From AI Curious to AI First: One Real Hawaiʻi Business, Live, Start to Finish

From AI Curious to AI First 🤖

Join us as a real Hawaiʻi business owner hands over their business for a live demonstration of building an AI roadmap from start to finish! No slides, no pre-baked content—just real-time insights. Bring your questions!

What to Expect:

• Cold Start to Finished Deliverable: Watch the entire process unfold:
  • From cart checkout to notifications hitting my phone 📲
  • Live intake questionnaire filled out by the owner 📝
  • Automated pre-call prep running while we talk 🔄
  • A live discovery call with real questions about a real business, unscripted 🎤
  • Processing that fires the moment we hang up 🔥
  • The draft output and the exact point where the system stops and a human takes over 🛑

While the machine works, we’ll discuss strategy, including:

• Common pitfalls in new AI projects
• The difference between AI-curious and AI-first businesses
• Why the gap isn’t just about budget 💰
• A transparent look at costs compared to global consultancies

Who Should Attend:

Owner-operators, GMs, executives, and anyone in Hawaiʻi responsible for P&L or AI implementation. If you’ve used ChatGPT and want to understand how it can become a valuable system for your business, this session is for you! (Note: For tools roundups or prompting tips, check other sessions on the HTW calendar.)

The Takeaway:

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to approach AI implementation and how engagements work from the outside in. Learn what gets automated, what still needs a person, and what it should cost. This is a unique opportunity to see the seams of the process!

At the end, I’ll introduce the Kamaʻāina AI Accelerator Program for Hawaiʻi businesses.

Event Details:

• Cost: Free 🎉
