This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing.

AI Workflows PMs Use Every Day

**The agent is just the tip of the iceberg.** An impressive AI demo is easy. Building a workflow you can rely on every day is hard. **Reliability lives in the plumbing:** the right context, connected tools, maintained instructions, deterministic steps, human checks, and visibility when something breaks. ***IMPORTANT:*** *Complete [this form](https://forms.gle/ftS3tNXHyHx8MpA26) prior to the event to receive your entry pass from Cribl via email.* On September 30, ProductTank SF is bringing together product people to share the AI workflows they **rely on every day**. Not prototypes, not polished demos, but the systems that are crucial to how they work. Each speaker will **show their workflow in action**, unpack **what makes it reliable**, and give you a **practical path to build on it yourself**. **KEY TAKEAWAYS** * **Real workflows** — tested systems speakers use in their day-to-day work * **Under the hood** — the context, tools, instructions, documentation, and human judgment that keep them running * **Build your own** — examples, resources, and a shared GitHub repo so you can experiment afterward **THE FORMAT** **Short talks → Audience Q&A** Each speaker gets **10–12 minutes** to show their workflow in action, followed by **10–15 minutes of audience Q&A** to dig deeper into the details. **THE SPEAKERS** **Jorge Alcántara**, CEO and Co-Founder of [Zentrik.ai,](http://zentrik.ai,/) will show how he combines Playwright, Storybook, and Codex to automate product video creation. **Albert Collell**, Senior AI Product Leader at Qurrent and product management instructor at Stanford, will show how an LLM-powered personal wiki turns meetings and interviews into a searchable second brain. **Tom Alterman**, Director of Product at GoodLeap and founder of [Tomek.io,](http://tomek.io,/) will show how he uses AI to take a product idea from concept to pull request. More speakers to be announced. *Attendance will be first-come, first-served.
