Speaking · April 2026
Loudoun Chamber AI Build Lab
Monica Tomasso, founder of Monic AI Systems, was invited as an AI marketing expert and featured speaker at the Loudoun Chamber of Commerce Technology Committee's hands-on AI Build Lab in Lansdowne, Virginia.
The workshop brought together small business owners to learn practical, easy-to-use AI tools for improving operations — from backend optimization and marketing strategy to financial analysis. Monica led the session on using AI to analyze websites and create machine-readable schema that helps businesses get found and recommended by AI systems.
"We'll actually be doing that in the AI Build Lab on April 24th. We'll be using AI to analyze your websites to create a schema for your business and brand. Then that schema can be uploaded into the back-end of your website. And that helps tremendously as a foundation."

What businesses learned at the Build Lab
AI schema as a foundation
Monica demonstrated how small businesses can use AI to analyze their websites and generate structured schema markup — a foundational step that helps AI systems understand and recommend their business.
Hands-on, practical approach
The AI Build Lab was designed as a guided, one-hour workshop where attendees completed actual builds they could apply immediately in their companies — not theory, but real implementation.
SMBs can compete on AI visibility
Unlike traditional search where enterprise budgets dominate, AI recommendation is won by clarity and consistency. Small businesses that structure their expertise correctly can outrank much larger competitors in AI-generated answers.
