Each team tackled these challenges, presenting their solutions at the event's conclusion. Throughout the evening, investors had the chance to network, connect with founders, and enjoy delightful food and drinks, making it a memorable and enriching experience.

The night was filled with engaging talks, informative presentations, and valuable insights. This led us to the following key points. 👇

• Michael Founder, Builders: One can use AI when we would normally use automation. Even support emails or calls, could become sophisticated training grounds for our AI models. Rather than striving for automation, let's strive for learning and innovation.
• Saul CTO, Noon: Generative AI has some exciting potential uses at Noon unrelated to chatbot functionality, including for extracting insights from user well-being data and sentiment analysis of messages in public Slack channels.
• Hendrik-Jan CEO, Noon: I love how involved participants were, understanding the core of who we are and what we want to achieve with Noon, how AI could potentially be of value, but also why we should not jump into the whole AI circus for all the wrong reasons.
• Steven CTO, Obeyo: Instead of focusing on putting AI in our businesses, we should focus on which jobs need to get done and see if new technologies can help us do them much better or faster.
• Jeroen EIR, Moris: It's an invaluable thought process to compare Moris' problem/solution fit and see how (completely) different industries tackle it, take those best practices and then place a massive boost on that leveraging the power of both AI and ML.
