AI implementation is a major challenge for many founders, with 80-90% of attempts failing due to ineffective use of tools. In this workshop, Trevor Longino, Founder of CrowdTamers, will teach you how to use AI as a powerful partner to enhance your creativity and execution, not as a replacement for your thinking. You'll discover how to identify the most impactful tasks AI can handle, while leveraging your unique skills where AI can't. Ready to integrate AI into your workflow and accelerate your startup? This workshop is for you!
What You'll Learn:
  • Why 80-90% of AI implementations fail and how to avoid costly mistakes.
  • How to train AI to work alongside you as a strategic partner, not just a tool.
  • Identify the tasks you can delegate to AI for maximum efficiency and impact.
  • Build simple, repeatable systems that generate complexity and drive results.
  • Practical examples: turn unstructured ideas into actionable tasks and use AI for faster, smarter work (138 words per minute vs. 65 by typing).
