A quarterly panel on AI in the real world
State ofAI.
The hype cycle moves faster than the work. State of AI is a live, no-slides conversation with the builders, operators, and leaders actually shipping AI: what changed this quarter, what broke, and what is finally working in production.

01How It Runs
A conversation, not a keynote.
02How it opens
One quarter, no slides.
The host frames what actually moved this quarter. The panel reacts in real time. No decks, no demos, no vendor pitch.
03What you bring
Your questions, live.
Half the session is open Q&A. Drop a question in the stream and the panel takes it on the spot.
04What you keep
A recording, every time.
Every session is recorded and posted to YouTube within days. Miss it live and you can still catch the whole conversation.
02The Host
We ship AI that survives the real world.
This Dot Labs is the engineering partner behind production AI inside some of the largest companies in the world. We do the unglamorous part: the integration, the eval harness, the rollout, the second Tuesday.
State of AI is the conversation we wish existed when the hype got loud. Every quarter we bring practitioners to the same table to compare notes in the open, then publish the whole thing so the rest of the field can learn from it too.
