Mission brief

Implementing AI Solutions in Layman’s Terms

A working session on what AI actually does inside a business — the revenue, the hours, the costs. Live demos, no slideware.

Hosted by Ben Hakimi · InfoNetworks

Live demo — AI in real estate

A working AI workflow on listing, client, and transaction data. See what runs ↓

PNL 01 Live demo
Real estate · unscripted

We build an AI workflow live, on real real-estate data.

Most AI talks show you a finished screenshot. This one shows the work: three ordinary data sources going in, an AI workflow assembled in front of you, and usable output coming out the other side — including the parts that need a human to check them.

01

Listing data

Property details in, marketing copy out — then the edit pass, so you can see exactly where the AI is strong and where it needs a person.

02

Client data

An inbound enquiry arrives. Watch it get read, qualified, answered, and routed to the right person — with the reasoning visible instead of hidden.

03

Transaction data

Dates, documents, and who-owes-what pulled into one status you can actually read — the paperwork chase that eats a week per deal.

04

The honest part

Where it got things wrong, what it cost to run, and what it would take to put something like this into your business next quarter.

Nothing ships without a human in the loop

PNL 02 Objectives
Four ways this pays for itself

What it is actually for

Every AI project should be answerable to one of these four. If it is not, it is a hobby. We will be blunt about which ones are realistic in the next ninety days and which ones are a year out.

Objective 01

Make more money

Earn more from the work your team already does — faster responses, more quotes out the door, fewer leads going cold.

Objective 02

Run more efficiently

Automate the tasks your staff repeats every day — the retyping, the chasing, the copying between systems.

Objective 03

Reduce costs

Take cost out of operations, not capability. Where the savings are real, and where a vendor is quietly moving the cost somewhere else.

Objective 04

Satisfy customers

Faster, more accurate answers on every request — and the guardrails that stop a confident wrong answer reaching a client.

Run of show

How the session runs

In order, because the order matters — the demo only lands once the vocabulary is out of the way.

01

Clearing the jargon

Model, prompt, agent, hallucination — the handful of terms in every vendor pitch, one sentence each, so the rest of the hour makes sense.

Confirmed
02

What it is good at, and what it is bad at

The tasks where it reliably beats a person, the tasks where it confidently gets things wrong, and why telling them apart is most of the skill.

Confirmed
03

Live demo — AI in real estate

The centrepiece. A working workflow built on screen against listing, client, and transaction data, with the failures left in.

Live
04

Your data, your security, your liability

Where your information actually goes, what the contract should say, and what changes if you are under HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2.

Confirmed
05

Starting small without wasting money

Picking one use case, sizing the pilot, deciding up front what success looks like, and how to stop cleanly if it does not work.

Confirmed
06

Open Q&A

Bring the question you have been slightly embarrassed to ask. Those are usually the best ones, and this is the room for them.

Confirmed

Timings and the final speaker lineup are still being locked. This page is updated as each piece is confirmed — the status chips above are kept honest.

PNL 04 Manifest
Who should be in the room

Built for the decision-maker, not the data scientist

If you run a business, or a department inside one, and the AI conversation keeps arriving as either hype or homework — this hour is for you.

Cleared for launch

  • Owners, founders, and executives at companies of roughly 10 to 250 people
  • Real-estate brokers, teams, and property managers — the demo is your workflow
  • Operations, finance, HR, and office managers looking at where the hours actually go
  • The person who became the de facto IT decision-maker without asking to be
  • Teams in regulated work — healthcare, legal, finance, insurance — who need the compliance answer first

Probably not for you

  • ML engineers and data scientists — you already know this material
  • Anyone looking for model benchmarks, architecture deep-dives, or code
  • Founders wanting to pitch an AI product rather than talk about using one

Who is running this

Hosted by Ben Hakimi at InfoNetworks

Not a vendor demo reel. The people who get called when a tool nobody vetted starts handling customer data.

The host

InfoNetworks

A managed IT and technology services provider based in Tarzana, California. We give small and mid-sized businesses a fully staffed 24/7 IT department — support and network security, internet, phone systems, servers, and the AI that connects them — under one provider and one flat monthly rate.

Which is why we can talk about this without hype. More about what we do →

The context

LA Tech Week 2026

A week of events across Los Angeles hosted by founders, funds, and companies to bring the local tech ecosystem together. This session is on the official 2026 calendar.

Common questions

Q

What exactly is the live demo?

A working AI workflow running on real-estate listing, client, and transaction data — on screen, live, not a recording. Real estate because the work is recognizable: listings to write, clients to answer, transactions to keep straight. The same shapes show up in most businesses.

Q

Do I need to be in real estate to get value from this?

No. Real estate is the worked example, not the subject. The session is about how to judge, scope, and cost an AI workflow in any business — the demo just gives everyone a concrete thing to point at instead of talking in abstractions.

Q

Do I need a technical background to attend?

No — that is the entire point. If you can describe how your business runs, you have enough background. We do not assume you know what a model, a token, or a prompt is, and every term we use gets explained as we go.

Q

How much does it cost?

Nothing. It is free, hosted by InfoNetworks as part of LA Tech Week 2026. RSVP is required because seats are limited — kept small deliberately, so the Q&A is a conversation rather than a broadcast.

Q

Where is it held?

In Los Angeles. The exact location goes to confirmed guests through the RSVP page — standard practice for LA Tech Week events.

Q

Can I bring my team?

Please do. Have each person RSVP individually so they each get their own confirmation and the location details. Seats are limited, so sooner is better than later.

Q

Is this a sales pitch in disguise?

No. A fair amount of it is about when not to buy AI. We would rather be the people who told you the truth about it than the people who sold you a pilot you did not need.
