AI4DEV · AI for software development
Everyone saw the same AI demo. But how many divergent plans walked out of the room?

A fast prototype can leave developers, product colleagues, managers, and executives with different pictures of what comes next. AI4DEV brings them into one live conversation about what AI makes possible—and what the work still asks of them.
A shared artifact is not yet a shared understanding
The prototype has a screen, a workflow, perhaps even working code. One person sees a path to the release. Another sees a missing customer case. A third is wondering who will maintain it. What could the people in that room learn from the differences before the prototype becomes a plan? AI4DEV is built for that moment, when new capability is visible and the people who must turn it into useful work are still drawing different conclusions.
It is also built for those who have not seen a demo yet. Teams are forming AI habits, expectations, and anxieties now. A professional may need to learn what assistance can add to their craft. A manager may need a way to bring early adopters and skeptics into the same exploration. A leader may need to understand what a faster prototype does, and does not, say about the organization's capacity to deliver. The seminar gives these people a shared foundation before any one prototype becomes the entire story.
Bring yourself or the colleagues who must make the next step together. $250 per person.
Choose your AI4DEV seatsThe wider measure of intelligence
An AI system can produce an answer in seconds. What matters next is what a person can understand, make, question, or improve with it. A developer can see more of an inherited system. A tester can try another edge case. A designer can compare alternatives. A product colleague can ask what a prototype means for a customer. A manager can see where excitement and resistance each hold useful information.
That is human augmentation in an actual development organization: more reach for each person and better connections among specialties. Speed belongs in the story. So do judgment, learning, integration, and the confidence to say what is still unknown. AI4DEV examines both the extra capacity and the work needed to turn it into a result people can stand behind.

When the work is bigger than software alone
AI4DEV's core is using AI for software development: comprehension, requirements, architecture, prototypes, code, tests, interfaces, documentation, integration, and release. Its examples also reach teams whose software becomes part of hardware, media, financial operations, telecom networks, logistics, or internal enterprise systems. The room is relevant to people who write code and to people who fund, manage, review, sell, support, or depend on what the code becomes.
Howard has worked at those crossings for 51 paid years and more than 200 engagements, chiefly through his own companies. NASA, Apple, Disney, Xerox, HP, Kodak, CBS, Fujitsu, CSC, Capital One, Symantec, and the Financial Times appear among his development and consulting clients. He has also been paid to present to professionals from IBM, AT&T, Sun Microsystems, Intel, BT, T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom, Nokia, NASA Ames, Xerox PARC, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays. GM and Ford needed complex factory designs made visible so their executives could approve; Howard built the animated virtual reality web signoff system. At Telos Alliance, his custom AI-for-product-development seminar drew 47 when about 20 were expected, across technical, product, management, executive, and skeptical roles.

Bring the room, not just the question
The seminar is live online with Howard on Thursday, December 17, 2026, 2–4 p.m. Mountain Time. Tickets are $250 per person. One seat can deepen an individual's practice. Several can give a team a shared starting point before the next demo, planning session, or technical handoff.
