**You've used AI. But have you built with it?** **Most of us started the same way — ChatGPT, a few prompts, some generated content. It felt like magic. And it was useful.** **But Gen AI responds. It doesn't act.** **The next stage is already here.** **We're moving from:** **✦ Generative AI — create content, write faster, automate the basics** **✦ Conversational AI — scale your expertise, your voice, talking to your people 24/7** **✦ Agentic AI — your voice experience doesn't just talk. It understands, decides, and executes.** **✦ Exploring how to implement AI safely** **This is what we're exploring at our next Voicepreneur Meetup.** **Whether you're a coach, consultant, creator, or just someone who's been watching the AI wave and wondering where you fit — this session is for you.** **You'll walk away with:** **A clear picture of where AI is today — and where it's going** **A hands on with Azina, an Agentic AI** **A real conversation about what your expertise could become** **An invitation to build your own AI-powered voice experience — for free** **You don't need a technical team. You don't need to write a single line of code.** **📍 James Cook Institute, 150 Orchard Rd, #06-14, Singapore 238841** **🚪 Room #08-09** **👉** Light dinner will be served **Voicepreneur™ is a movement for anyone who believes their knowledge deserves to scale.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how businesses operate, market and grow. AI is no longer just a trend — it is becoming an essential part of today’s business landscape. At the same time, China’s AI ecosystem is evolving rapidly. Platforms such as DeepSeek, Doubao and Kimi are already influencing how Chinese consumers search, travel, and make purchasing decisions before they arrive in Singapore. This creates new challenges and opportunities for SMEs and entrepreneurs looking to stay competitive and visible in the Chinese digital economy. This session brings together industry practitioners to share practical insights on AI adoption, emerging business opportunities, and how companies can position themselves effectively in Singapore’s and China’s evolving AI-driven environment.

**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.
