Why We're Bringing Main Street and AI Experts Together in Utah

Why We're Bringing Main Street and AI Experts Together in Utah

November 2025 | SeedAI Team

The gap between AI's promise and its practical application feels enormous, especially if you're running a business without a dedicated tech team, unlimited budget, or time to sort through the hype. Meanwhile, the tools are advancing faster than most people can keep up with, and the pressure to adopt feels urgent, even if the path forward doesn't feel clear.

This is exactly the problem we exist to solve.

Meeting Businesses Where They Are

On December 1st, SeedAI and the State of Utah’s Office of AI Policy (the first in the nation!) are co-hosting a workshop designed specifically for small businesses eager to embrace AI adoption.

We're calling it Business Builders & AI: Practical Help to Integrate and Leverage AI in Your Business. And the format reflects how we think this work should actually happen: direct, tailored, and hands-on.

Attendees will work directly with other Utah businesses, AI service providers, local support teams, and technical partners to identify how to reliably leverage AI in their operations. No issue is too big or too small, whether you're looking to boost day-to-day efficiency or solve a persistent challenge that's been slowing you down. That could mean process automation, supply chain optimization, data analysis, cybersecurity, or anything in between.

Five Businesses, Five Live Sessions

Beyond the general workshop format, we're selecting five Utah businesses to participate in live, on-stage sessions where experts will dive deep into their specific challenges and workshop solutions in real time.

This isn't a demo. It's not a sales pitch. It's problem-solving in public, so that every attendee can learn from the process, see what good AI adoption looks like, and understand how to apply similar thinking to their own operations.

If your business is wrestling with a specific challenge and you'd like to be considered for one of these spotlight sessions, you can indicate that during registration. We'll select a diverse range of businesses and use cases to ensure the day provides maximum value to everyone in the room.

Why This Matters

At SeedAI, we sit at the intersection of AI policy and practical application. Our work is about helping American innovators and policymakers explore opportunities, experiment in practice, examine what works, and expand what's proven.

This workshop is a direct expression of that mission. Utah has become a national leader in thinking about how states can support responsible AI adoption and this event is about translating that leadership into tangible outcomes for the businesses that need it most.

Small businesses are the backbone of local economies. They employ nearly half of all American workers. And right now, they're navigating one of the most significant technology shifts in a generation, often without the resources, expertise, or guidance that larger companies have in abundance.

If we get AI adoption right at this level, we unlock unprecedented growth and opportunity. If we get it wrong, we risk leaving thousands of businesses at a permanent competitive disadvantage.

We're here to help get it right.
