Workshop 4 (Hands-on) — The AI Productivity Paradox

Aster Wei — Founder & Managing Director, Otti NeuroLearning Institute | Founder, HumAIne Movement

You’ve invested in AI tools and your team uses them every day — but has productivity and quality really increased? Sometimes the work seems worse. That’s the AI productivity paradox. Grounded in neuroscience, this session explores how to drive AI adoption in a way that makes your people sharper, smarter and more innovative than ever.

Key takeaways

• Pinpoint the real reasons why 70% of AI transformations fail.
• Spot the warning signs your team is over-relying on AI, before it costs you productivity and money.
• Apply the Human-AI Synergy framework to evaluate your team’s readiness and gaps in effective AI adoption.

Workshop 5 (Hands-on) — Build Your Second Brain with Gemini & Google Docs

Michael Kwan — CEO, Pixl Digital | Founder, WebX

Wish you had an assistant that remembers everything you know and drafts your work the way you would write it? That’s a second brain — and in this session you’ll build your own using only free tools you already have: Google Gemini and Google Docs. Build a starter library of documents, structure it into a searchable Second Brain, then use it as a thinking partner and writing assistant.

Key takeaways

• Build a working Second Brain from scratch using only free tools — no coding, no subscriptions.
• Master the simple loop that grows it — let AI interview you, one topic at a time, into a searchable library.
• Put it to work the same day as a writing assistant that drafts in your voice and a thinking partner.

Note: bring a laptop with a Google account signed in. Everything used is free — nothing to buy or install. Attendees without a laptop can follow on mobile and expand on it later.
