About the topic

Everyone is told to “use AI,” yet few companies see real business impact. Tools multiply, experiments stall, and scalability remains fragile.

In this workshop, Dragos and Daria move beyond hype to address the real question: how AI fits into the business model itself. Through structured analysis, real-world case studies, and practical frameworks, participants learn where AI creates leverage, how to evaluate ROI, and when to move from human augmentation to automation and AI agents.

This session is not about doing more with AI.
It’s about building businesses that scale — clearly, sustainably, and intentionally.
