AI Work Design: Building AI Systems For the Work Your Company Needs to Do (Louisville)
Vanderbilt AI Innovation Comes to Louisville
Following the success of our Nashville series, CR8.io and Vanderbilt University's College of Connected Computing are bringing cutting-edge, university-developed AI frameworks to Louisville Vanderbilt alumni and community.
This is the AI workshop to put you ahead of the curve. Don't miss it.
This evening features education content created by Dr. Jules White (Senior Advisor to the Chancellor on Generative AI, Vanderbilt) — delivered hands-on by Bzur Haun (Vanderbilt Strategy Office and CR8.io CEO) and Andrew Fraser (CR8.io Head of Engineering). Louisville gets early access to next-generation AI work design frameworks before their broader release.
The Opportunity: Move beyond conversational AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. Learn to design coordinated AI systems that work across your actual business processes — files, tools, teams, and workflows. Walk in with a critical problem. Walk out understanding how to turn it into AI-managed work.
Who Should Attend
Professionals already comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) and ready for the next step
Operators, analysts, and functional leaders in mid-sized companies
Business leaders evaluating how AI can create capacity without adding headcount
Technical and semi-technical professionals exploring agentic workflows
Teams managing messy, repeatable, cross-system work that current tools don't handle well
Louisville business leaders in healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and professional services scaling AI beyond pilots
Not ready yet? If you're brand new to AI tools, spend a few weeks with ChatGPT or Claude first — then join us. You'll get much more value when you're ready.

About the C.O.D.E.R. Framework
Developed by Dr. Jules White and the Vanderbilt Amplify GenAI Innovation Center, C.O.D.E.R. is a practical method for designing AI-native systems across five work modes:
C — Compute: Batch operations, transformations, processing at scale
O — Organize: Structuring files, folders, information
D — Display: Dashboards, reports, visualizations, outputs
E — Engineer: Pipelines, automations, integrations, workflows
R — Reason: Research, analysis, synthesis, decision support
These five modes form the foundation for coordinated AI systems running multiple agents across multiple tracks simultaneously.
About MAJK
MAJK is CR8.io's local-first AI platform for designing and running multi-agent workflows, built on AWS Bedrock (available on AWS commercial marketplace). Unlike chat tools, MAJK coordinates agents, tools, workflows, and local files under explicit user control to execute work — not just discuss it.
CR8.io also developed Amplify AI, another enterprise solution on AWS Bedrock marketplace.
About the Partnership
Vanderbilt's College of Connected Computing is Vanderbilt University's hub for advancing generative and agentic AI research, education, and operational innovation. Under the College of Connected Computing, the AGI Center pioneers responsible AI frameworks and brings university tools to broader communities.
CR8.io brings Vanderbilt-developed AI Work Design frameworks and enterprise tools to the commercial market through hands-on training and enterprise-grade platforms.
Dr. Jules White (Senior Advisor to the Chancellor on Generative AI, Professor of Computer Science) leads education framework development. He's educated over 1 million learners worldwide. Allen Karns serves as the College of Connected Computing's Chief AI and Technology Officer.
