Connect with other artists, creatives, technologists, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of art, tech, and AI. October's Topic: Productizing Your Passion (Creating Scalable Assets with AI) Trading time for money limits growth. This session explores how we can use AI to create scalable products. Together, we will think through how we might translate our unique style or knowledge into products like fonts, design kits, plugins, templates, courses, e-books, or any other ideas for scalable assets. We'll reserve plenty of time for open discussion and brainstorming on how you might apply these insights to your craft and business: What repeatable element of your creative process could be packaged and sold to other creators or hobbyists? How could AI speed up the tedious parts of product development? How do we ensure our productized assets still carry our unique brand identity? (Or does this need to be a concern?) What to Expect:  We'll bring ice breakers and discussion prompts to get the conversation flowing. You bring your thoughts, experiences, and viewpoints. ACE meetups are a warm, collegial, and inviting space. All backgrounds, disciplines, and levels of experience will be respected and given space to express their perspectives, opinions, and concerns about the current state and future of the arts, AI, and technology.
