From Noise to Nuance: Making Today’s AI Tools, Workflows and Agents Work for You
Jim Spellos
The first wave of generative AI showed us how it could draft an email, summarize a document, brainstorm ideas, and analyze information. Now, AI has moved beyond simply chatting with you. It can research, plan, use tools, and take action to get work done. This is where tools, workflows and agents and workflows enter the picture.

Attend this session to cut through the noise, see what’s possible, and discover how to truly put AI to work for you.
