AIPS Webinar - "Cowgirl Coding" - AI-Powered Productivity for Every Role in Tech by Bethany Crystal, CEO and Founder of MuseKat

​We are hosting a webinar with the ffVC AIPS community to talk about "Cowgirl Coding" - AI-Powered Productivity for Every Role in Tech. The AI era is rewriting the rules of who can build and how work gets done. Whether you’re an engineer optimizing your workflow or a non-technical team member turning ideas into automated systems, AI is your new collaborator. Cowgirl Coding is about embracing rapid iteration, expanding the boundaries of creativity, and leveraging AI frameworks to accelerate productivity across all functions of a tech company.

​This session will break down how AI enhances both technical and non-technical workflows, bridging the gap between classical software development and AI-assisted problem-solving. Drawing from her own experiences in building a v1 of her startup in a weekend without code, and from training dozens of leaders in AI, Bethany will explore how anyone—engineers, founders, product managers, marketers, and operators—can apply AI to scale their impact at an unprecedented pace. This session will include practical applications on AI, and a learning framework to guide your thinking.

We encourage you to join the discussion and bring your questions. Feel free to invite your colleagues as well!
