Introduce yourselves!
Hey guys - we have curated a pretty amazing group of entrepreneurs and AI enthusiasts here. Please introduce yourselves by telling us: Who you are Where you are from Where you are currently at with AI Any recent AI wins Any AI questions? What is your AI vision for your company? Most of the AI learning I've experienced recently has been from shared experiences with others, so I encourage you all to help kick-off this community by sharing a bit about yourselves :)

Hi y'all, I'm Saamra Mekuria-Grillo, founder and CEO of Kindred, an AI-powered network activation platform that is focused better connecting alumni and their schools to increase social and financial capital for both individuals and institutions (and hopefully increase human connection along the way). I'm based in NY, and excited to be part of this community! A recent AI win: we recently started using Replit to dramatically decrease our cost of prototyping new features for our product, which will be a game changer for us in how fast we can move towards launch.
The Future of MyZone AI? Automating AI Strategy & Building Micro AI Learning Communities
Disclaimer: This is the first time I've tried to publicly communicate my latest big vision, and it is evolving quickly... so its not fully formed yet - but its a billion $ idea that I'm committed to: I just met another awesome human being (welcome @Saamra Mekuria-Grillo), via an introduction from another AI thought leader, and we had a great chat about the importance of learning about AI in groups, an our vision for automating AI strategy. I'll let Saamra talk about the vision for her AI start-up, but want ed to share my vision for MyZone AI with you here: In the framework that we are developing (currently called the MyZone AI Blueprint), one critical step is around Education, and one sub-section of that is around "learning about AI in micro-communities". AI is moving so fast, and many of the best practices are changing on a daily basis. Its extremely overwhelming to try and stay on top of it all! By placing entrepreneurs together in groups of other CEO's who are also transitioning to becoming AI first organizations, they can learn so much faster. It started off as a little WhatsApp group, where we have around 600 CEO's that want to learn about AI. Then we started creating sub-communities, like one on MSP's that has 16 CEO's who are learning about AI for managed service providers. A new one I'm creating now for CEO's of AI companies... or soon one for home builders in North America. We then started to branch outside of EO, and launched this Skool community just a couple months ago. I quickly realized that we're going to have to build a custom software application for this... something like Skool, but code that we can own/customize. This will be part of an AI powered strategy automation platform we're actively building. The vision is that entrepreneurs will be able to answer a bunch of (industry specific) questions every quarter about their AI adoption, and it will give them automatic advice on things they should be focused on (based on our book we are writing)... and how they stack up versus others in their industry.
