Ai Team Power Up

Futureproof Your Team With a Tailored AI Plan

The AI future is here but not evenly distributed. You have a team aware of some of the impacts, but need a shared understanding and plan, while lacking the time to prepare and proceed. This is an efficient tailored team-aimed course, delivered in-person and virtually. We'll discuss where AI currently works, where it doesn't, and how to prepare for its advances in the future. The important thing is to maintain quality and system oversight while doing so.

The AI Landscape

AI is based on distilled models of reality. The nature of the models lead to behaviours, and those behaviours necessitate controls. We'll start with the fundamental background required for success.

Assistants

AI assistants for coding and research do work, when properly used. The important thing is to maintain quality and oversight while doing so. Give your Developers 20% efficiency gains now and position them for more in the future.

Application Integration

AI provides genuine novel capabilities that can enhance a lot of software applications. Let's review the potential together and plan useful integration if it makes the sense.

Agents

Ignore the YouTube and Twitter hype merchants, Agents don't *currently* work beyond simple use cases. Learn why and what needs to happen for this to change.
