    Software that doesn’t feel like software: Robot Toolworx and AI in wrench-and-grease industries

    Join Dan Crain, CEO of Robot Toolworx, to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and the high-stakes world of heavy industry maintenance and sustainment. From fixing aircraft carriers to repairing excavators, the physical world has long relied on analog processes—whiteboards, paper manuals, and "the guy who knows where to hit it with the hammer." Dan shares how Robot Toolworx digitizes this tribal knowledge to reduce turnaround times and solve the problem of endless maintenance manual errata. We dive deep into why domain expertise in the age of AI is more valuable than ever, why "software" is a dirty word on shop floors, and how that can change.

    Detroit automakers have written down ~$50 billion in EV investments over the last two years, scaling back factories and slashing projects.

Maniv’s own Mike Granoff joins the podcast to dissect ⁠Michael Dunne's explosive article in The Free Press.⁠ They break down the cascade of missed opportunities—from "polar bear" marketing and the GM bailout to the toxic politicization of cars. More importantly, they discuss why losing the EV race threatens the future of domestic manufacturing, the buildout of AI data centers, and ultimately, national security.
