General-purpose AI tools can be impressive in demos, but real business workflows are a different story. Once you add industry rules, live data, customer expectations, and revenue pressure, generic AI often starts to break.
In this Toronto Tech Week session, Bryan Xu, Co-founder of DealerAI, will share what it takes to make AI work in high-stakes operating environments. Using automotive retail as a case study, this session will explore why specialized AI systems often outperform broad tools when speed, context, and execution matter.
This is a practical session for business leaders who want to understand where AI creates real operational value, where it falls short, and what it takes to apply AI effectively in customer-facing workflows.
