Autonomous Dev Stacks, AI-powered Marketing & Cybersecurity For Founders | Startup Orillia 10/27

At our latest Startup Orillia meetup, members shared practical tools, workflows, and lessons learned from using AI to build software, manage projects, automate business processes, and improve cybersecurity. Presentations include: Building a Personal AI Assistant — Dave presents Otto, a custom AI assistant built with the open-source Pi framework. Running on a home computer and accessible by phone, Otto coordinates multiple AI agents, manages projects, tracks tasks, and works across different AI models. AI-Powered Marketing & Development — Teryl walks us through how to use Claude to organize client assets, brand guidelines, and workflows, then rapidly build and deploy websites, marketing materials, and applications using Cloudflare. An AI-Native App Development Stack — John walks through his six-tool workflow combining ChatGPT, Claude, Linear, Coder, Doppler, and GitHub/Codex to take software projects from requirements to reviewed code. Cybersecurity for Founders — Nishanth and Stephen give an overview of emerging security threats, recent vulnerabilities, and practical steps startups can take to protect their applications, infrastructure, and customers.
