Building Better AI Tools: From Prompts to Production

Event Description

How do you move from interesting AI demos to AI tools you can actually rely on?

This AI Collective – Dallas meetup is a community-driven session focused on practical AI tools for real work and everyday use. We’ll bring together leaders, builders, and curious practitioners to explore how AI is being applied across business, productivity, and problem-solving—through shared learning, discussion, and real examples.

Featured Workshop

The AI Kitchen: Choosing the Right Tools, Ingredients, and Prompts for the Job
with Samantha St. Louis, VP of AI App Innovation at Atmosera

In this interactive workshop, Samantha reframes AI as a well-stocked kitchen—where results depend on choosing the right tools and approaches for the problem at hand.

You’ll see live demonstrations of multiple AI tools, learn when prompting matters and when it doesn’t, and walk away with a simple framework for evaluating AI ideas and use cases. The session includes an audience challenge where participants apply what they’ve learned to design a strong AI-powered solution.
