The AI hype train is real. Everyone feels the FOMO of not being on the latest model or using the latest tooling. We constantly see the headlines of "I've 100x my revenue and fired all my employees" but none of it feels right.
If you run an agency, or are part of management, you're likely struggling to figure out what the shift to AI really means. How do you compete with the solo shops able to vibe code without any overhead? How do you shift and train your employees from being the one doing the work to being the one coordinating the work? How do you get clients on board with all of this?
I'll be sharing some real world examples of how we've been tackling all these topics and more with our agency, and what has worked and what hasn't. I'll share how we've shifted to agentic coding without any of the vibe-coding slop through distilling our agencies almost 2 decades of experience into the real differentiator. We'll cover how we're automating our project management to let us focus more on the client by utilizing agents in the issue queues, workflows, QA, and releases. What we're seeing from client adoption and what tools are out there that can provide a deeper value to your clients. Most of all we'll be open on what's worked and where we still feel like we're figuring things out.
It'll be an open discussion where we can talk freely about the challenges we are all facing, how the industry is shifting, and how we can support each other through it all. No one agency has it figured out, so let's figure it out together.
