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.

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.

Don’t wait — secure your spot today.\nWhy in person when I can just go online?\n\nThere is a lot of sloppy training out there online.  This in-person program is built by educators who understand learning with professionals who are on the leading edge to give you the best techniques and learning outcomes. \n\nI can’t spare the time.\n\nThese three days will be your most productive three days of the year.  The facilitators will roll up their sleeves with you and give you many AI time-saving techniques.  AI does take time\, but this program rewards you with higher productivity\, greater efficiency\, and more time for you to spend as you desire.\n\n I can’t afford it. \n\nMany employers provide annual skill development funding.  Sometimes these programs encourage “company training programs\,” but many don’t and to be effective in today’s world\, best practices across the industry are extremely valuable.  These skills will translate directly back to your work in many cases.\nWe leverage our membership dues to underwrite this program and provide a limited number of full and partial scholarships.  URL:https://austin-ai.org/event/summer-ai-intensive-2026/ LOCATION:The Center for Government and Civic Service\, ACC Rio Grande: Building 3000\, 1218 West Avenue\, Austin\, TX\, 78701\, United States CATEGORIES:AAIA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://austin-ai.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Summer-AI-Intensive-2026-Promo-banner.png ORGANIZER;CN="Austin AI Alliance":MAILTO:info@austin-ai.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
