Praveen Ghanta, founder of DevHawk, on hiring, building, and shipping software — and why most of the standard playbook doesn't hold up under founder math.
AI Governance Auditing: Why the Policy Binder Won't Save You
AI governance that lives in a document is theater. Real governance is auditable systems, and most teams discover the gap only after they've shipped.
Agentic AI Examples: What's Running in Production Right Now
The agent examples worth studying aren't the viral demos. They're the unglamorous production deployments, and every one of them shares the same pattern.
Agentic AI vs Generative AI: The Difference That Decides What You Build
Generative AI answers. Agentic AI acts. That one-word difference determines the architecture, the cost, and the risk of everything you build with it.
AI for Software Development: Where It Actually Makes Teams Faster (and Where It Doesn't)
Almost every engineering team is using AI to write code now. Very few are shipping faster. The difference is everything that happens around the code.
AI Features in Construction Management Software: What's Worth Building and What's a Distraction
Your Procore or Autodesk Build instance isn't the bottleneck. The two AI features that actually move your margin are a thin layer on top of what you already run. You don't need to migrate to get them.
AI in Construction Scheduling: What It Can Actually Do and What It Still Can't
AI scheduling tools are only as good as the data feeding them and the system they plug into. Bolt a predictive layer onto the scheduler your crews already run. Don't force a new tool on the people keeping the job on track.
Generative AI in Construction: Kill the Document Tax Before You Chase the Flashy Stuff
The ROI in construction isn't a flashy model. It's the document and coordination tax that quietly burns margin on every project. Generative AI is finally good enough to kill most of it.
AI in Construction Estimating: Where It Helps, Where It Doesn't, and What to Build
The pitch is that AI will transform your estimates. The reality is narrower and more useful: it compresses takeoffs, surfaces patterns in your own historical cost data, and hands the judgment calls back to you.
AI in Construction Safety: The Integrations That Actually Reduce Risk
The job site demos look impressive. The tools that actually move your incident rate are the ones nobody's pitching, the ones quietly wired into the systems your crews already use.
The 90% Problem: Why AI Coding Agents Still Need Software Architects
AI coding agents are technically gifted. They also overbuild, overengineer, and miss architectural decisions that only a human who has shipped to production can catch.
Profit Is the New Moat for SaaS
For roughly 20 years, SaaS companies treated zero profit as a growth strategy. AI just made that bet untenable. The companies that get to 20% margins first will have the only defensible position left.
SaaS Margins Were Zero. AI Changes That Math.
Defense #1 in the AI era: profitability. Most SaaS companies have run at zero profit margin for 20 years. That's a luxury AI pricing pressure will not allow.
