Get to power faster with AI
This free session hosted by Kyle Baranko, Head of Product, and Tony Wagler, Director of Development, shows where AI can meaningfully support development workflows, where human judgment still matters, and how to validate AI outputs before they shape project decisions.
What we'll cover

The development bottleneck: why speed and accuracy are now both essential
Where AI belongs: which decisions it can support and which ones still require humans
How to trust it: validation, review, and guardrails
Live demo: see the workflow in action on a realistic project
Takeaways: what teams can implement immediately
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for where AI fits in their development workflow, how to validate its outputs, and how to use it without adding hidden risk.
