Abstract
Most SMBs do not need “AI theater.” They need tools that connect to their actual systems, understand their workflows, and help people make better decisions faster. In “Building an SMB Focused App,” Brian Scheewe will show how small and midsized businesses can move from experimenting with AI to building practical applications that connect data, systems, and reasoning. The session will explore how APIs can link business platforms together, how LLMs can be used as cooperating agents, and how multiple models — including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — can evaluate the same prompt, challenge one another’s answers, and collaborate toward a stronger final result. Attendees will get a practical look at what it takes to design these workflows responsibly: connecting systems, structuring prompts, comparing model outputs, applying human oversight, and building guardrails around accuracy, security, and business context. The result is a realistic blueprint for SMB-focused AI applications that are useful, maintainable, and built around real business work.
