The AI Transformation Playbook

A practical playbook for putting AI to work across a construction company or any operations-heavy business. Brantley starts with what today's AI actually is and isn't, works live through the workflows your team runs every week, and shows the tools doing the work on screen. Attendees leave with a working AI "coworker," not just a slide deck.

Who it's for: Construction and trade executives, estimators, project managers, and operations leaders; industry associations and chambers.

Formats: Keynote (45–60 min) · Breakout (50 min) · Extended keynote with live demo (90 min) · Half-day hands-on workshop

Takeaways

  • How large language models differ from earlier AI (the Deep Blue vs. LLM comparison) and why that matters for your business
  • An interview exercise that surfaces the tasks in your own job AI can take on first
  • Live demos of AI on real construction workflows: estimating support, writing, documentation, and the reports people dread
  • How to choose and set up tools your team will actually use
  • A simple first step to take the week after the event

First given at: AGC Utah Construction Technology Summit, Sep 29, 2026 (breakout, AGC Utah Training Center, Salt Lake City). Attendee review from Ryan Barton, PJF Corp.

AI Basics for Public Servants

A plain-language, hands-on introduction to AI for city, county, and public-sector employees, whatever their role or technical background. Brantley covers what AI tools can and can't do, how to use them safely with public information, and practical everyday uses staff can start the same day.

Who it's for: City and county staff and leadership, city-manager and municipal associations (UCMA, ICMA, ULCT), state agencies, and other public-sector teams.

Formats: All-staff training (60–120 min) · Conference workshop (60–90 min) · Keynote (45–60 min) · Virtual session

Takeaways

  • What AI is, in plain language, and where it fits in public-sector work
  • Safe-use ground rules: what never to paste into an AI tool, and why
  • Everyday uses: drafting, summarizing, research, and communication with residents
  • How to check AI output before it goes out under your department's name
  • A starter set of prompts staff can use right away

First given at: Midvale City AI Basics Training for all city employees, Aug 31, 2026 (Midvale, UT). The full session is on YouTube.

Conducting the Code: Build Real Software Without Writing Code

Based on Brantley's book Conducting the Code, this talk changes the question from "Can I write the code?" to "Can I clearly explain what needs to exist, guide the AI, test what gets built, and keep improving?" Brantley walks through the seven-step path from a messy idea to a first working version and builds a piece of it live.

Who it's for: Educators and schools (UCET), university students, entrepreneurs and founders, innovation teams, and anyone with domain expertise and no coding background.

Formats: Keynote (45–60 min) · Hands-on build lab (90 min to half day) · Virtual session

Takeaways

  • The seven-step path: Messy Idea → Idea Brief → PRD → AI Builder Guide → Build Room → Inspect & Test → Publish & Improve
  • How to turn a rough idea into a brief an AI can work from
  • How to write a PRD that actually gets built
  • How to guide an AI builder without becoming its hostage, and why you shouldn't "vibe code blind"
  • How to inspect, test, and publish without panic

First given at: Drawn from the book Conducting the Code, the BYU Tech Transfer podcast interview "Don't Vibe Code Blind" (Jun 18, 2026), and GenAIPI's live build cohorts (Jun–Aug 2026). Presented at Master Claw 26 (May 4, 2026).

I owe you a serious thank-you for the AI demonstration and little course you put on at the AGC. I walked in expecting to nod politely, zone out, and sneak back to my desk. Instead I walked out with what is basically a new coworker, one who never steals my lunch from the fridge and somehow knows our EMR rating better than I do. It's honestly been a game changer. I'm writing faster, getting through the stuff I used to dread, and looking suspiciously productive. People are starting to ask what's gotten into me. So consider this my glowing, unsolicited review: ten out of ten, would attend again.

Brantley Brumley II is Chief AI Officer at the General AI Proficiency Institute (GenAIPI, genaipi.org) and the author of Conducting the Code, the non-coder's guide to building real software with AI. At GenAIPI he helps organizations move beyond AI curiosity and into real, working AI systems. He practices what he teaches: he created Jarvis, GenAIPI's internal AI agent connected to real business systems, and uses AI every day as a strategic collaborator to pressure-test ideas and build fast.

His expertise comes from building, not theory. Brantley has built and shipped mobile apps and games, and he founded MVP Launcher to help entrepreneurs turn ideas into working software. In Conducting the Code he argues that the important question is no longer "Can I write the code?" but "Can I clearly explain what needs to exist, guide the AI, test what gets built, and keep improving?" The book gives non-coders a repeatable seven-step path from "I wish this existed" to a first working version.

Brantley speaks and teaches for audiences that need AI to work on Monday morning. He presented The AI Transformation Playbook at the AGC Utah Construction Technology Summit, led an AI Basics training for all Midvale City employees, and taught GenAIPI's live build cohorts. He has been a guest on the BYU Tech Transfer podcast ("Don't Vibe Code Blind") and the Beyond Impact podcast, and presented at the Master Claw 26 meetup. He also mentors University of Utah students through the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute's Hours with Experts program and judges student and community hackathons, including Lassonde DevDay and Hack for Humanity: Salt Lake City.

His talks are practical, demo-driven, and tailored to the room, whether the audience is city staff, construction executives, educators, students, or founders, and always end with a clear next step. Brantley is based in Eagle Mountain, Utah.
