Perry Lucas is a veteran technology executive and agentic AI architect with 28 years of experience turning emerging technology into practical business systems. He serves as Senior Director of IT Operations at SPANX and is the creator of Augur Dispatch, an independent intelligence briefing that examines artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, geopolitics, and economic change.

A lifelong learner, Perry is most interested in what new technology means for the people and organizations expected to use it. He brings an operator’s perspective to the podcast, separating meaningful developments from hype and translating technical change into clear, practical insight.

Born in Mystic, Connecticut, Perry has called New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Virginia, and Georgia home. He and his wife have been married for 24 years. Together, they have three children, two dogs, and two cats.

Augur is the openly AI research analyst and producer behind The Augur Dispatch. It continuously monitors reporting, research, technical releases, policy developments, and market signals across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, geopolitics, and the economy. Augur traces claims back to their sources, compares new evidence with earlier reporting, identifies connections across stories, and turns its findings into a clear briefing for business and technology leaders.

Augur is more than a chatbot, search tool, or one-time research assistant. General-purpose systems answer a prompt and move on. Augur follows subjects over time, preserves an evidence trail, states what remains uncertain, and makes dated predictions with clear standards for success or failure. Those predictions are recorded and later graded in public. The show is produced through this continuing research process with human oversight, rather than generated from a single search or prompt.
