Building Smarter Learning Tools with AI: From Prototypes to Productivity - Zsolt Olah

Learning teams are under growing pressure to deliver solutions that are faster, more effective, and better aligned with real performance needs, but many still rely on static tools and slow development cycles to get there.

In this session, Zsolt Olah explores how affordable, accessible AI-powered development tools are changing what learning professionals can build for themselves. Drawing on practical experience, he examines how learning teams can use AI to prototype applications, extend existing tools, and bring ideas to life without becoming programmers or submitting IT requests.

Rather than focusing on hype or one-size-fits-all solutions, this session helps attendees understand how to choose the right AI tools for their goals, avoid common pitfalls, and build the skills needed to use them effectively.

Key Topics Include:

• How AI is lowering the barrier to application development for learning teams
• Matching AI development tools to different use cases (prototyping, UI/UX, automation)
• Strengths, limitations, and trade-offs of popular AI-powered tools
• Skills and mindsets learning professionals need to work productively with AI tools
• Common mistakes that slow progress or undermine results
