Webinar: 18th August | 14:00 BST

Build vs buy: the AI decision every leader is making right now.

For leaders bringing AI to their team and its workflows: operations, sales, marketing, finance, HR and beyond. If you're the one leading the way in your discipline, this hour is for you. Join &above live on 18 August. We'll cover how to bring AI to your team's workflows in-house, do it well, and skip the burden: evals, maturity levels and real build examples.

Almost every team has moved past experimentation. People are building their own prompts, workflows and agents, and getting real value from them. But step back and the picture is different: the same task automated five times in five different chat windows, knowledge scattered across hubs and channels, no way to verify which version is correct, and duplicated spend on both human hours and tokens.

So the question lands on your desk: build vs buy? We'll show you it's not that binary.

Jordan Richards

Jordan

CEO & Co-Founder

Jordan works with leadership teams on exactly the decision this webinar covers: how AI gets built in their business. He helps organisations turn fragmented, individual AI use into workflows and systems the company owns.

Josh King

Josh

CTO & Co-Founder

Josh leads the engineering behind &above's AI products and agentic systems. His team built the eval-first compliance system that took Tesco's creative approvals from four weeks to days, and the agentic sales system used daily by 5,000 Google Cloud sellers.

What we'll cover

During this 60 minute live executive discussion and Q&A, we'll explore:

  • Why the instinct to build in-house is right, and why DIY builds stall half-finished.
  • The four-level AI maturity model, and where your organisation actually sits on it.
  • Why individual AI wins don't add up to a company system, and what that costs in duplicated hours and token spend.
  • What separates a prototype from a production system: evals, confidence scores and continuous optimisation, explained properly.
  • Inside real builds: Tesco's creative compliance, Google Cloud's agentic sales system and Sage's creative intelligence agent.
  • The third option most leaders haven't priced: build in-house without the in-house burden.
  • How to decide, workflow by workflow, whether to build, buy or embed.

We'll finish with a live Q&A, so bring the build vs buy decision you're actually wrestling with. Every attendee will also get free access to our AI Workflow Readiness Score, and where it's the right fit, an invitation to a Workflow Mapping Session: we sit with you, map five workflows in your business, and give you an honest build, buy or embed verdict on each.
