"AI has the potential to change the very foundation of work at its core" - but where do we start? Despite major players investing billions in AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, Wade Foster notes that most people and businesses are still asking the same question: "Where the heck do I start?" With his unique perspective as CEO of Zapier, Wade perfectly captures where many business owners are right now - recognizing AI's transformative potential while still figuring out practical first steps. Our incredible speakers will be talking about AI and the future of work at this year's Main Street Summit, covering its wide-ranging applications to writing, marketing, manufacturing, software, the industrial labor force, and more! #AI #FutureOfWork #MainStreetSummit #Technology #ChatGPT #Claude #Gemini
