Session Themes

The session covered the following themes.

Q1. How are you using AI and Stripe inside your product?
Q2. What are you doing on the cost side when using AI?
Q3. What are you thinking about when it comes to pricing?
Q4. In the AI era, what do you think really matters in product development to actually generate revenue?

The archive video will be uploaded to YouTube at a later date, so I’ll leave the specifics of what was discussed to that.

After-party

After the session, in addition to the official after-party organized by the event, informal 2nd and 3rd after-parties (nijikai and sanjikai) gave us plenty of time to talk with attendees. Hidetaka shared the moment on X. Thank you.
