[District x Remote] Virtual Workshop: Making AI Adoption Stick

​If you're building AI tools, you know the struggle: getting real adoption is harder than building the product. If you're running a company, you have a different problem: your team isn't sure where to start.

Remote.com (~$500M raised from Accel, Sequoia, Index Ventures) has been on both sides of this. In January, 13% of the company used AI in a given month. By August it was 72%, and most of the people who shipped something along the way don't write code for a living. They run treasury, payroll, localisation and customer care, and the People team built the company's own hiring system.

​Sofia Silva, Remote's CTO, has the inside view on what actually moved a 2,000-person company that isn't full of engineers: with candid insights on what worked, what didn't, and why the inside view is so useful for founders on either side of this problem. Sofia herself went from pediatrician to engineer to CTO, so she knows what it takes to build trust and drive real behavior change.

​Format: Sofia will share 35 minutes of insights, followed by live Q&A with the group.

​What You'll Learn:

• ​The playbook that moved Remote's non-technical teams from "where do we start" to shipping builds their colleagues depend on

• ​The handful of upstream decisions, which tools, what they could connect to, where to ship, that made every build possible

• ​What this means for founders selling into, or building for, companies going through the same shift

​⭐️ Bonus Offer: Remote is also offering free access to their AI training course for our attendees.
