/ About this event

The best teammate you ever had made everything easier. This one does too, and it also does the work.

Your Favorite AI Teammate Starts Tonight is a hands-on building session during #SFTechWeek where you spend one evening setting up a working AI teammate for your daily work. Not a demo.

No onboarding. No ramp-up. No getting up to speed. Day one is the night you show up. There’s no deck and no theory walkthrough: hand your teammate real work, and watch it get done before the night ends. You will leave with it working, plus a starter kit of workflows to keep building from there.

What You Could Build (and more) → Close the books and flag discrepancies → Automate expense reporting → Generate a pre-call brief and auto-log post-call notes to your CRM → Turn scattered inputs into a one-page brief and filed action items → Automate a purchase-order workflow across legacy systems

Who This Is For This is for professionals or anyone doing the operations work of running a business. If you spend your day bouncing between email, spreadsheets, a CRM, or even legacy tools just to keep things running, you’re in the right place.

→ Founders and solopreneurs: a thought partner that reaches your tools. Scattered inputs into briefs, meeting notes into action items, five tabs into one conversation. → Finance and accounting: connect your accounting, expense, and payment platforms in one place to reconcile books, flag discrepancies, and build reports across systems, not across exports. → Sales and marketing ops: the full call loop. Pre-call briefs, post-call notes, and CRM records linked by company domain, no manual data entry. → HR and people ops: approval routing and document handoffs that cross system boundaries, without the endless follow-up chain. → Ops managers: the glue between disconnected systems. Connect legacy tools and automate the handoffs that break when a human is the only bridge.

What is Lava? An AI teammate that works across all the apps you use. → It works autonomously without you needing to be in the loop. No new app to learn. No engineering team required. → One agent, every app you're already in. Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks, and more. All from one conversation. → It works while you sleep. Set routines that work whether your laptop is open or not. Your teammate keeps moving the work forward. → Talk to it like a teammate. Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage. It shows up as a regular contact, not another app to learn.

What Is Included → A starter kit of ready-to-use workflows to build on → Live guidance from the Lava team → Food, drinks, and networking with fellow operations builders

What to Bring → A laptop and charger. → A to-do list of repetitive tasks you want to automate. This is what you'll build your agent around.
