AI in Action: From Automation to Human-AI Collaboration

AI in Action – From Automation to Human-AI Collaboration
Live from Munich + Online on our YouTube Channel

You’ve mapped your processes.
You’ve digitized the messy middle.
Now it’s time to integrate AI — meaningfully, sustainably, and with real-world results.

In this third and final session of our Innovation Gym series, we shift focus from systems to human-AI collaboration — not in theory, but in practice.

Juliane Gottmann brings the industrial view:
She’ll show how science-backed AI strategies are already changing production workflows in Germany. From predictive maintenance to AI-assisted decision support, her work at the AI-Production-Network bridges academia and industry — with solutions designed to last.

Dave Bayless zooms in on the human side of AI-enabled automation:
From automating repetitive tasks to building just-smart-enough custom web tools, Dave lays out how no-code platforms and light Python scripting can empower teams to build their own workflows — fast,
focused, and friction-free.

Expect insights into:

• What AI can do today in real-world environments — from the factory floor to team tools
• Where humans stay in the loop, and why that’s essential
• How to think beyond Zapier steps and start designing user-facing software
• Why learning just enough code is the next power skill for innovation leaders
• How tools like Replit, Softr, and Zite open new doors — without blowing the budget or needing a dev team

This isn’t an AI keynote. It’s not a “future of work” panel.
It’s a live, hands-on session for people building systems now — with real use cases, real tech, and real perspective.

### 🎤 Your Speakers:

Dr. Juliane Gottmann
Scientific Managing Director, AI Production Network / University of Augsburg
Juliane connects research with practice. Her vision: AI that enables sustainable, responsible industrial innovation — and keeps manufacturing competitive in Germany.

Dave Bayless
Co-Founder, Human Scale Business
From mapping to automation to custom tooling, Dave shows how today’s tools (Zapier, Replit, Softr) can empower teams to build what they need — and why now’s the time to learn a little Python.

### 🧰 Format:

• Lightning talks (in English)
• Live case studies and demos
• Optional Q&A
• Interactive breakout (via event platform for registered participants or onsite)
• Open to founders, operators, HR leads, and builders in innovation, production, and automation

Hosted by Pripares - Produced by Founders Fight Club - Supported by Zapier - In collaboration with AI Production-Network Augsburg

No fluff. No shortcuts. Just smart, pragmatic progress.
