Future-Proofing WordPress Agencies and E-Commerce: AI and Private Cloud Revolution
LIVESTREAM on LinkedIn
Thursday, December 12, 2024 – 12 PM EDT
In this live discussion, the founders of Convesio and OpenMetal will explore how AI and private cloud solutions are reshaping the landscape for WordPress agencies, e-commerce, and small businesses. With rapid advances in AI, including autonomous agents and larger context windows, agencies and small businesses are beginning to see the potential in using their own large language models (LLMs) for tailored customer insights and operational efficiency.
This discussion will touch on the evolving trends in cloud computing, including the limitations of hyper-scalers in offering tailored solutions with data control, and why private cloud solutions offer a better path forward.
As technology advances, the need for secure, proprietary environments to process both private and public data will become essential, allowing businesses to control customer insights and differentiate themselves. Attendees will gain insight into how private cloud can meet these needs by offering a secure, cost-effective alternative that balances innovation with privacy and autonomy.
Tom and Todd will also discuss some of the challenges posed by AI-driven marketing, the changing nature of written content, and the significance of maintaining founder-led brands that foster community trust and engagement.
