AI Didn't Just Make Software Better It Made New Software Possible with Todd Rogers

Join Todd Rogers, Co-founder and CEO of Moddy AI, for a paradigm-shifting exploration into the true nature of the artificial intelligence boom. For the past decade, building a production-ready predictive sports modeling business required millions of dollars in capital, an elite army of data scientists, and bespoke backend architectures—culminating in complex tools that only other data scientists could decipher. In this episode, Todd maps out how advanced LLMs and automated engineering workflows have completely rewritten this equation, moving past basic software optimization to open up entirely new categories of consumer and business software that were previously impossible to build.🎯 Insights You’ll Learn:The Paradigm Leap: Why AI’s greatest contribution isn’t making legacy coding processes faster, but rendering complex data science entirely invisible to the end user.Democratizing the Theory: How Moddy allows anyone to type a sports betting thesis in plain English and automatically spin up a verified, high-performance predictive model.The Invisible Engine: What happens under the hood when a user-described concept is instantly cross-referenced against 126 million historical NBA, NFL, and MLB data points.The No-Code Accountability Era: Why Moddy enforces transparent, immutable public performance tracking and timestamping to eliminate the "hype-and-lock" tipster economy.Scaling Mass Personalization: Lessons from Todd's first venture, Seed Labs, where he scaled custom mobile apps across 5 million users for giants like Lollapalooza and the ESPN X Games.The Enterprise Translation: How decades spent managing complex text, labor, and content analytics at SPSS and Amazon shaped Todd's product approach to consumer sports prediction.🌍 Why This Matters:In 2026, the global sports wagering industry is a multi-hundred-billion-dollar juggernaut, yet the consumer tools powering it are fundamentally broken. Casual fans are forced to rely on talking-head media pundits, while sophisticated bettors spend endless weekend hours fighting complex Excel spreadsheets. Todd Rogers is breaking this divide. By turning the natural language of a user into structured algorithmic instructions, Moddy eliminates the steep data science barrier. This isn't about giving users an AI black box that dictates what to do; it's about providing the computational infrastructure that listens to a human theory, checks it against decades of real performance history, and gives the user back their own mathematical edge.👤 Expert Background:Co-founder & CEO of Moddy AI, the premier platform transforming sports betting theories into transparent, data-driven prediction models.Co-founder of Seed Labs, a pioneering mobile CMS company acquired by event-tech titan Cvent, where he successfully scaled production to over 1,000 corporate applications.Analytics & Data Alumnus with a professional footprint optimizing complex data extraction at enterprise landmarks like SPSS and Amazon.🎙️ Hosted by Gary Fowler, CEO of GSD Venture Studios — global AI entrepreneur, investor, and innovation leader spotlighting founders navigating the realities of building in the AI era.💡 Perfect For:Tech founders exploring category creation, predictive analytics engineers, sports-tech investors, data-driven creators, and entrepreneurs tracking the convergence of consumer AI and complex data modeling.🚀 Timely Topic:The software victories of 2026 are going to the teams that realize code generation is just a baseline utility. Todd Rogers is providing the exact blueprint for how founders can capture this moment—turning unstructured human imagination into high-precision corporate systems.
