Hands-on Workshop: What AI Can't Decide For You | Breakout Foundry x Xmartlabs

🧠 What AI Can't Decide For You
📍 Downtown Seattle | 🎯 Working Session • 🩺 Real Case Study • 🍻 Reception to Close

Most of Tech Week will show you what AI can build. This one is about what you shouldn't decide alone.

We're bringing together a product delivery team with real digital health clients, a UW HCI professor, and a founder community's lens for an evening built around one real, anonymized product problem: a chronic care startup whose AI-assisted roadmap quietly grew into something the team never meant to build.

No healthcare background needed. The case is chosen because everyone has a stake in how care feels, not because you need clinical expertise. What matters is your curiosity about the question, not your resume.

You'll work in small groups to decide where the line between AI and human judgment actually belongs, then see where a real team drew it. No slides, no deck pitches.

6:00 — Arrival and drinks
6:15 — Structured dialogue: research, delivery, and founder perspectives on the case
7:00 — Working session: small groups, a real brief, a 45-minute build of your own point of view
8:00 — Reception and open networking

Drinks and light bites provided. Bring your own ideas.
