This hands-on workshop dives into Apple Foundation Models, moving past theory to build privacy-first AI features directly into native apps. We will focus on practical implementation: how to actually run these models, customize them for your specific domain, and empower them by providing external tools to enrich context and build truly smart, localized experiences. Requirements: MacBook, Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone, and basic Swift/Xcode skills. aiheroes-2026-904-edge-intelligence-building-with-apple-foundation-models-on-ios Tomas Parizek en false https://papers.synesthesia.it/aiheroes-2026/talk/L7VNK7/ Main Stage Workshop 2026-05-07T11:30:00+02:00 11:30 02:00 The usage of Artificial Intelligence in video game production has immediately sparked controversy linked to the notion of ‘AI sloppiness’ and the risk of undermining the entire creative process. The workshop, however, aims to demonstrate in practical terms how Artificial Intelligence can be used to streamline prototyping and the range of complex tasks involved in product development. Starting with the use of Claude Code and related tools, the workshop aims to give the audience a hands-on experience of the practical benefits of using AI in this field. aiheroes-2026-919-from-dream-to-reality-how-claude-code-supports-video-game-development Marco Mazzaglia en false https://papers.synesthesia.it/aiheroes-2026/talk/X7DJFN/ Main Stage Talk 2026-05-07T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 00:40 The zero to one phase of an AI startup is where most projects quietly fail. Not because the models are weak, but because the problem is wrong, the scope is off, the team is misbuilt, and execution drifts away from real customer value. This talk presents a practical zero to one playbook for developers and technical leaders who want to move from builder to founder in the AI era. It connects three elements that are usually treated separately: early product execution, early team design, and what investors actually fund at pre seed and seed stage. You will learn how to choose a problem customers will pay to solve, how to turn AI capabilities into a real product wedge instead of a demo, how to run tight design partner loops, how to structure a two to four person early team, which roles to delay, and which concrete signals make investors back early technical teams. The session also highlights common early stage failure patterns, including overengineering, premature scaling, and misaligned hires. aiheroes-2026-888-building-an-early-stage-startup-ai-that-actually-works-and-what-investors-fund Marcello Domenis en false https://papers.synesthesia.it/aiheroes-2026/talk/VWN8XC/
