Host Karissa Dunham sat down with Justin Grammens today to record a great episode of Shining Light on Minnesota all about real world AI and the power of applied AI when it’s put into action.

Justin runs Lab651 | Custom Software Development & Process a full service software and product development company that helps businesses build software, mobile apps, cloud systems, IoT products and more.

He’s also the founder of Recursive Awesome , a consulting firm that helps companies bring AI, automation and smart data driven tools into their operations.

Justin co founded Applied AI and through that group along with his teaching role at the University of St. Thomas , he’s helping people understand what AI can actually do and how to use it in practical ways.

In our conversation we dug into what applied AI really means. We talked about how Lab651 turns ideas into real software and products and how Recursive Awesome helps leaders bring AI into their businesses with purpose.

Such a smart and insightful conversation and I can’t wait for you all to hear it.
