Beyond the Chatbot is a practical business briefing about moving AI from novelty to useful, secure operations. Drawing on a real production deployment inside Confirmed Life Safety, Jonathan Swindle demonstrates how AI can read documents, extract and organize critical information, and power repeatable workflows; while people retain approval, judgment, and accountability.
Attendees will learn how today’s AI tools actually work, why they sometimes produce unreliable answers, and how to choose among subscriptions, built-in AI features, custom integrations, and private local models. The session also covers data protection, vendor evaluation, human review, and responsible deployment.
Designed for business owners, managers, financial institutions, public-sector teams, and other operators, the presentation provides a framework for identifying a valuable first AI project and a practical 90-day path from experimentation to a measured pilot. This is not a prompt-tricks seminar or a futurist sales pitch, it is a grounded look at where AI can save time, strengthen oversight, and improve real workflows.
