Summary

Since ChatGPT's launch in November 2022, AI has become dramatically more powerful, agentic, and yet cheaper. Billions of dollars and millions of hours have been invested into building AI-powered products and deploying AI within organizations, but without a reliable return on investment. How do we translate these technical advances into compelling value for our users?

Key questions we'll explore:

  • Which AI trends truly matter, and how do they inform your long-term strategy?
  • How do you balance rapid AI experimentation with your own homegrown initiatives?
  • How to customize AI to your business' unique context?
