What It Takes to Build Your First Real-World AI Tool

Most AI talks hype what’s possible — this one shows what it actually takes. We’ll break down a real AI system we built and run at live trade shows (a multi-workflow photo kiosk) and share the messy, practical work behind it — from stitching together real-world systems and building missing APIs to getting teams to actually use it. If you’re figuring out where to start, what to build, or how to make AI stick inside your organization, this session delivers real-world lessons and a clear path forward.
