About the Decoding AI Initiative

Let’s shed a light on what makes Decoding AI such a game-changer for our organization.

Where It All Began

In response to the AI boom of 2023, our CTO Kamil Rzeźnicki conceived the idea for a series of internal meetings focused on the practical aspects of Artificial Intelligence. At hero/dot, we understand that AI is rapidly evolving and reshaping the technological and business landscape, and we want to be at the forefront of these changes. Thus, the Decoding AI initiative was born.

Created by Our People, for Our People

Our first Decoding AI workshop, led by Kamil in October 2023, marked the beginning of our monthly gatherings. Each session delved into a different practical application of AI in the workplace, from Business Analysis to Front-End Development and Content Writing. Big shout-out to our team members who shared their experiences with this transformative technology!

Building Knowledge Together

After each "Decoding AI" meeting, we compile all the resources, links, and recommendations discussed and make them readily available in our Knowledge Base. Additionally, we've established a dedicated Slack channel for AI enthusiasts to engage in discussions, share articles, and stay updated on AI-related news.

Sharing with Our Community

Our knowledge-sharing efforts extend beyond our internal meetings. We distill insights and practical tips from each workshop into helpful articles shared on our blog. Furthermore, we regularly release AI-related posts, infographics, and more on our social media platforms.

Introducing the Decoding AI Ebook

To celebrate the half-year anniversary of the initiative, we’re thrilled to release the official Decoding AI Ebook! Consider it your ultimate handbook for mastering AI in your daily work, taking you from beginner to pro. You can download it for free below this article.
