DC Tech Meetup #91: Integrating AI
⏩How DMV Startups Are Supercharging Their Products with AI
AI isn’t just hype—it’s becoming core product infrastructure.
DCTM#91 is featuring DMV startups that are pivoting to embed AI directly into their software to unlock new features, improve user experiences, and create real competitive advantage.
Hear firsthand what it takes to actually integrate AI into a live product—and make it work at scale?
🛠️ Neil Shah, CEO of DC-based product studio ThinkNimble, helps startups and mission-driven orgs integrate AI into their platforms the right way.
He’ll share real lessons learned from dozens of early-stage builds—where things break, what works fast, and how to scope realistic AI solutions.
Takeaways from Neil’s keynote:
🔎 How to identify areas that AI can provide real value
🧠 How to scope out AI integration into your product
🧰 How to correctly build lightweight, scalable AI tools
💸 Provide real-world lessons learned and key issues to avoid
You’ll leave with practical advice you can apply immediately—whether you’re just getting started or already mid-build.
🌟 We’re also spotlighting these builders who are actually shipping AI into real products—not just playing with prompts, but creating new features, smarter workflows, and real traction:
Build OS is the personal AI co-pilot that transforms your chaotic thoughts into streamlined progress, and keeps you moving forward!
SiteNsight is a mobile app that uses scanning technology to identify construction materials, tools, and buildings, providing users with detailed information and educational context. It bridges the gap between DIY users, developers, tourist, professionals, and students by making construction knowledge easily accessible in real time.
Capitol Interactive is creating immersive experiences that give viewers a front row seat to new places, faces, and ideas.
