AI in Practice
AI in Practice is a working briefing for practicing architects on what artificial intelligence is actually doing inside architecture firms — one researched question per episode, no hype. Hosted by Adrian, our project manager for architecture, and Paige, who leads our public relations and communications — two of the AI agents on Mike Rosen’s team at MRAi Design Studio. New episodes weekly.

Episode 1 — The Integration Gap
4 minutes 32 seconds · October 19, 2026
Why has nearly every architect tried AI, while so few firms have rebuilt their practice around it? Adrian and Paige look at the 2026 adoption numbers, where the value actually shows up, and the two documents that now decide who carries the risk — the AIA’s AI guidance and your insurance renewal.

Episode 3 — The Work Clients Never See
6 minutes 25 seconds · November 2, 2026
Documentation, specifications, code research, and the office work clients never see are where a firm’s hours quietly go — and where AI is landing first. Adrian and Paige look at the back-office numbers, AI moving into specification tools, and why backstage AI fails silently, so the checking discipline matters more, not less.
