AI in Aesthetics and Wellness Industry: Real Implementation Across 50 Clinic Locations in PH
I'll walk through the practical frameworks, architecture, and tech decisions behind implementing AI across our 50-location aesthetics and wellness business.
Clinic management system I built using AI and no-code tools (now handling thousands of clients and 8 figures in transactions )
Processing 9,300+ service images with LangChain and Multimodal LLMs for data migration (saved weeks of manual work)
Franchisee manuals and training tutorials created using AI tools like ElevenLabs, ChatGPT, and Krea.ai - built exponentially faster and with consistent quality that I could never achieve manually
AI Sales Trainer I'm currently implementing - figuring out the best approach from distribution and technical perspectives, like using LLMs as judges to score conversations
These are a few things that solve actual operational challenges in a multi-location service businesses + our own experience.
I'll also explore something really important that a lot of people are missing, while AI agents and automations are incredibly accessible now, people are rushing to deploy them directly to customers without considering the crucial groundwork, especially around data privacy here in the Philippines.
I'll share what I've researched and how I'm planning to move forward responsibly in our industry.
Hey, I'm Emman, currently in the Aesthetics and Wellness space working with our family business that has 50 locations. I'm just a dude who loves to share the things I've been building with AI in our business day-to-day operations. PS: Been Fighting with LLMs since 2022 🤣

It’s Not As Hard As You Think: Tales From the Lone Techie at a 2-Person AI EdTech Startup
What does it really take to build a real world agent-powered product from scratch? In this talk, Jeremiah shares his journey building Playbook, an AI EdTech startup, as the only engineer on a two-person team.
Along the way he rolled his own memory system, wrestled with LangChain vs. custom orchestration, migrated to Azure AI Foundry from "vanilla" Azure, and stood up agents to act as guides for students. He'll share lessons that go beyond frameworks: how to use AI (and common sense) to guide dev experience, human-agent interaction, and security. He'll talk about what worked (and what didn’t).
You’ll leave with practical takeaways from real-world use — how to assemble with agent frameworks, when to prioritize safety and memory over features, and why trust is the hardest part of any AI system.
Jeremiah Marble is a technical AI product leader, author, and speaker who focuses on building high-quality, customer-centric software in the AI era. He’s currently writing code as the CTO of Playbook, an AI-based startup bootstrapping in the EdTech space. He also speaks, teaches, and leads workshops on AI, agents, and responsible AI (RAI) at 3rd Rodeo AI. Previously, Jeremiah held leadership roles at Mozilla and Microsoft—where he helped grow the Windows Insider Program from a whiteboard idea to more than 22 million people worldwide. An advocate for tech for good and social entrepreneurship, Jeremiah launched “Do The Thing Academy” and co-wrote Model 47: A Startup Storybook to help non-traditional founders turn napkin ideas into responsible businesses. He founded the ethical fashion line Towards Arcadia, empowering single mother tailors worldwide - including in Senegal, Mexico, and with Afghan refugees in Seattle. Previously, Jeremiah worked for the UN in Africa and Asia, was a Fulbright Scholar to Costa Rica, and volunteered in the Dominican Republic with the Peace Corps.
