Beyond Prompts: Put AI to Work in Economic Development
Artificial intelligence is an increasingly essential tool for economic development professionals, but most organizations only scratch the surface of how AI can help them manage data, streamline RFI response, enrich property information, and improve workflows.

Join Golden Shovel Agency and Dane Carlson, founder of Sitehunt and host of the Econ Dev Show, for a practical discussion of how economic development organizations can go beyond writing and research and turn AI into a tool for analyzing data, completing workflows, and doing work that once required specialized software. In this session, we’ll:
- Examine what AI can already do for economic development teams
- Explore which parts of the work are most ready for automation
- Discuss why local knowledge, trusted data, relationships, and judgment become even more important
- Explain how EDOs can prepare workflows for increasingly capable AI
- Identify practical ways to use AI without losing sight of the human side of economic development
This session will help economic developers understand what is changing now, what is likely to change next, and how to position their organizations accordingly.
Who is this for:
This session is perfect for economic development professionals and EDO that want to go beyond the basics of AI to enhance their workflows and understand what’s on the horizon.
