I headed over to the Indonesia Product Conference 2025, an event Apiary has been running for a while now, and it’s clear they keep leveling up. It feels like forever since we&rsquo;ve had these big, in-person gatherings post-COVID, so the energy was palpable.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, the theme this year was AI. But what I found fascinating was the undercurrent beneath the massive GenAI wave. While the conference was certainly riding the hype, most of the speakers on the Growth/Main Stage were actually focused on the practical, real-world applications of &ldquo;traditional&rdquo; AI—like machine learning for recommendation systems—rather than just the latest generative models.</p>
