0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks

ProductTank NoVA is back!

After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building.

Every product feed is flooded with AI hype right now, but what does it actually look like on the ground? Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting 0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product.

The framing for the talks is simple: "Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on." We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products.

(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)

Agenda:

• 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Doors open, networking, & name tags
• 6:00 PM - 6:10 PM: Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro
