AI Transition Table: Chapter 3 - Own Your Edge — What Do You Know That AI Could Amplify?
You know something well: a craft, a profession, a way of caring for people, a skill life taught you. Come explore how AI could amplify it, where you'd draw the line, and who in the room might need exactly what you know. Small tables, one open circle, one question: what's your edge?
Make sense of the AI age, together.
As AI makes information and capability abundant, what you know, and how you use it, matters more than ever. The question is no longer whether AI will touch your expertise. It's whether it makes you sharper or weaker, and who decides.
Most of us are working this out alone. The AI Transition Table creates a space to work it out together.
This participatory workshop brings people into small groups to go deep on one question in three parts, then together into one open circle. Together, we will:
Amplify — Where could AI take what you know: for yourself, your business, extra income, or helping others through this transition?
Protect — Could AI deepen your expertise, or could relying on it weaken it? Where would you draw the line?
Begin — What is one thing you could try in the next 30 days?
Exchange — In the closing circle, everyone shares what they can offer the room and what they're looking for, so knowledge finds the people who need it.
Participants begin by reflecting individually, in pencil, because our answers and the future itself remain open to revision. Ideas are then discussed in small groups and brought together in the closing circle.
This is Chapter 3, the closing chapter of the AI Transition Table's Founding Series. In Chapter 2, the room's biggest hope was that AI could help us become more human, by freeing time and energy for what only we can do. People also asked: so what do we do about it? Chapter 3 is where we move from naming needs to owning what each of us brings. Missed the first two? Each chapter stands on its own, and newcomers are always welcome.

This is not a lecture, an AI tools tutorial, or a debate about whether AI is good or bad. No technical expertise is required, only something you know well (everyone has something) and a willingness to think with others.
Who This Is For
Founders, creatives, professionals, practitioners, healers, community builders, AI beginners and power users, and anyone with a craft, skill or knowledge they want to grow rather than lose.
What You'll Leave With
A clearer sense of your edge, and how AI could amplify it
Your own line: where AI helps you and where you keep it human
One concrete step to try in the next 30 days
At least one connection with someone who can use what you offer, or offers what you're looking for
A broader perspective shaped by people outside your usual circle
The evening opens with a brief guided arrival and a Rose Vibes welcome pour, and closes with a group photo and time to connect.
We'll be filming the opening and the closing circle for our community. A no-camera table will be available.
About the Founder and Host
AI is changing who we are faster than we're talking about it. That's why Nikolai Punchev founded the AI Transition Table.
A founder by trade, Nikolai built Rose Vibes, a pioneering Bulgarian rose–based calm-energy elixir carried by every Erewhon Market and other health-focused businesses across the United States. Through his work with Rosa damascena, one of the botanical world's most prized roses, he has developed wellness products and herbal tonic recipes for recognized brands, including Erewhon and Café Gratitude.
An active user and independent student of generative AI since ChatGPT's public launch, Nikolai has studied its human impact from every angle, listening to the people building the technology as well as historians, psychologists, business leaders, and spiritual teachers interpreting what it means for our behavior, relationships, identity, and sense of purpose. He created the AI Transition Table to bring these questions out of private reflection and into an honest, structured, and collective conversation.
