AI in the Wild #1: Proving AI Actually Works

27 August Online

About this event

Upstairs at the The Perseverance, 63 Lamb's Conduit St, London WC1N 3NB

The first AI in the Wild. An evening about what applying AI actually looks like in a real business.

Two questions run through this session. How do you run an AI proof of concept that actually proves something? And what does it really take to build an AI tool that marketers would use and drives measurable value?

Agenda:

Why most AI pilots fail (and the ones that don't)
How to scope a proof of concept, define success before you start, and prove commercial impact rather than a good demo.

Should you buy an AI tool or build your own?
What actually tips the balance either way, and what it costs to get it wrong.

Your new AI campaign analyst
A live demo of a tool that turns campaign data into insight, plus an honest account of what went wrong building it.

Automating the annoying parts of your job
Cross-platform reporting, data cleansing and competitive monitoring. What can realistically be handed over to AI tools.

Who this is for

AI in the Wild is for people in marketing and the commercial functions around it, the people expected to turn AI into revenue, efficiency or a better customer experience.
You will feel at home here if you work in:

  • Marketing (brand, demand generation, digital, content, campaigns)
  • CRM, lifecycle and customer marketing
  • Ecommerce and digital commerce
  • Sales and revenue operations
  • Customer experience and service
  • Data and analytics in a commercial context
  • Business owners and leaders responsible for growth

Who this isn't for
We are not an engineering or machine-learning meet-up. If you want to go deep on model architecture, engineering or building AI systems from the ground up, there are excellent London groups for that, and we would happily point you towards them.

Our focus is the commercial application layer: what to do with AI, not how to build it.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
