## Struggling to Get Leads from People Who Don’t Know You? You’re posting content… trying different strategies… maybe even using AI tools… But still not getting consistent leads or customers. If that sounds familiar, this session is for you. ## How AI Can Help You Attract Cold Leads (Without Overcomplicating It) In this live, in-person workshop, you’ll learn simple and practical ways to use AI to: * Reach cold audiences more effectively * Generate interest without sounding “salesy” * Create content that attracts potential customers * Approach lead generation in a clearer, more structured way Everything will be explained in a beginner-friendly manner — no technical background required. ## Imagine Having a Clearer Way to Attract Customers Instead of guessing what works… You’ll start to see how to: * Turn strangers into interested leads * Use AI to save time and effort * Build a simple approach to attract potential customers This session focuses on practical understanding — not theory. ## Secure Your Seat This is a small-group, in-person session to ensure quality learning and interaction. 👉 Reserve your seat now to learn how to start attracting leads and customers using AI.

Welcome back to our meetup in June. * **06:00 PM** Registration, dinner, networking * **06:30 PM** Talk starts Talk 1: Practical AI from Gemini Embedding 2 for Simplified RAG Search with Rich Context and Less Preprocessing - Imagine the possibilities if you could find a document using an image, or find audio from a report, or find a video with a sentence. \- Simplifies RAG Systems \(one multimodal retrieval pipeline instead of multiple fragmented systems\) \- Less preprocessing \(e\.g\. no transcription needed\) less infrastructure complexity \- Richer context \(text \+ visuals \+ audio\) \- A major step from “document chatbots” to truly context\-aware AI systems Gemini Embedding 2 changes what Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can fundamentally do. Instead of treating text, images, audio, video, and documents as separate systems, AI can now retrieve and reason across all of them together in one shared understanding layer. This means users can search videos with natural language, retrieve diagrams from spoken conversations, match screenshots to documentation, or ground AI agents with real-world multimodal context — capabilities that were previously complex or unreliable without multiple specialized pipelines. Talk 2: Designing Memory Systems for AI Agents AI agents need memory to maintain context across sessions, learn from experience, and handle long-running tasks. The challenge? Deciding what to remember, where to store it, and how to retrieve it when it matters. In this workshop, you'll learn a practical framework for architecting memory systems that actually work in production. We'll cover: \- Types of memory in agentic systems \- Storage patterns: Where to persist memories and how to structure them for retrieval \- Retrieval strategies: Combining vector search with metadata\, recency\, and other signals \- Memory lifecycle: When to create\, update\, or prune memories to keep your system performant You'll apply this framework by building memory into an AI agent and seeing how different design choices impact behavior. You will be provided with all the resources required to successfully execute the hands-on portions of the workshop, including Jupyter Notebook templates with pseudocode. During the workshop, you will replace the pseudocode in the templates with your code. At the end of the workshop, you will also be able to check your learning and earn a skill badge to share with your network! https://learn.mongodb.com/courses/memory-for-ai-applications ## **Future Talk: TBA** **Awaiting confirmation: Federated Layer to Manage a Multi-Agent Synthetic Workforce** Agents are starting to act as workers in real production systems, and workers need a management layer. The question everyone should take back to your laptop: in my own agent stack, what happens on the second concurrent write, and can I prove, today, under whose authority my agent acted? How do I manage my synthetic workforce in production.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

**Abstract:** Motivated by the challenges of detecting extremely rare failures in sophisticated circuit design specifications, we study the problem of efficiently identifying multiple disjoint regions of interest (ROIs) — regions of a continuous, high-dimensional parameter space where a complex, expensive-to-evaluate target function falls below or above a pre-specified threshold. We reframe this problem as a Bayesian sequential decision-making problem and, more broadly, as an instance of strategic agent behavior in continuous spaces: an agent that must allocate a hard evaluation budget intelligently, updating its belief about the unknown function after each observation and choosing the next query to maximize coverage of all disjoint failure regions rather than convergence to a single optimum. This is a *hybrid* event.
