SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:Skills for Human-AI Ideation: How to use AI to develop your plan\, before you enter planning mode.  \nToday’s coding is about specification driven development or test driven development (TDD)\, but in reality we need ways to automate our basic thinking so that we can be more meta. This month’s speaker\, Nathan Conklin\, plans to teach a little about AI Skills\, how to automate ideation\, and show his workflow for idea generation and capture.  \nTools like Obsidian / SecondBrain can help you organize your ideation. Once you have automated the capture of your advanced ideas\, you will be ready to plan extremely complex projects and the coding becomes simple.  \nSpeaker Spotlight\nNathan Conklin is a Virginia Tech Computer Science PhD Candidate.  He has 24 years of systems development for US Navy and Royal Australian Navy submarine systems.  His area of interest and research is in Human-AI collaboration in the development of software and visualization systems. \n \n \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:This month we’re shifting from presentation into practice with an AI Study Hall. Come with something you’re trying to figure out and leave having made progress on it. \nAI curious? Already vibe coding? Bring a laptop\, tablet\, or whatever device you prefer\, along with a problem\, project\, or question you’ve been stuck on. We’ll spend the session troubleshooting and workshopping\, with experienced users in the room to help you get unstuck.  \n\n\nAI Decoded is RBTC’s recurring conversation about artificial intelligence. Each session tackles a different angle\, from beginner-friendly intros to more advanced\, business-focused deep dives. \nYou do not need to be an RBTC member to attend. AI Decoded is open to everyone; the curious\, the skeptical\, and the already-tinkering.  \n \nSpeaker Spotlights\nDavid Bates is Director of Innovation at Ozmo\, where he focuses on long-term technical strategy\, exploring new product directions\, and figuring out which new technologies are actually worth building into products. He works across growth\, product\, and engineering to prototype\, validate\, and turn emerging ideas into practical capabilities.

SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve experimented with AI but haven’t gotten much further than writing emails\, this is for you!  In this talk\, JP Azevedo breaks down Claude Code\, the tool he uses to run his entire studio\, in plain language\, no technical background required. This isn’t a talk about where AI is headed or what it might do someday. It’s a practical look at what you can start doing now. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what’s actually possible for a business your size\, what’s hype\, and concrete first steps you can take that same week. \nThis session welcomes all experience levels. If you’re AI-curious or already building with artificial intelligence tools\, you’ll find something useful here.  \n\n\nAI Decoded is RBTC’s recurring conversation about artificial intelligence. Each session tackles a different angle\, from beginner-friendly intros to more advanced\, business-focused deep dives. \nYou do not need to be an RBTC member to attend. AI Decoded is open to everyone; the curious\, the skeptical\, and the already-tinkering.  \n\n \nREGISTER NOW
