Event topicsAI Agents – let’s get realTechnologists have long been excited by the idea of autonomous systems working side-by-side with people to help them. The hurdle was that we lacked that general problem-solving power. With LLMs, we finally have this missing component.
AI Agents are like layers on top of the language models that observe and collect information, provide input to the model, and together generate an action plan and communicate that to the user — or even act on their own, if permitted. So, both agents and models are equally important pieces of the puzzle, as far as generative AI tools go.
In this session, we will cover the whole idea of AI agents as a concept for system design and then show you the exact implementation of AI Agentic application – contact center – for both internal and external audiences.
Engaging People, Optimizing Operations, and Leveraging AIKenvue will showcase its award-winning Funpack Initiative, which has strengthened company culture by engaging over two-thirds of its 400 employees in social, cultural, and charity activities. Alongside this, Kenvue is enhancing its DC & Distribution Network with advanced analytics to optimize supply chains and adapt to market shifts. AI-driven Cost to Deliver & Route to Market strategies are further refining delivery efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring real-time decision-making. These innovations highlight Kenvue’s commitment to employee engagement, operational excellence, and cutting-edge technology in consumer health.

The Agentic Revolution: How AI Agents Are Transforming Document Processing in 2025AI Agents—just another hype cycle or the future of intelligent automation? While questions remain about their true capabilities, the agentic era is here, ready to revolutionize how humans interact with documents. AI Agents are no longer just generalists; they are evolving into specialists capable of handling paperwork at every stage, even complex tasks requiring business context and human-level reasoning. Rossum is launching a set of skills and tools to enable AI agents to take over document processing, ensuring clarity, automation, and real-time insights.
