Mark your calendars for another great West Michigan AI Lab event on January 15th! We kick off the year with Drew Colthorp at Atomic Object. https://lnkd.in/gzTBdMFR Never Lose a Thought: Using AI to Keep Knowledge at Your Fingertips If you’re tired of digging through old notes, missing important details, or spending hours trying to get everyone on the same page, this talk is for you. We’ll look at how AI—particularly large language models and emerging approaches like OpenAI’s “o1” model—can capture, organize, and surface the knowledge you need, right when you need it. Learn how to automatically transcribe meetings so you can stay present, effortlessly summarize key insights, and build an evolving knowledge base that keeps everyone aligned. It’s about freeing yourself from information overload so you can focus on the creative, high-impact work that really matters. Drew Colthorp is a seasoned software development leader with nearly two decades of experience at Atomic Object, a consultancy that crafts innovative software products. As the Practice Lead of Development, Drew empowers Atomic's developers to deliver exceptional results for clients while fostering rewarding careers. His leadership philosophy centers on equipping people with the tools and skills to analyze, take ownership, and thrive in their roles. #AITechnology #TechTalks #Innovation #TheRightPlace

Wishing our Web Developer, Steven Schaner, the happiest of birthdays! 🎂🎉

This past weekend, the BizStream team gathered at the cozy Long Road Distillers for our annual Holiday Party. One of our favorite traditions is surprising Mark (founder) and Brian (co-owner) with a special holiday gift each year to show our appreciation for them. This year, we kept the tradition alive by gifting over $1,000 in Ruth’s Chris Steak House gift cards—hidden in layers of wrapped boxes! Watching them unwrap (and unwrap…and unwrap!) their boxes was a highlight of the night. Here’s to ending 2024 on a high note, and looking forward to an even brighter 2025! #LifeAtBizStream #HolidayParty
