Whether you're launching a company, creating content, or developing technology, learn the essentials of intellectual property and hear firsthand lessons from founders who learned its value the hard way.
AI Ask Me Anything (AMA) — Get Real Answers from AI Experts (Live at Venture Café)
Curious about AI but not sure where to start—or stuck trying to actually use it in your work?
Join us for a 90-minute, open AMA with the Serpico AI Learning Center experts. This is your chance to ask anything and get real, practical answers on the spot.
Whether you’re exploring tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Midjourney—or just trying to figure out what AI can actually do for you—we’ll help you cut through the noise.
What you’ll get:
* Live answers to your specific questions
* Practical use cases you can apply immediately
* Help troubleshooting prompts, workflows, or ideas
* Insight from experts actively using AI in real business scenarios
* No presentations. No fluff. Just direct access to people doing the work.
* Bring your questions. Bring your laptop if you want.
AI is powerful. AI is exciting. AI is changing everything…but it's not the right tool for every job. Most business owners are reaching for AI when automation would be faster, or automating what should stay human and ignoring the software they already pay for.
The result? Wasted money, broken customer experiences, and the nagging feeling that everyone else has figured something out you haven't.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn a simple decision framework for knowing when to use AI, when to automate, and when a task belongs in human hands. You'll map your own business and leave with a workflow to redesign this week.
