Join Is April 18th, 4-6:30pm MDT Colorado Springs, CO @ XI
No fluff. No hype. Just practical insights you can actually use.
As AI continues to transform industries in 2025, we're witnessing a critical inflection point: the gap between AI hype and successful implementation is widening. At Humanity Innovation Labs and Bobcats Coding, our work across the globe has revealed a consistent pattern in user research, ux/ui design, product design and development—everyone wants AI in everything, but few understand what it takes to build AI-powered products that deliver real value.
That's why we're organizing this special AI CRAFTS COLORADO SPRINGS event on April 18 at Exponential Impact. We are cutting through the noise to share what we've learned from real client projects about the five most pressing challenges in AI product development today. This reality check isn't about dampening enthusiasm for AI's potential, but rather providing the practical frameworks, insights, and warning signs needed to navigate the complex journey from AI concept to successful implementation.
Whether you're trying to distinguish genuine AI innovation from "AI washing," struggling with infrastructure limitations, or wondering how to approach MVP development in the AI era, how to estimate token cost in your AI project, this event will give you frameworks to make smarter decisions about where and how to deploy AI.
Join us this April for straight talk, practical solutions, and the reality check your AI strategy needs. Bring your toughest questions, we've probably seen the challenges you're facing and can share what works.
Space is limited, and based on our previous events, this one will fill up fast. Secure your spot today!

Throughout 2024, we've seen promising projects derailed by misunderstandings about what makes an AI project truly AI. We'll share findings from our research paper on AI washing, introduce our AI product value classification, and provide practical questions to guide your decision-making. Using examples like the Coca-Cola Y3000 campaign, we'll demonstrate how proper terminology can be your compass in distinguishing genuine AI innovation from clever marketing tactics.
