The Future of AI, a presentation at Northern Michigan Startup Week

AI is moving fast - are you moving with it?

Join us for an advanced, insight-packed session with Justin Gauthier, Lead Developer at brightly, as he explores deterministic AI inputs and the emerging developments reshaping how software is built.

This is not an “AI 101” session. It’s for builders, tinkerers, and founders who are already experimenting with AI — and want to go deeper.

In This Session, We’ll Explore:

• What deterministic inputs mean in practical application
• How structured prompting and tooling increase AI reliability and processing power
• The shift from simple prompting to AI-assisted software creation
• How developers are using AI to rapidly prototype apps, reverse-engineer complex systems, and integrate AI into desktop workflows
• What these advancements mean for startups building today

If you’re:

• A startup founder looking to embed AI into your product
• A developer experimenting with next-gen tools
• A technically curious operator or product thinker
• Or simply someone who wants to understand what’s actually happening beneath the AI hype cycle

This session will stretch your thinking and spark ideas about how AI can meaningfully accelerate your work.

Light refreshments will be available.
