DETAILS

Silicon Valley obsesses over AI agents for office workflows. But 70% of the U.S. workforce doesn't sit at a desk.

While most AI startups build LLM wrappers, Rachael Nemeth architected an AI-native engine for the most underserved segment of the economy: frontline workers.

Before that, Rachael spent 13 years in NYC hospitality (including Union Square Hospitality Group) before writing a single line of code.

Now, as Co-founder & CEO of Opus, she's using Agentic AI to solve the $100B+ training problem for workers juggling three jobs, subway commutes, & zero corporate email.

This is a masterclass in usable architecture & a high-stakes pivot that captured 50,000 users in a few weeks during the global pandemic.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

The Agentic Shift: How the Opus AI assistant delivers operational answers in 9 seconds.
Neural Translation at Scale: Automating content localization into 100+ languages with 99% accuracy.
Closing the Feedback Loop: Converting complaints into targeted training triggers that reduce issues by 60% in 30 days.
When to Burn the Boats: Why Rachael walked away from a growing business in March 2020 to build a venture-scale AI powerhouse.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineering Leads: Design AI-native systems for thin clients in zero-Wi-Fi, high-churn environments.
Product Managers: Move beyond theoretical AI to see real-time user data integrated into automated training loops.
Early-Stage Founders: Navigate pivots & build defensible moats from deep domain expertise.
Investors: Understand why the hidden 70% of the workforce is the next multi-billion dollar AI frontier.
Tickets for this event include food & drinks, as well as exclusive access to this founder who will show you how to build a defensible, high-growth business by solving the gritty operational problems that standard tech often misses.

You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.

Getting a ticket guarantees admission. No waitlisting.
