Discussion Questions:
AI is evolving from transactional chat prompts into persistent, autonomous coworkers that collaborate on ongoing work. How might we redesign our daily work when AI acts as an ongoing partner rather than a simple assistant?
Successful products are built for model capabilities emerging in two to three months rather than present-day limitations. How can we best anticipate near-term model improvements without overshooting into speculative long-term bets?
High-velocity teams thrive when every member acts like a founder and intensely uses their own product daily. How can organizations empower every builder to take full ownership and discover fresh insights through active product use?
👥 Who should join
AI practitioners, startup founders, students, and researchers curious about AI’s development and impact.
