Day One AI: Founders & CTOs Dinner
Day One AI
A private dinner for Founders and CTOs scaling companies in the Bay Area.
The hardest part of building an AI company is making the system reliable enough that humans trust it. Trust directly translates into ARR. CTOs are responsible to build trust with users.
Why attend
We are finding that:
prompts become too large, agents become too eager, context becomes stale, And edge cases disproportionately destroy user trust. A human ignores 100 good decisions and remembers the one bizarre mistake.
The interesting architecture pattern emerging is not fully deterministic systems or fully agentic systems. It’s the hybrid: deterministic guardrails for hard constraints, modular sub-agents, confidence thresholds, evals everywhere, and human-in-the-loop when confidence drops. AI engineering is increasingly starting to feel less like prompting and more like reliability engineering.
If you are wondering how do others solve this, then this is the dinner for that.
Space is intentionally limited and seats are curated to protect the quality of the room.
