For Helm members (founders) and the most relevant members of your SLT

Summary:

Join Xen Lategan, founder of Shiftline AI, for an inside look at the emerging landscape of Agentic AI-AI systems that don't just assist but act, plan, and adapt autonomously.

This session will unpack what Agentic AI really means in practice, the infrastructure enabling it, and the impact it's already having across industries from e-commerce to software development.

Xen will draw on live use cases, including intelligent product discovery, predictive analytics, and fully autonomous agents in production environments.

He'll also share lessons from building agentic platforms inside enterprise environments, and why many businesses are unknowingly building on technological quicksand.

Whether you're exploring applications, infrastructure, or strategy, this session will equip you with a clearer view of where things are headed-and what to do about it.

Key Topics

  • What makes an AI system "agentic"
  • From copilots to autonomous teammates
  • Lessons from enterprise deployments
  • Balancing orchestration, tool use, and planning
  • Shifts in data ownership and AI business models
