An awareness session for founders, CTOs and ops leaders of SMEs evaluating AI tools. We map the landscape (foundation models, copilots, vertical SaaS, no-code), give a vendor-evaluation scorecard, and review pricing traps (per-seat, token-based, enterprise tiers). Participants leave with a shortlist of 3-5 tools that fit their stack and budget. Includes a section on contracts, data residency and exit clauses.
