Discussion Topic: Sharing STLSWUG April 2026 Presentations

Are we able to get links to the presentations from the STLSWUG April 2026 meeting from Derek Lawson's and Braxton Kersting's sessions?
Here are some of the points that I noted:

Derek Lawson - Bananaz.ai
Bananaz.ai is a SAAS
It is an Agentic Layer
It synchronizes PDM data to Bananaz Platform
User Redlining & Commenting is done in Platform without the need of a Solidworks installation
Drawings, Assemblies & Parts are analyzed by Rules against industry manufacturing standards
Custom Rule creation is performed in a chat mode box
Platform does not change PDM states or check-in/out, that must be performed by users.
Question raised about Copyrighted industry standards that may require individual licensing
Question raised about whether rules are compatible with MDB modeling
Question raised about PDM version synchronization with cold storage
Braxton Kersting - MLC-CAD SYSTEMS
API demo
Macro Recorder demo
Record & Debug using offline help file
Removing extraneous recorded steps
