Applied AI on the Road: Manchester

Applied AI is coming to Manchester.
Join us this November for another Applied AI on the Road, and explore the real-world impact of AI, without the jargon.

Applied AI is an evening of thought-provoking talks, live examples, and down-to-earth discussion focused on how AI is being applied today - in teams, in products, and in the everyday decisions we make at work.

It's for anyone who's curious about how AI is changing the way we work, build, and think. No technical background needed, just bring your curiosity and an open mind. We’re all about keeping things inclusive and welcoming, and we believe the future of AI should be shaped by a diverse mix of voices.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just beginning your AI journey, Applied AI offers a unique opportunity to learn, network, and contribute to shaping the future of AI.

🎤 Why boring problems are the most exciting opportunity for AI

James Hall | Co-founder & AI Tech Lead, Parallax

Most organisations fall into the chatbot trap. As the most ‘visible’ form of AI, many businesses look to implement what they understand and recognise. But this requires building chatbots with massive surface areas of things that could be asked and therefore a massive range of potential outputs. This is very difficult to test and can easily frustrate users.

James’ session will draw upon his vast experience to reveal that the most impactful AI innovations happen in the boring, overlooked processes that nobody thought to automate before. Drawing from real client-facing AI implementations, his talk will demonstrate how to identify high-impact AI opportunities by working backwards from your biggest time drains, rather than forward from the latest AI trends.

Info: This session addresses the gap between AI potential and real-world delivery, exploring how practical innovation leads to greater collaboration, business performance and enhanced employee satisfaction. While organisations rush to implement AI chatbots, they're missing structured automation opportunities that could transform their operations immediately.

The session will combine James’ strategic thinking with tactical implementation guidance, perfect for senior professionals who need to move beyond AI experimentation into delivering measurable business impact.
