Open lecture "AI and organizational processes"

Companies are launching AI pilots en masse, but there is no return on profits. Most of them have the same story, and it's not because of their choice of model.

AI is an amplifier: launch it into a well–established process – get an acceleration; launch it into a mess - get a fast and massive mess at computer speed. This means that the winner is not the one with the "best neural network", but the one with the engineering processes.

At the lecture, we'll look at what AI actually does to organizational processes, why software development is the "canary in the mine" (she introduced AI earlier and more measureably than anyone else, and her experience will come to support, sales, and back office in a year or two), and how to transfer business to AI systematically, and not pointwise.

What to analyze

• AI is an amplifier, not a magic button: why it multiplies both order and chaos equally.
• The canary in the mine: what the experience of AI software development (2023→2026) teaches any department of the company.
• The "speed ≠ delivery" paradox: +55% for a single task and -19% for experienced developers in real work (METR data) – why is the local acceleration of one employee not equal to the acceleration of the entire value supply chain.
• Business as Code base (Business as Code): processes = code, employees = developers, AI = organization runtime; input/output contracts, guardrails, rollback versions, tests, software review engineering transferred to processes.

For whom

Entrepreneurs, managers, team leaders, and everyone who works with AI.

The analysis is understandable to both technical and non–technical participants - without hype and double-dealing, in understandable language.

Speaker

Pavel Veynik – Founding Architect Hard&Soft Skills, ex-Architect Miro and EPAM, in development since 2003.

See you at the meetup! 🚀

A hands-on meeting on how to understand which skills AI enhances and which ones it already devalues. Let's look at which expertise can be quickly packaged into a product, consultation, training, or subscription, how to check demand, and how to start receiving payment.

Many already have knowledge and experience that people are willing to pay for. It's harder to choose the right format.: what to sell yourself, what to entrust to AI, and which ideas are better to abandon because they will soon become too cheap or unnecessary.

Anton and Andrey, the founders of EasyPay, will tell you:

• What AI hacks do they use in their work?;

• how to use AI to package expertise into a marketable format faster;

• how to monetize consultations, training, subscriptions, and digital products;

• how to accept payments by card and crypto, with withdrawal to fiat, without a long route through a foreign company, bank accounts and classic payments.

Bahrom, the founder of RiskOS Labs, will tell you:

• How to use AI for deep research around your expertise;

• how to find hypotheses for products, consultations, training, and subscriptions;

• how to understand which skills AI enhances, and which services will soon become too cheap;

• how to cut off ideas that are not worth wasting time on.

This is a meeting for those who want to use AI not for the sake of experiment, but to find, package and sell their expertise faster.

June 25, 2026, 20:00 GMT+5

«Живая сборка: AI-Маркетолог за 60 минут»

Главный вебинар серии. Не лекция, а демонстрация — собираем работающего AI-маркетолога с нуля при тебе на экране.

Что будет:— Выбираем одного зрителя из эфира и берём его реальный проект— Собираем промпт-каркас «маркетолог под твой ICP»— Генерируем контент-план на 30 дней — таблица появляется на глазах— Полируем один пост до публикации: хук, структура, CTA— Фиксируем ритм еженедельной работы: что отдаём AI, что оставляем руками

На выходе у выбранного зрителя — готовый контент-план, который можно публиковать с завтра. У всех остальных — точная воспроизводимая методика.

Кому: соло-фаундерам, экспертам, блогерам, продактам — всем, кто делает контент для своего продукта или личного бренда.

Веду: Дмитрий Ватютов, AI Product Coach. Ex-CPO Doshkola Tilly (275K юзеров, exit). Менторил Garderob ($2.5M Seed), Kid Security (5M+ скачиваний), Prosper Pay.

17 июня, 20:00 Алматы / 18:00 Москва.Регистрация — t.me/aistackca

Третий и последний эфир серии перед стартом курса 25 июня.

Что будет:— Покажу результаты зрителя-героя с прошлого вебинара (что получилось, где спотыкается, что я бы изменил)— Открытый Q&A: на любой вопрос про курс, про AI-стек, про запуск своего продукта — без скриптов— Разбор реальных возражений участников серии: «я не технический», «у меня нет идеи», «у меня уже есть бизнес», «дорого», «нет времени»— Финальное предложение по тарифам AIstack, которое действует до 23:59 24 июня

После 25 июня цены вырастают. Следующий поток — через 3+ месяца, дороже.

Кому: тем, кто посмотрел вебинары 1-2 и думает, идти ли в первый поток. И тем, кто сразу пришёл на финал — будет понятно всё с нуля.
