Practical AI at Work: How Execs and Developers Can Actually Use LLMs (with Randal Olson)
Most AI discussions get stuck in “infinite chatbot” demos. This session is different. Randal Olson, Co-Founder of Wyrd Studios and longtime AI researcher known for turning data science breakthroughs into real-world products, joins me to show how executives, managers, and developers can use LLMs today to solve concrete problems, without wasting time on hype.
From catching costly manufacturing defects to serving as your 24/7 institutional intelligence hub, we’ll cover examples where AI already delivers value, and outline how to move from quick wins in ChatGPT or Claude to production-ready tools.
We’ll also explore how to make AI a real thought partner: one that challenges your thinking instead of acting like a “yes-bot.”
We’ll discuss
🔎 How executives can start with ChatGPT/Claude and avoid common dead ends
⚙️ Moving from chat-based prototypes to production systems that scale
🧠 Using AI as a thought partner (and how to prompt it to push back)
🚫 What not to waste time building
Whether you’re an executive looking for the first step, a developer trying to scale a prototype, or someone wondering what’s actually useful beyond hype, this livestream will give you practical ways to put LLMs to work.
If you can’t make it, register and we’ll share the recording after.
