AI tools and features are now common across product roadmaps — but the toughest work is designing AI that fits real workflows, governing it, and scaling it in production. This meetup brings together product-level UX, enterprise platform strategy, solo-founder validation techniques, and indie app monetization — four practical angles on shipping AI that creates value.
