AI Labs — The Exponential Conference Plug-In
A CERTIFIED SCI-FI CLASSROOMS SESSION

AI Labs is a 2-hour plug-in activity that runs inside any conference day. It takes the day's own speaker content, layers in guided AI consultations across Study, Explore, and Ideate, and turns it into a real 15-slide team solution deck by the time the room clears — 10 slides explaining the solution, 5 personal testimonial stories from your own team.

AI Labs Kickoff
// KICKOFF + PURPOSE PROMPT //

Your table aligns on one shared Purpose Prompt for the next two hours — your organisation, the specific problem you're solving today, and who the solution serves. Click below to copy the Kickoff Prompt and paste it into your chosen LLM; it will walk your table through building that Purpose Prompt in three quick questions.

Codex Hub — Read the City
0:30 – 0:40 • 10 MIN
SOLO ACTIVITY

This stop works differently from the others. There's no story to read — the information is inside the image itself. Every shopfront in the scene below belongs to a business working at the edge of something: quantum computing, bio-AI, prompt engineering, agentic systems, edge robotics. You're going to hand this picture to an AI and have it read the city for you.

01Open the image below at full size, or use the download button.
02Attach that image to your chosen LLM.
03Copy the Codex Hub prompt and paste it into the same chat.
04It will read the signboards back to you, then ask for your Purpose Prompt — and connect those fields to your own challenge.

On a phone: use DOWNLOAD FULL IMAGE rather than a screenshot — a screenshot only captures your screen's width, and the smaller shop signs won't read clearly enough for the AI to OCR.

0:50 – 0:55 • 5 MIN
SOLO → TEAM
Prototype Hub
// PROTOTYPE HUB //

Your captain pastes everyone's Speaker Sync, Study, Explore, Codex Hub, and Ideate observations into one prompt, along with your shared Purpose Prompt. The AI merges all of it into a single ~500-word prototype write-up — your team's first complete solution draft, carried straight into the Agentic Hub next.

// PROMPT COPIED — PASTE INTO YOUR LLM //
Agentic Hub
0:55 – 1:00 • 5 MIN
TEAM ACTIVITY
Agentic Hub
// AGENTIC HUB //

Paste your ~500-word prototype write-up into the Agentic Hub prompt. Six AI specialists — Strategic Context, Solution Architecture, Value & Impact, Deployment & Operations, Human Adoption, and Risk & Resilience — debate and stress-test it as a team, producing a stronger, more complete ~700-word write-up.

Use the last minute of this stop to read the result back as a team and lock it in — this is the version that goes into the Presentation Hub next.

// PROMPT COPIED — PASTE INTO YOUR LLM //

// Hour 1 Complete //

Your team has a locked ~700-word solution write-up. Hour 2 turns it into a 15-slide deck with visuals and testimonial stories.

TEAM — 2 PROMPTS, SAME CHAT, NO HARD RESET
Presentation Hub
// PRESENTATION HUB //

Prompt 1 takes your ~700-word write-up and generates the full 10-slide deck: 7 text slides plus 3 landscape visual slides (the cover, and two concept-visual slides), each visual slide including its own text-to-image AI prompt. Prompt 2 — pasted into the same chat, no hard reset — generates 5 testimonial microfiction stories, one per teammate, tied to your solution.

1:20 – 1:40 • 20 MIN
SOLO — EACH TEAMMATE, IN PARALLEL
Theater Hub
// THEATER HUB //

This runs in four quick steps. Have your team's ~700-word write-up handy — the AI asks for it first, so it actually understands what your team built before directing anything. Then it guides your selfie, takes your assigned testimonial story, and hands you the exact image prompt to bring it to life.

// Image tools that accept a reference photo //
• Meta AI
• Google AI Studio
• Google AI Mode
• Adobe Firefly

Any of the four work — pick whichever you already have open, attach your selfie as the reference image, then paste the prompt the AI gives you.

// FINAL COLLABORATION ZONE //

Bring everything together manually: the 10-slide deck (7 text + 3 landscape visuals) plus everyone's finished portrait testimonial visual and story — that's your final 15-slide deck. Make any last corrections as a team, then post it to the Solution Hub channel in Discord.

Two hours, one team — from Purpose Prompt to a 15-slide deployed solution deck.

Post your final deck to the Solution Hub channel of your Discord server.
