Product Tank Toronto : Building Productive AI Agents - From Notion Agent to Founder-AI Execution
🚀 Join ProductTank Toronto for a night exploring how product people and founders are building productive AI agents—from configuring Notion agents to orchestrating systems that design, build, and ship real products.
This session is all about execution: how AI moves beyond experimentation into real workflows that extend your capacity and actually get things done.
If you've attended a Notion Toronto Community event before, you may already know our speakers. This time, they’re bringing their real-world AI practices to the ProductTank stage.
🎤 Dave Menceles, Program Ops Manager @ Notion
Quality In, Quality Out: Putting in the Human Work to Make AI Agents Shine
About Dave:
Dave manages operations for a group of 120+ third-party Notion experts in one of Notion’s certified consultants programs. He leans on a handful of Notion Custom Agents to help him perform his day-to-day work that would otherwise extend way beyond his individual bandwidth.
About his talk:
Dave will share how his Q&A agent helps to support the members of his program with the deep program knowledge he’s imparted to the agent. He’ll also give an short guide on how to set up your own Notion Custom Agents that can work around the clock to perform helpful work on your behalf.
🎤 Josh Gonsalves, Founder @ Contraverse
AI That Builds AI: Orchestrating Agents Into a Real Product Team
About Josh:
Josh Gonsalves is a Toronto-based founder building Formive, an AI platform for creating and sharing powerful AI tools and lead magnets without any code. His work focuses on turning AI into a leveraged system that can research, plan, build, and ship real products autonomously. He hasn’t written a single line of code. Instead, he directs AI systems that do.
About his talk:
Josh will break down how he uses AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor as a coordinated team of AI designers and engineers to build and ship a real product from scratch. He will show how Agent Skills, MCPs, and structured workflows enable these models to collaborate, handling everything from product research and planning to coding, review, bug fixing and shipping production-ready software.
👀This talk is especially relevant for non-technical founders. It demonstrates how you can create solid, production-ready software without being a traditional developer by directing systems instead of writing every line yourself.
If you're still treating AI as a tool, this session will show you how to start treating it as a system that actually executes.
Spots are limited—see you there.
