May 2026 AI Dinner - Product in the Age of AI: When Everyone Can Build
Executive Overview
The May 2026 AI Dinner explores what happens when AI gives almost anyone the power to build products, brands, and software faster than ever before. Gerard Fogarty will share insights from the front lines of AI research and implementation, Mollie Little will discuss why strong branding matters even more in an AI-driven world, and Dave Killeen will explore how AI is reshaping SaaS and product development, where speed, adaptability, and customer insight are becoming the real competitive advantage.
Gerard Fogarty
Gerards Corner (AI Q&A)
Gerard Fogarty, CEO of PrecisionAI - His background runs from computer science to digital transformation and since the very early days of language models themselves, into AI including implementation, building language models from scratch to on-going mechanistic interpretability research. Every Wednesday on LinkedIn, Gerard opens his DM’s and comments to anybody with a question about AI - from boardroom strategy and implementation, to the philosophical, to what’s actually happening inside a model. No bots. No automations. Just Gerard, taking the time to answer properly, and hopping on a call when needed. The series exists to lift the curtain on AI and lower the barrier to entry. If a conversation provides value, askers are invited to donate to Parkinson’s UK with whatever they can spare.
Mollie Little
The Importance of Brand
Mollie Little is a freelance marketer and brand builder with seven years of experience across social media, content, e-commerce, and marketing operations. Through her consultancy Moll Doll Media, she works with startups and founder led businesses to build brands from the ground up, combining strategic thinking with hands on execution. At this dinner, Mollie will be talking about the importance of brand as a foundation for everything else, and showing how she used AI tools to rebrand the AI Dinner Club itself. Expect a practical, honest look at why most businesses skip the brand step, and what happens when you don't.
Dave Killeen
Malleable Software: When Everyone Can Build, What Makes a Great Product?
AI is collapsing the cost of building software, and that changes the game for every SaaS leader in the room. In this energetic, practical keynote, Dave Killeen, Field Chief Product Officer at Pendo, shares what he learned building Dex, his open-source personal AI operating system that attracted attention from one of the world's leading tech companies within weeks, and argues that when anyone can generate code, clone patterns, and spin up products at extraordinary speed, “good taste” is no longer enough. Through live examples, Irish humour, and a clear operating playbook, Dave will show how the new advantage is the speed at which organisations can out-hunt the market, bend the system of work, and prove with customer evidence what truly deserves to be built.
