Meet Our 9 Featured Speakers

1. Eric Carr - Hallucinations are a feature of Large Language Models!
2. Adam Terlson - This talk explores how the Finite State Machine and Actor Model power Agentic AI workflows, enabling structured, operable systems for planning, perceiving, and decision-making. It introduces Agentic patterns like tool use, reflection, supervision, and human-in-the-loop, all framed through the lens of state charts.
3. Nam Le - Discover how GUI-navigating agents transform web accessibility by enabling visually impaired users to interact directly with graphical interfaces. These AI agents interpret complex layouts autonomously, creating seamless, inclusive digital experiences.
4. Josh Braaten - Daisy empowers pet parents to make personalized, informed decisions across health, behavior, wellness, and nutrition while organizing all aspects of pet care in one intelligent platform.
5. Dr. Jimmy - Data Maps allow you to identify what data points your model is struggling to learn from so you can clean your training data by identifying mislabeled ground truth and challenging edge cases.
6. Wesley Kisting - A brief overview of how I leveraged AI to develop a Python- and AI-powered market analysis tool to automate insights on competing academic programs in our market. Pleasant surprises, setbacks, and lessons learned, with some added musings on AI's unnerving ability to scheme, deceive, and generally act like a toddler when confronted.
7. Mula Nambwaya - This will be a demo of an AI voice assistant that I am working on for my company. I plan to leverage it to call and qualify new leads within 5 minutes after they submit their info on my website or ads. The assistant will save me time from tire kicker leads and allow me to only work with qualified leads
8. Lori Ryan - Imagine driving to a meeting, talking through your pitch with a calm, clever partner—that’s ChatGPT’s voice feature, your ultimate brainstorming sidekick. In this session, discover how voice-enabled ChatGPT turns everyday moments into productive opportunities, helping you organize thoughts, spark ideas, and prepare for anything life throws your way.
9. Jack Spirou - I'll demonstrate how AgentStation enables AI agents to use virtual workstations just like humans do - controlling real applications and performing complex tasks. Through a live example, I'll show an AI agent completing a complex workflow using multiple applications, explain the key infrastructure that makes this possible, and explore why device use is essential for AI agents to work alongside humans in the future workforce.
10. Adam Sellke - I created a multi-model interface using Replit that enables OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and others to hold "discussions," building on each other’s input, with pauses for human prompts or the option to continue automatically. Future enhancements will let users configure model personas and attributes to shape the dialogue dynamically.
