The State of Profitable AI

Here’s the problem we’ll solve

AI is moving faster than most teams can track:

• Capabilities are evolving week by week.

• Costs, vendors, and performance benchmarks keep shifting.

• Tooling is exploding — hundreds of products all promising the same results.

Executives, strategists, and operators are left asking the same questions:

• What’s real today vs. hype?

• Which vendors and tools can I actually rely on?

• Where is AI already creating profit — and where is it still a science project?

If you can’t answer these clearly, you risk either falling behind or chasing shiny objects.

This workshop is your shortcut to clarity.

In this 90-minute session, you’ll get:

→ A clear picture of what AI can (and can’t) do right now
→ A framework for navigating the vendor and tool landscape with confidence
→ A set of profitable use cases you can apply immediately

You’ll leave with the knowledge to make smarter decisions — without drowning in noise.
