About this episode
Buck Crum from Winn Resources talks through how production ops runs lean and why that makes AI tools critical for smaller operators. He breaks down using Collide for well search to pull operational histories in seconds instead of burning a third of his day hunting through documents, and where he wants it to go next, diagnostic help, probing questions, and eventually a "Pumperbot" that pumpers can talk to in the field. Michael Cortez from Collide walks through the difference between finding information and actually using it, and why voice-to-text could capture the tribal knowledge that never makes it onto paper.
