I speak to founders, operators, executive teams, and technical leaders about putting AI to work inside real businesses. Every session is grounded in systems that shipped, lessons learned, and decisions your audience can use the next day.

Visit Colorado Startup WeekA practical session about adding AI to existing operations without replacing the entire software stack. The audience will learn how to find the right first use case, avoid expensive distractions, and move from an idea to a system people actually use.
Panels, founder conversations, and podcasts about what changes when AI moves out of the browser tab and into the business.
A founder-focused conversation about what is real in AI, what is noise, and where businesses should begin—covering design, culture, strategy, security, jobs, and the path from curiosity to a working system.
A conversation about how small teams and AI-powered founders can compete with much larger organizations, with lessons from putting AI into real businesses—not just running experiments.
A 45-minute conversation with Devon Tilly about how small businesses can start with one useful AI project, test it in the real operation, and expand only after the value is clear.
Every session can be adapted for founders, operators, executive teams, technical leaders, or a mixed audience. The examples stay practical and the language stays clear.
Add intelligence to the systems a company already runs without forcing a costly platform replacement.
Choose the right first workflow, scope it honestly, and move from a promising demo to dependable daily use.
Make clear decisions about infrastructure, access, data boundaries, deployment, and long-term ownership.
Real stories from voice, private knowledge, finance, legal research, and workflow automation—including the first misses.
