Beyond the Hype: When AI Agents Make Sense and When They Don't

​Join us on December 9th at the Seven Peaks office at 6pm until 9pm for an enlightening event, “Beyond the Hype: When AI Agents Make Sense and When They Don't”

​★★ This event is sponsored by Dexian and Couchbase★★

​
Keynote Speakers (30 min):

Keynote Speaker #1: Damien Velly, VP of Data and AI from Seven Peaks speaking on "AI not answer for all, get you expectation right"

Organizations today have high expectations for AI but what is the reality behind the promise? What drives the current AI hype, and how does it impact the way we build technology solutions?

As we explore questions such as whether AI could replace APIs and how MCP fits into the evolving landscape, this session will walk through practical insights on where AI truly makes sense and how to avoid over-engineering your solutions.

Keynote Speaker #2: Ashu Bhatia, Global Head - Digital Practices from Dexian, will present “AI Agents will need an office: Build Enterprise Architecture, a place to work”

We talk about AI agents as if they were employees, but no one asks a crucial question: Where will they work? Without the "office," agents wander, fail, or create chaos.

Not every problem requires an agent, but when agents do make sense, they demand structure. The common failure mode is over-engineering without proper foundations.

Join Ashu as he explores What an “Office” for AI Agents Really Means and introduces The “Agent-Ready Use Case Test.” He will illustrate this test with examples, including IT Helpdesk Automation, Sales Forecasting Agents, and Contract Review Automation

Keynote Speaker #3: Shivay Lamba, Senior Developer Experience Engineer – AI, will present “Reimagining Enterprise Knowledge: How AI Helps You Know More, Do More, and Decide Faster.”

In this session, he will explore the gap between AI hype and business reality—highlighting why many organizations struggle to turn AI into real value without access to their own data. Shivay will introduce Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as the key to bridging that gap, enabling AI to generate responses grounded in verified company knowledge.

Through real-world use cases in retail and finance, he will demonstrate how RAG accelerates decision-making, enhances customer experiences, and boosts productivity. Finally, he will showcase how Couchbase, with its unified data engine, vector search, and scalability across cloud to edge, serves as the ideal database foundation for building intelligent, AI-powered applications.
