...Agenda
Founders and operators on the AI tools they actually use.This edition is co-hosted by eChai Ventures, SOLO by Interakt, and DevX.
A gathering of builders who are actively working with the latest AI tools across coding, product, marketing, sales, and internal operations.
The conversation centers on what tools people are trying, how they decide what to adopt, and how they stay current as things keep evolving.
Founders share the stack they rely on, what they have dropped, and what has genuinely improved speed or output. Operators walk through the workflows they use day to day, how they structure prompts, where automation fits in, and what still requires human judgment.
If you are experimenting with AI or already using it in your daily work, this is a space to compare notes, discover new tools, and learn how others are building practical workflows around AI.
