922: AI for Manufacturing and Industry, with Hugo Dozois-Caouette
Hugo Dozois-Caouette speaks to Jon Krohn about his startup MaintainX and how he secured $100 million in venture capital. MaintainX manages and maintains computerized maintenance management systems (CMSs), or work-execution software, for the industrial and manufacturing industries. This “digitized version of a clipboard” with the help of web and mobile applications, provide a list of procedures, guidelines and regulations to help increase worker productivity and give a company the data-driven insights it needs to refine its processes. Listen to the episode to hear Hugo’s thoughts on the gaps in the manufacturing industry that technology can fill, the tech stack used by MaintainX, and the discrepancy of information in manufacturing environments.

918: Multi-Agent Systems with CrewAI
In this Five-Minute Friday, Jon Krohn introduces listeners to CrewAI, an open-source Python framework that can create and manage multi-agent teams. The clue is in the title: CrewAI assembles specialized agents into single “crews” that achieve complex goals between them. CrewAI’s agent teams can also learn and iterate, meaning that after the crew has achieved its goals for the first time, they can refine and tailor their approach to future goals.
