Everyone says they’re AI-native. But look closer: most companies are still AI-integrated — the same teams, the same org charts, with AI bolted onto a few existing workflows. The harder question is not whether you use AI, but what AI changes about the way you build a company. The same models are available globally, but founders in Singapore, China, the US, and beyond are building with different constraints: different customers, talent markets, distribution channels, and business ecosystems. A 12-person team selling across four markets. A founder running a company with AI agents instead of a large team. A startup replacing traditional software with AI-powered outcomes. AI doesn't only change what companies do, but also what companies are. No one has the perfect blueprint yet, but one thing's for sure: the most valuable lessons come from founders experimenting, rebuilding, and sometimes rolling back what didn’t work. So come on August 4. Spend an evening with 50 builders comparing what AI-native really means across markets — and leave with answers you couldn’t have found in case studies online. *Due to venue capacity, we're prioritizing guests who join as Founders or Builders. 🌟 ABOUT THE SIDE EVENT Side Events are companion sessions to AGI Playground 2026, open to registered attendees only.

What is the first function you've stopped hiring for, or would never hire for again? Where is AI already capable, but you still refuse to let it take the wheel? What should your company charge for?
