About this event

AI isn't just headlines and hype. It’s messy, but useful when you can actually make it stick inside your business.

That’s what the AI in Real Life, or (A)IRL is all about.

Join us at Intercom HQ in Chicago for an interactive workshop led by Jazmyn Lopez and Vikas Srinath at PraxIQ, who together bring the perfect mix of strategy, adoption, and legal/technical expertise.

The Art & Craft of AI is a live learning experience to help curious professionals move from AI overwhelm to confident experimentation. This interactive workshop goes beyond the hype to explore how language-based tools really work and how to use them responsibly and effectively. With hands-on activities, live demos, and collaborative challenges, we guide you through essential concepts like prompting, workflows, tool selection, and ethical application.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

  • Actually deploy AI with context + intention

  • Build adoption frameworks that actually stick inside teams

  • Avoid common legal and compliance risks of AI deployment

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a working session designed to help you apply AI in your real life. Whether you're brand new to AI or actively exploring it in your work, you’ll walk away with usable templates, thoughtful insights, and a deeper understanding of how to build smart, scalable solutions using AI. Entrepreneurs, operators, creatives, and changemakers—this one’s for you.

An official partner event of Global AI Month from Startup Grind, and part of Intercom Takeover Week at Startup Grind Chicago!
