark the full harness, the change management work that determines whether a rollout sticks, and why outcome-based billing becomes more plausible as these systems embed deeper into preconstruction workflows.
