Dallas Innovates’ second class of AI 75 honorees included 7T President and COO, Shane Long. This recognition comes during last week’s Convergence AI Conference in Irving and a time when the Dallas-Fort Worth area is booming with AI innovation in its universities, startups, and resident Fortune 500 companies.
Long led 7T’s first AI project seven years ago and has continued to push the boundaries of AI and its ROI for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. Under his leadership, 7T has recently launched three new programs to help small and medium-sized businesses realize how AI can best serve them:
- 7T’s AI Transformation Studio: a free, 90-minute AI consultation during which 7T’s AI experts will help identify AI opportunities within your business
- 7T’s AI Genie: an AI tool that analyzes your business and process documents to identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks and recommends the highest-impact AI opportunities
- 7T’s LaunchPad Program: a 4-to-8 week program that provides an expert digital transformation strategy alongside rapid AI prototyping
“I’m incredibly honored to be included on the AI 75 list, recognizing leaders in artificial intelligence across North Texas— alongside so many inspiring innovators, researchers, and changemakers. This recognition is truly a reflection of the amazing team we’ve built at 7T.ai. Their creativity, dedication, and relentless focus on delivering real-world results through AI make this journey both exciting and impactful,” Long said.
