Listen "47 - Stop Reporting the Fire, Start Preventing the Spark - InspectMind"
Episode Synopsis
Can AI catch the errors that humans physically can't?In this episode, we welcome back Aakash Prasad (CEO) and Shuangling Yin (CTO) of InspectMind.ai. Since our last conversation, they’ve made a massive pivot upstream—moving from documenting field issues to preventing them entirely before ground is broken.We dive into their new "AI Checker Agent," a tool that cross-references thousands of drawing sheets, specs, and code requirements to find logic gaps that cost millions. Aakash shares a case study where the agent caught a material mismatch that would have cost a contractor $2M in rework, and Shuangling breaks down why "chatbots" aren't enough for construction—you need agents that execute complex workflows on your behalf.In this episode, we cover:The Pivot: How a job site visit in Long Island changed the company’s entire direction.The "Impossible" Standard: Why checking architectural drawings against structural plans is nearly impossible for humans at scale.Agents vs. Chatbots: Why the industry needs "hair on fire" solutions, not just cool tech.Trust & Verification: How their AI cites every claim so engineers can verify, not just trust.Links:Check out InspectMind: www.inspectmind.aiConnect with Aakash and Shuangling on LinkedIn.
