How are you using AI and Stripe inside your product?\n- Q2. What are you doing on the cost side when using AI?\n- Q3. What are you thinking about when it comes to pricing?\n- Q4. In the AI era, what do you think really matters in product development to actually generate revenue?\n\nThe archive video will be uploaded to YouTube at a later date, so I’ll leave the specifics of what was discussed to that.\n\n## After-party\n\nAfter the session, in addition to the official after-party organized by the event, informal 2nd and 3rd after-parties (nijikai and sanjikai) gave us plenty of time to talk with attendees.
