Overview
This free, one-hour session during LA Tech Week takes a practical look at how AI agents may help companies identify and reduce repetitive operational work. It is designed for owners and operators of companies with 10 to 100 people, rather than solo founders or startups that do not yet have a team handling recurring administrative tasks.
The event starts from a question: where does payroll actually go? In companies of this size, employees may spend time copying information between tools, following up on outstanding items, or recreating regular reports. The event describes these recurring activities as work that can add up to a significant cost across a team, potentially reaching six figures annually. Attendees will consider how to identify such tasks in their own organizations and assess the associated payroll costs.
Topics and takeaways
The session will cover which operational tasks AI agents can handle reliably today and which still require human involvement. It will also discuss how to calculate the payroll impact of repetitive work for a participant’s own company. The event promises real examples of agent builds that worked as well as examples that did not, offering a practical basis for considering where these tools may or may not fit.
Participants can expect to leave with a method for spotting repetitive work within their own payroll and a clearer way to think about the potential role of AI agents in operational workflows. There will also be time for live answers to questions attendees bring. The page does not provide a timed agenda, named tracks, or a list of specific demonstrations, so those details are not specified.

The session is taught by Jordan Calderon, described as a four-time bootstrapped founder with three exits. His previous agency drove more than $175 million in client revenue. The event listing does not name additional speakers.

Who should attend
This session is intended for owners and operators at 10- to 100-person companies where employees already handle recurring administrative or operational work. It is not aimed at solo founders or pre-team startups: if there is no team doing repetitive admin work, the payroll analysis may not apply. The event is framed as a practical discussion of current capabilities and limitations, not as a claim that every process can be automated.
The session is scheduled for October 13, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. No in-person venue is listed; participation is online via Zoom.
