🚀 Our team rocked The Hub Conference on October 24th! Two of our innovation leaders shared game-changing insights on AI transformation: Georgii Fedorov (Head of Development) presented "AI Assistant Without Drama" → Revealed how AI became a real helper for managers handling dozens of team members → Showed how to eliminate hours spent in TMS, HRIS, KMS systems by unifying everything in one window → Shared practical cases that actually work - no crunch, more human-centered processes Kristina Melkonyan (AI Evangelist | Creative Production) explored "Creative Acceleration: From AI Fear to Creative Freedom" → How artists are relearning their craft and avoiding burnout → Opening new career opportunities while accelerating workflows → Why full production automation isn't possible yet (and the hilarious fails that prove it!) → Spoiler: No artists were harmed in our AI art-pipeline implementation 

Our AI Evangelist Kristina Melkonyan just delivered an incredible talk at WN Conference Limassol! "Imagen & Veo: The Ultimate Creative Power-Up for Gaming" was a talk about how we're revolutionizing game development at Nexters ($GDEV). Kristina shared our real-world experience integrating Google's Veo3 technology into our creative workflows. What made this talk special: ⭐ Real Implementation Insights: Kristina walked through our actual integration process - the wins, the challenges, and the "aha!" moments that transformed how our teams approach visual content creation. 🚨 Process Revolution: We discovered that Veo3 is a creative catalyst. Our artists now prototype concepts 10x faster, iterate on visual narratives in real-time, and push creative boundaries we never thought possible. ⚠️ Problem-Solving in Action: Kristina shared how we navigated workflow integration challenges, team adaptation hurdles, and technical implementation roadblocks. Our teams are now creating more immersive, visually stunning experiences while maintaining the human touch that makes games truly magical. Huge thanks to the WN Events Conference team for providing such an incredible platform for industry knowledge sharing. The conversations and connections made here are exactly what push our industry forward.
