**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.

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 building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
