Founder Therapy: AI Agents in Ops—Cut the Noise, Find the Value
AI is everywhere—but how many companies are actually getting value from AI agents, and how do you even get started? We keep hearing: AI agents will take over your company, reshape jobs, and drive massive growth. Cool story. Now what’s real, what’s bullsh*t, and what pays off?
Join us for a brutally honest conversation with operators who’ve been in the trenches—tried, failed, iterated, and finally figured out what works. This session cuts through the noise to deliver the truth about AI agents—what’s hype, what’s helpful, and how to avoid expensive mistakes.
Featuring:
Reddy Mallidi, author of AI Unleashed
James Goldfinger, Chief Customer Officer & Partner, Customer Times
Kirill Lazarev, Founder & CEO, Lazarev. - Product Design Agency
We will be announcing our other panelists soon!
We’re unpacking:
What works—and what’s still science fiction
Why “autonomous” is misleading and what “smart” agents can really do
How to skill up your team to actually build and use AI agents
Build vs. Buy: How to implement agents without setting your ops on fire
What to look out for before you waste budget or trust
How AI agents are driving real business outcomes and ROI today
How all this changes the way you scale and structure your ops
No fluff. No hype. Just what you need to know to make AI agents work—now, not in 2030.
Who should attend?
Whether you're leading ops, building product, writing code, running strategy—or you're just tired of the AI hype and want to understand how agents actually work—this event is for you.
If you’re curious about how AI agents are being used today (not just talked about), what it takes to implement them, and how they impact real business outcomes, pull up a seat.
Founders, operators, technologists, curious skeptics—you’re all welcome.
