The Non-Engineer's AI Playbook｜MuleRun NYC
"How do I deploy AI as a real work partner across my team — not just a chat tool for one person?"
If that question has been sitting on your desk, this afternoon is built for you.
MuleRun has grown from zero to over 1 million users globally by helping non-engineers put AI to actual work. We're bringing together NYC's strongest operators across finance, e-commerce, marketing, and professional services to share what's working, what's next, and how teams are truly becoming AI-native.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
✅ A Real AI Workflow Running for You You'll leave with at least one AI agent actively handling real work — research, reports, spreadsheets, competitor monitoring, content summarization, repetitive operational tasks. Not a demo. A deployed workflow.
✅ Invitation to Apply for the MuleRun Ambassador Program A curated community of organizers, creators, operators, and industry experts shaping how AI is deployed inside real organizations. Ambassadors receive early access to upcoming releases, direct access to the product team, co-marketing to 1M+ users, financial support for content and events, and paid partnership, sponsorship, and case study opportunities. Your seat in this room is the first qualification.
✅ A High-Signal Room Intentionally curated for senior operators, industry experts, founders, investors, and builders actively deploying AI in production. Not people talking about AI. People operationalizing it.
