About this event
Most people use AI like a tool. This event is about something more ambitious: designing an AI co-founder that can think alongside you, extend your capacity, and help you move from ideas to execution with more clarity and speed. If you’re building, experimenting, or trying to understand what an AI-native way of working actually looks like, this is a room worth being in. Build Your AI Co-founder: The AI Native Canvas® is an in-person gathering in Jersey City for people who want to work more intelligently with AI, not just around it. Expect practical frameworks, grounded conversations, and a community of people exploring autonomy, product thinking, and the next wave of human-AI collaboration. About the Event This event centers on the idea of the AI Native Canvas®: a way to think through how AI can function as a true collaborator in your work. Rather than treating AI as a simple chatbot or one-off assistant, the session looks at how to define roles, workflows, decision points, and systems that make AI genuinely useful in real-world projects. The format is designed to be interactive and applied. You should expect a mix of structured guidance, live discussion, and peer-to-peer exchange. The goal is not to overwhelm you with abstract theory, but to help you leave with a sharper model for how AI can fit into your own process, whether you’re building a company, leading a team, or developing independent projects. Because this is an in-person event, a big part of the value is the room itself. You’ll be surrounded by people who are actively curious about autonomy, technology, and new ways of working. That creates a stronger kind of learning environment: one where ideas can be challenged, refined, and made more practical through conversation. What to Expect You can expect the session to move from concept to application. The event will likely begin by framing what an "AI co-founder" really means in practice: not replacing judgment, but expanding your ability to research, draft, analyze, test, and iterate faster. From there, the conversation will focus on how to map your own work onto an AI-native model. That may include questions like: What parts of your workflow should stay human-led? Where can AI take on repeatable cognitive tasks? How do you structure prompts, systems, and feedback loops so outputs improve over time? What does autonomy look like when quality, speed, and trust all matter? You should also expect discussion that is useful across different roles and levels of experience. Whether you’re very hands-on with AI already or still trying to understand how to move beyond casual experimentation, the event is set up to help you think more clearly about implementation. There will also be space for community and networking. That matters here because many of the best insights around AI adoption come from hearing how other smart people are testing tools, building workflows, and dealing with the practical constraints of real projects. The conversations before, during, and after the formal session may be just as valuable as the presentation itself. Why Attend The strongest reason to attend is simple: AI is changing how ambitious people build, decide, and operate. But there is a big difference between using AI occasionally and creating a repeatable system that meaningfully changes your output. This event helps close that gap. You’ll leave with a clearer language for thinking about AI collaboration. Instead of asking vague questions like "How should I use AI?" you’ll be better equipped to ask sharper ones about roles, leverage, process design, and decision-making. That shift alone can make your experimentation more effective. This is also a good fit if you value practical insight over hype. The focus is on how AI can support real work: product development, strategy, research, communication, operations, and creative problem-solving. If you’ve been looking for a way to make AI feel less scattered and more integrated, this event should give you useful direction. Just as importantly, you’ll meet others who are taking this seriously. In a space crowded with noise, finding thoughtful peers can accelerate your own learning. The community angle is not a side benefit here; it’s part of the core value. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Jersey City, USA, which makes it a strong option for attendees who want real conversation, direct engagement, and the kind of focused attention that’s harder to get online. If you do your best thinking through discussion and live interaction, the format will work in your favor. The event takes place on Sunday, June 7 at 11:00 AM EDT. A late-morning start gives you room to arrive settled and ready to engage, whether you’re local or coming in from nearby. A few practical reasons to plan ahead: Arrive with enough time to check in and get oriented Bring a notebook or device if you like capturing frameworks and ideas in real time Come prepared to talk about your current workflow, project, or questions around AI Leave space after the event if you want to continue conversations with other attendees If you’re curious about what it means to build with AI in a more native, intentional way, this event offers a concrete place to start. You won’t just hear about the future of work with AI, you’ll get a better framework for participating in it.
Who should attend
If you’ve been thinking, “I know AI is powerful, but I want a clearer way to actually build with it,” this event is for you. - You’re a founder, operator, or independent builder who wants AI to do more than generate text and instead become part of how you plan, execute, and make decisions. - You work in tech, product, strategy, creative, or operations and want a more structured framework for integrating AI into your day-to-day workflow. - You’ve experimented with AI tools already, but you’re looking for a better model for autonomy, repeatability, and real leverage. - You’re curious about what an "AI co-founder" could look like in practice and want examples, discussion, and a way to think it through with other serious people. - You value being in the room with smart, engaged peers and want conversations that go beyond surface-level AI hype. - You’re exploring how to work faster and more intelligently without losing judgment, quality, or ownership over the work. You do not need to be a deep technical expert to get value here. What matters most is that you’re interested in building a more intentional relationship with AI and want practical ways to apply that mindset.
