From Chatbot to Coworker: 4 Years of AI in 60 Minutes

What changed, what's noise, and how to hire your first AI employee safely. 60 minutes with Mamoun Alamouri. What actually changed in AI in the four years since ChatGPT launched, why the model is the cheapest part of the system, an AI employee working on screen, and the safe order to hire AI into your business.

What you'll leave with

Three things, in 60 minutes.

The stack, demystified.

Models, harnesses and agents in plain English. Why Claude, GPT, Gemini and open-weight models now sit close, and where the real edge moved.

An employee at work.

Not a demo deck. A working AI employee hired, briefed and checked on screen, with its scorecard.

Your harness map.

A one-page map of your own work: what a chat can do today, and what needs a brain, skills, tools and limits before AI touches it.

Who it's for

Built for people who already use AI.

For you
  • Founders and operators who use Claude or ChatGPT every day and feel the ceiling.
  • Team leads who want AI in the team without losing control of the output.
  • Leaders building an AI plan who need a safe order, not another vendor demo.
Not for you
  • Not for you if you want a list of prompts.
The five levels

The command stays short. The job behind it gets bigger.

L5A departmentit runs, you decide

In the session we place you on the ladder and show what moves you one level.

Hire AI safely

Replacing an employee is the last thought in the room.

Seven better places to hire AI first: the wish list, the dread list, the mechanical work, the assistant, the operating system, the consultant, the advisor. And four questions before any AI acts alone: Is it reversible? Can it be checked? Is it bounded? Who signs?

For teams
