AI in Plain English: What's real, what's hype and what a local business can do about it.
Jason will also show how owners and their teams can learn AI and put it to work.
Bio:
Jason Bernhardt is the co-founder of Zuzora, a Kelowna company that builds AI Operating Systems for businesses: one system that knows the whole company and puts AI to work across it, from email and files to writing software and customer service. He runs Zuzora on the AI brain he built, and he works with owner-operators making the same shift from scattered legacy software, SAAS, and AI tools to one unified system. His background is a decade of software engineering and game development, including three years as a senior developer on The Tower, one of mobile's biggest idle games.
Talk summary:
AI in Plain English: what's real, what's hype, and what a local business can do about it. AI has quietly moved into everyday work: drafting emails, writing quotes, summarizing meetings, and taking over the paperwork side of many jobs. I'll give a plain-English look at where things really stand, what is overhyped, and what the arrival of the computer a generation ago can teach us about this moment. Then the practical part: how owners and their teams can learn AI and put it to work. Nothing sold, and plenty of room for questions.
Looking forward to it.
