Shepherd x Browserbase - AI Fireside Chat
Two companies. Two wildly different approaches to AI. One unfiltered conversation.
Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Browserbase founder (Paul Klein IV) and Shepherd founding engineer (Avi Banerjee) as they go deep on the trade-offs, triumphs, and curveballs of building AI that actually works in the real world. Hosted by Shepherd's very own, Gabriel Dalessandro.
📅 August 13 @ 6:30 PM
📍 Shepherd HQ – 900 Kearny St, San Francisco 7th Floor
On the agenda:
We’ll explore what it means to go deep — solving highly specialized, mission-critical problems — and what it means to go broad — creating foundational tools that can flex across industries and use cases. Expect candid takes on:
Why some AI strategies scale like wildfire while others stay niche (and why that’s not always a bad thing)
The secret sauce behind evaluating AI when “right” is hard to define
How AI transforms not just products, but the way companies operate
The messy, behind-the-scenes build-vs-buy decisions that define an AI stack
What the “AI engineer” of the future really looks like (spoiler: it’s not what you think)
This won’t be your usual safe, surface-level panel. We’re talking real challenges, surprising wins, and the questions most people don’t ask — plus a dash of friendly rivalry and maybe a few hot takes.
Space is limited! RSVP now to save your spot. Snacks & drinks will be available. Open to developers, engineers, and platform teams!
