Trevor demonstrated Serena, a custom AI persona functioning as a personal board of directors and executive assistant, built over more than a thousand hours of voice conversation and now deployed inside ten companies. Steve Langston made the case for AI literacy as the entry skill - smart prompting, context documents, and curiosity over speed - and argued that rural communities are structurally insulated from AI job displacement in ways urban centres are not. Chris Unrau, a self-described non-technical entrepreneur, built three custom apps using Base44 while watching hockey games, replacing a $10,000 custom app with a $40-a-month subscription, and along the way used AI to navigate personal relationship challenges his therapist later endorsed. The audience vote tied Trevor and Chris; judge Tracey Wiedmeyer (CEO, Gripp) gave the edge to Chris for demonstrating the widest surface area of any single operator in the room."}
