🧠The AI Collective-Stamford | Stamford AI Meetup | Main Street-Modern Methods
​Join us for Main Street, Modern Methods An innovation framework for local businesses with Dr. Sarbjeet Singh Rayat
​Innovation doesn’t start with new technology, it starts with new thinking. In this interactive session, participants will work in small groups using a structured approach to re-examine existing products, services, and processes, and explore how AI can help accelerate, test, and extend those ideas. Through hands-on work with an actual brick-and-mortar business, the session shows how human judgment and AI together can unlock new growth and create meaningful value from existing assets.
