Jancast.com - Podcasting to Cleaner & Healthier World

AI update - In this episode, we continue to pursue the AI innovations that are changing the cleaning industry. In our last show with Mark Warner. We talked about utilizing certified cleaning techniques & processes data to create training videos using AI. We then briefly cover the new AI agents and what they can do for you

This video is abouthow training is changing in the AI world: Continuing coverage of Jancast #221, I discuss this with my old co-host, Mark Warner, since he's involved in real-life, face-to-face training. We will discuss what he's been up to, how he sees recent advances in AI video, and how that fits with the more traditional training he does with ISSA and others. Someone should be using all of the CMI data to create LLM (large Language Model) for the cleaning industry, if they are not already doing it. 

How AI Is Changing Cleaning Training For years, if you wanted to create a professional training video for the cleaning industry, you needed a camera, a location, equipment, somebody who knew how to perform the task, and somebody else who knew how to shoot and edit video. 

In this Jancast, we want to talk about some of the AI work we have been doing here at Bullen over the last few weeks. AI is changing fast, can you keep up with it?

Is Covid back? National and regional COVID-19 activity is increasing, but  acute respiratory illness causing people to seek healthcare is very low. As of August 19, 2026, CDC estimated that infections were growing or likely growing in 47 states. Here the details in 6 minutes so you know what to look out for.

We didn't wake up one morning and decide to raise prices. We spent two and a half years trying not to. The story behind why we didn’t raise prices until now and what triggered it finally happening

Measles is Back: What Every Facility Needs to Know For years, measles was something most people assumed had disappeared in the United States. But in 2026 we're seeing outbreaks once again, reminding us that highly contagious diseases can return quickly when vaccination rates decline. Today we're going to separate fact from fiction and explain what cleaning professionals actually need to know.

In this Jancast, we're doing a public service announcement concerning Cyclospora versus Norovirus and how that's critical to understanding what you're dealing with. Currently, there are thousands of outbreaks taking place in 34 states, so it's important to know what you're dealing with.

In this episode we cover the news about Safer Choice. On June 3, 2026, Senators Chris Coons (D-DE) and Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced the Safer Choice Program Authorization Act (S.4664). This is important because it represents a bipartisan effort to formally establish the EPA's Safer Choice and Design for the Environment programs in federal law rather than relying solely on administrative authority.

In this episode we talk about a new training app to teach robots how to clean. Shiftapp.nyc, an AI training startup, is offering free home cleanings in New York City, it said on Thursday. There's one catch: cleaners wear head-mounted cameras that record first-person footage while they scrub bathrooms, mop floors, and organize kitchens.

In this episode, we focus on how we've been utilizing AI at Bullen for the last 20 plus years and what we have to look forward to in the future. We are not experts, but wanted to pass on what Bullen is doing with AI that you might find helpful for your business.
