On May 27th, AIKIT Digital hosted an invitation-only event in Prague’s WorkLounge Karlín. The space filled with C-level executives, founders, and innovation leaders—gathered not to debate AI hype, but to discuss how it can deliver real business impact.
Instead of buzzwords and visionary abstractions, the evening focused on outcomes, experimentation, and tested experience.
Why Do We Do This?
Moderator: Matěj Misař
Opening keynote: Carebot
The event began with a reflection from moderator Matěj Misař, followed by a powerful story from healthcare startup Carebot. Their analogy compared AI innovation to the endless curiosity of a two-year-old—constantly asking “why” and “how.”
Carebot’s real-world success speaks for itself: AI that helps radiologists evaluate over 2 million X-rays annually across 64% of Czech hospitals.
“Two million scans a year, used in 64% of Czech hospitals. AI isn’t hype. It’s already saving time—and lives.”
Roman Staněk – CEO, GoodData
Start with the why, not the how.
“Many companies begin by asking what can be done with AI. But the first question should be: why?”
Roman opened the speaker lineup with a clear message: align AI strategy with business goals. He emphasized that GoodData doesn’t chase use cases—it builds for decisions that actually matter. Real-time analytics, deeply integrated into operations, make impact visible at every level.
Radek Novotný – CEO, Superface
You don’t need perfect AI. You need useful AI.
“An agent isn’t something that starts at 100%. But even if we begin at 40%, it’s the right direction. Without mistakes and feedback, there’s no learning.”
Radek’s keynote focused on autonomous agents and building AI that executes across connected systems. He argued for faster iteration, lower fear of failure, and building tools that actually move the needle.
Later, he stressed where real innovation is happening:
“The biggest companies aren’t focusing on models. They’re solving orchestration—figuring out how to connect all the moving parts and make them work.”
Lukáš Pitter – Founder, 2Fresh
AI isn’t just technical. It’s emotional.
“AI isn’t just about output. It’s about what people believe it can do—and what they’re willing to trust it with.”
Lukáš spoke from the intersection of AI product design in Silicon Valley and brand strategy in Europe. He explained that designers shape AI adoption by how they guide user interaction, trust, and transparency. Trust, not tech specs, is often the missing link in adoption.
Vojta Jína – ex-Google, ex-Apple
AI-first means thinking differently—not replacing people.
“An AI-first culture doesn’t mean AI does everything. It means that before I ask for another person, I ask whether it could be done smarter.”
Joining live from the U.S., Vojta emphasized that AI culture begins with questions, not systems. From grassroots experimentation to giving middle managers ownership, he shared how to embed AI into business thinking—without losing the human core.
Audience Pulse
Live polls during the evening showed that most attendees are still in the early stages of AI implementation. Yet three trends stood out:
-
The hunger for measurable KPIs and real ROI.
-
The need for better orchestration—connecting tools, data, and workflows.
-
A growing consensus: AI is here, but success demands more than tech. It requires leadership.
This wasn’t just an event. It was a shift in tone—a space where hype was replaced with hard-won lessons, and buzzwords gave way to business realities.
