Innovate Orange - August 2025 Meetup

Hey folks,

Our next Innovate Orange Meetup is happening this Thursday from 6pm at the Orange City Bowling Club – and this one’s for the devs, the tech heads, and anyone who’s been poking AI with a stick and wondering what it’ll do next.

We’ve got Pete Hayes stepping up for a talk titled:
🧠 “AI for Professionals – A Developer’s Perspective”

Pete’s been deep in the weeds with machine learning and dev workflows, and he’s ready to share the good, the bad, and the “wait, it did what?” moments. Expect a down-to-earth take on:

• Today’s tooling: what works and what’s just smoke and mirrors
• How to get real value out of frontier models
• Where things might be heading next (hint: it’s not just more chatbots)

Whether you’re already building with AI or just want a clearer picture of how to use it without the hype – this will be a cracker of a session.

See you there.
