What you'll learn

Understand why AI projects need a POC first

Learn why skipping a proof of concept (POC) leads to wasted builds and how to avoid the most common AI project mistakes.

Build a playbook using proven frameworks

Apply the Value Proposition Canvas, Lean Canvas, and Customer Journey Map to structure your AI project idea.

Validate your idea before you build anything

Use OKRs, customer discovery, and first principles thinking to test your concept with real criteria.

Why this topic matters

Most AI projects fail not because of bad technology, but because nobody validated the idea first. Teams jump straight to building without confirming there is a real problem worth solving. This session gives you a repeatable process to test any AI project idea before committing resources to it. You will leave with a structured playbook and the frameworks own discovery.

Hi, my name is Sol, I’m a business owner taking on some of my toughest business tasks with AI to increase productivity, and I want to share my learning journey with you so that you can skip the trial and error of using AI.

I’ve built hands-on AI systems using tools like Lovable, Claude Cowork, MindStudio, Claude Code, and Codex. I specialize in turning complex AI concepts into practical systems that professionals and business owners can actually use.

I’m an AI hackathon winner, have published 5 Skills, and teach through real implementation instead of theory.

What makes my teaching different is that I help you become operational with AI and improve productivity that fits directly into your day-to-day work.
