SUMMARY:ATC April Roundtable Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Humans + AI: Building Teams that Outthink\, not just Outperform\nNavigating the Intersection of Human Intent and AI Agency (The Workplace Angle). In an era of “tool overload\,” leaders face a high-stakes balancing act between driving efficiency and preserving the human ingenuity that defines their brand. This session provides a roadmap for managers to integrate agentic AI without eroding team morale or sacrificing critical thinking.\n\nClosing Takeaway\n“The goal of AI integration isn’t to remove the human from the loop\, but to elevate the human to a higher loop.” The audience should leave understanding that the “right choice” isn’t about which tool has the best API\, but which tool reinforces their team’s sense of agency and expertise rather than replacing it.\n\nSpeaker: Sridhar Sudarsan\n\nSridhar Sudarsan\, Chief AI Strategist at EX Squared\, is a distinguished technologist\, executive leader\, entrepreneur\, investor\, and AI futurist\, currently serving as the founder of an advisory practice helping organizations deploy AI at scale and drive transformational business outcomes. Over the past three decades\, he has led intrapreneurial initiatives for Fortune 500 companies and scaled AI start-ups. As the former CTO at IBM Watson Platform and Partnerships and Avathon\, Sudarsan has pioneered AI strategies across energy\, manufacturing\, aerospace and defense and health sectors.  He also serves as Adjunct Professor for Machine Learning at the University of Southampton.

SUMMARY:AI Video Production and Digital Twins
DESCRIPTION:AI Video Production and Digital Twins\nVideo production used to mean equipment\, editing software with a learning curve\, and the uncomfortable reality of being on camera. AI has changed all three. This 3.5 hour class shows you exactly how\, and gives you hands-on time with the tools that are making it happen.\nUsing NotebookLM\, Riverside\, Descript\, and HeyGen\, you’ll move through a complete production workflow live in class: turning research into a script\, recording and editing footage\, and generating finished video with an AI avatar you build yourself. You’ll leave understanding not just what these tools do\, but how they connect and why that matters for anyone who creates content.\n\n\nWhat You’ll Be Able to Do\n\nTransform documents\, research\, or rough notes into a ready-to-record video script using NotebookLM\nRecord clean\, professional footage from any location using Riverside. No studio required.\nEdit video in Descript by editing text. Cut filler\, remove stumbles\, and tighten your message without touching a timeline.\nProduce faceless explainer-style video without ever appearing on camera\nBuild your own AI avatar in HeyGen and generate a finished video with it\, live\, in class\n\n\nWhat Makes These Session Different\nAI has enabled a new generation of video tools that not only make production faster\, they make it look easy. Most video tools make production faster. These tools make it fundamentally different. NotebookLM eliminates the blank page. Descript eliminates the timeline. HeyGen eliminates the on-camera requirement entirely. Together\, they represent a new model for how video gets made: one person\, no crew\, a fraction of the cost.\n\n\nWho It’s For\nMarketers\, educators\, founders\, and communicators who need to produce video content but haven’t found a process that fits how they actually work. No video experience required.\n\n\nBefore You Arrive\nA little setup ahead of time means more building and less waiting on class day. \n Required: \n\nA charged laptop (phones and tablets won’t work for this)\nA topic in mind\, something you’d genuinely want to make a video about\nA Google account (for NotebookLM)\nFree accounts created at: Riverside.fm\, Descript.com\, and HeyGen.com\n\nNo video production experience required. A willingness to make something real in under four hours: required. \n\n \nNeed-Based Scholarships Available\n\n \n\nWhile refunds are not available\, we’re committed to making this accessible. A limited number of scholarships are available for individuals who would not otherwise be able to attend. If cost is a barrier\, please reach out to us at info@austin-ai.org to learn more. \n \nA special thanks to our host and alliance member SKG. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nSteve Mudd is the CEO of Talentless AI\, an AI-native creative studio based in Austin. A 2026 AI Leadership Award winner from the Austin AI Alliance\, Steve is a writer\, filmmaker\, and AI practitioner who has built production workflows using tools like HeyGen\, Descript\, Riverside\, and NotebookLM for brands and studios. He currently serves as an AI Expert for B2B Marketing’s Propolis community\, and his AI content has generated over 10 million views across TikTok\, LinkedIn\, and YouTube. He runs AI bootcamps\, coaching sessions\, and hands-on workshops that help marketers\, educators\, and creators adopt AI tools into their actual work.

SUMMARY:Beyond Chatbots—The Rise of the AI Agent
DESCRIPTION:Join us in-person on Tuesday\, May 5th!\n\n\n**This event will be held in person only. \nChatbots are powerful\, but we are not moving past the era of simply “chatting” with Generative AI models to create\, analyze\, summarize\, and transform content. The next frontier has arrived: AI agents\, and agentic systems. AI Agents are taking these models to the next level by moving from conversation and generation to action and autonomy. This presentation will explore how agents leverage the reasoning power of LLMs to independently plan\, use tools\, and execute complex workflows. We are transitioning from AI as a digital assistant to AI as a digital colleague—capable of driving massive leaps in productivity\, scientific research\, and business innovation. \nIn this presentation\, Austin Forum executive director Jay Boisseau and his expert panelists will cover: \n\nThe Anatomy of an Agent: Understanding how agents differ from standard LLMs. We will break down the “Agentic Workflow”—how these systems perceive a goal\, decompose it into tasks\, and use iterative reasoning to complete them without constant human prompting.\nAutonomy & Productivity: How agentic frameworks enable “autonomous loops\,” allowing for 24/7 research\, automated coding\, and complex project management that scales beyond human capacity.\nThe Tooling Landscape: A deep dive into current state-of-the-art agentic tools. We will discuss the impact of platforms like Claude Cowork\, which integrates seamlessly into professional environments\, and OpenClaw\, the open-source movement pushing the boundaries of agentic control.\nGetting Started: Practical advice for individuals and organizations ready to move beyond the prompt. We’ll cover how to identify “agent-ready” tasks and the best frameworks for deployment.\nThe Future Horizon: A look at the evolving landscape. As agents become more capable\, what does a world of “agent-to-agent” communication look like\, and how will it reshape the global economy?\n\nThese agentic technologies can be used by anyone\, and anyone can learn to configure their agents and develop their own systems to greatly enhance their productivity and impact. Join us to learn how to supercharge your work\, career\, company\, and life with agentic AI! \n \n \nAgenda \n​5:15-6:15 p.m. In-person Networking \n6:15-7:30 p.m. Presentation \n7:30-7:45 p.m. Q&A \n​8:00 p.m. Networking \n \nAttendance Instructions \nIn-person \nJoin us at The Center for Government and Civic Service\, ACC Rio Grande: Building 3000 where you will be checked in at the front. Parking map here! \nIn-person attendees\, please join us from 5:15 to 6:15 for networking and snacks. We look forward to chatting with you face-to-face!
