Key takeaways:

- For 30 years, you've sketched the tool on the napkin. You've drawn the workflow on the whiteboard. You've said "if I had time I'd build that." AI just handed you the garage — and you're already in it.

- And the unlock isn't AI. It's context. The asset histories. The failure modes. The workarounds that quietly became standard practice. None of it lives in a manual — it lives in your head. When you build with AI, your context becomes the layer everything else runs on. That's when AI stops being a demo and starts being a tool.

- For decades, you bent the work to fit the software. The next decade, the software bends to fit the work. The platforms worth running on are the ones built around your context — with you in the room from day one. That's the industrial AI that lasts.
