About this Event
Hi there!👋
Everyone seems to be using AI tools — and if you have not started, it feels like the gap is only growing.
But 2026 is not about which tools you used. It is about which use-case you solved — and how you proved it was worth doing.
This roundtable helps non-technical founders cut through hype, avoid overbuilding, and choose the smartest use-case first. Not "tool talk" — real business decisions.
Co-hosted by KNN × WAVE
