As AI tools get easier to use, companies are running into a new problem fast: AI sprawl. In this episode of The AI Guys, Lee and Rich break down what happens when teams start vibe coding apps, launching internal tools, and experimenting with AI without a clear plan for ownership, security, support, or long term ROI.

They dig into the hidden costs behind rapid AI adoption, from token burn and duplicate tools to support headaches, feature creep, and brand risk. The conversation also covers why prototypes can create false confidence, how internal apps quietly turn into full products, and what leaders should do to put guardrails, playbooks, and smarter approval processes in place before the chaos starts.

If your team is moving fast with AI, this is the episode you need to hear before things get messy. Subscribe for more practical AI conversations, and check out the links below for more resources and related content.
