Monkey First – Don’t Build the Pedestal before the Monkey Speaks

Submit your AI agent idea and win a “Monkey First” course

We invite companies to submit their ideas to AI agents through the new initiative “Monkey First”. All submissions will be anonymized and compiled into an idea catalog, which will be sent to all contributors, giving them the opportunity to be inspired by the ideas of others.

One lucky winner will be selected for a free clarification session where the AI agent idea is assessed from aspects such as technical framework, data basis, compliance, technology and potential risks. The program is facilitated in collaboration with Syv.ai and Conscensia.

If you don’t win, you still have the opportunity to purchase a Monkey First course at a favorable conference price.

The initiative is based on the “Monkey First” philosophy – starting with the most difficult and risky element of the project first. If you want to teach a monkey to speak from a pedestal, don’t start by building the pedestal. Instead, start by finding out if you can teach the monkey to speak. Can the idea actually work in practice so you don’t spend unnecessary time and money?
