Your AI Works. Now What?
Everyone can build an AI demo. The harder question is what happens after people start using it.
For our next Builder's Room, we’re sitting down with Maria Zervou, Chief AI Officer EMEA at Databricks, to talk about the gap between AI experiments and AI products that actually survive.
Maria has seen AI projects succeed, stall, and scale. We’ll get into the decisions builders need to make when the prototype works, from data advantage and trust to sustainability and real-world adoption.
We’ll explore:
Why some AI products become essential while others disappear after the demo
How builders can turn community knowledge and local context into a real advantage
What’s real with AI agents today and what builders should ignore
The first questions to ask before scaling an AI product
How small teams can build trustworthy AI without enterprise resources
This will be an interactive conversation. You’ll have the chance to ask Maria your own questions, share what you’re building, and connect with other builders working on AI projects.
