IA•AI (Iowa Artificial Intelligence) - November 2025

​***This month's program***

​Get ready for a hands-on session with Greg Edwards, CEO of WatchPoint IT, as he dives into Replit, the collaborative online development environment that’s transforming how teams build software.

​Greg will break down what Replit is, how it works, and how you can use it to quickly prototype and deploy AI-driven applications. Then we’ll turn theory into action with a 20-minute live build challenge and see who can create the most creative app under pressure.

​Greg will also share how he’s using Replit at WatchPoint IT to streamline internal development, accelerate automation projects, and experiment with new AI concepts. Whether you’re a seasoned coder or simply curious about AI tools in action, this session will give you practical takeaways (and maybe a bit of friendly competition).

​Greg Edwards, Tech Entrepreneur & Innovator | Founder of WatchPoint IT, Axis Backup & Canauri | Speaker on Cybersecurity & AI Trends and co-founder of IA•AI (Iowa Artificial Intelligence).
