🎙️ 🎉 I had the opportunity to speak at Google i/o Vancouver!
 🔥 My topic: Cracking the Code: Selling Your AI Startup's MVP Without Writing a Line of Code.
 During the event, I shared our journey of selling our very first A.I.-based SaaS product to the Central Bank of India - and the best part? We achieved this without writing a single line of code! 🚀
 Today, this same end product proudly serves over 100,000s of end-listeners monthly, generating thousands of audio narrations daily! 📈🎧 🌟 One of my favorite parts of the talk was reminiscing about Ad Auris' early days. Our first MVP was a true labor of love, as we did everything manually (Swipe to see the last picture). We recorded audio from the Google TTS demo on the demo site using an iPhone placed next to the laptop with a blanket to reduce echo sounds - taking inspiration from DJ’s/producers, who recorded music while on tour. 🎶 After recording, we meticulously edited and added musical scoring to each audio clip to create a personalized touch. We then packaged the audio and manually added it to a custom page for the audio player. When we presented the customized audio to the Central Bank of India, they absolutely loved it! 💖 Shoutout to my co-founders Logan Underwood & Tina Haertel who did the brunt of this work! 🙏🏽 Fast forward to today, our final audio product is produced at scale with the help of our AI-driven system, creating thousands of pieces of audio daily/weekly! At Ad Auris Engineering, we live by the motto: "Building the wrong thing perfectly is still wrong." While we value beautiful code and perfectly trained AI models, we understand that the real measure of success lies in solving real-world problems. Avoid wasting time and money by focusing on what matters,and by being mean and lean 💡💪.
