AI and the Future of Work

Sean Williams is the CEO and founder of AutogenAI, the world’s leading AI proposal-writing engine, launched in May 2022. Under his leadership, the company recently closed a nearly $40 million Series B round led by Salesforce Ventures.

 • How AutogenAI is reducing proposal writing time from days to hours for companies bidding on complex contracts
 • The ethical considerations of AI-written proposals and why transparency is critical in high-stakes industries
