GenAI for Finance: Beyond Agent-Washing - From Idea to Infrastructure

Agentic AI is gaining visibility in finance, but many so-called “agentic systems” are little more than PowerPoint proofs of concept or API wrappers with no real autonomy. This talk goes beyond the hype and explains how real agentic systems are being built and deployed. From tool-augmented reasoning and structured reflection loops to infrastructure-aware orchestration. The session outlines what it takes to move from concept to production – cutting through agent-washing and showing where tangible value is already being created.

Join us for a free, 45-minute webinar that gives you a clear, concise introduction to the future of AI in finance.

What You'll Learn in 45 Minutes

• Differentiate hype from reality – Understand what truly makes an AI system “agentic” versus superficial API wrappers or slideware demos.
• Learn the core building blocks – Gain insight into tool-augmented reasoning, structured reflection loops, and infrastructure-aware orchestration.
• Move from concept to production – Discover the practical steps, design trade-offs, and pitfalls in taking agentic systems beyond proofs of concept.
• See where value is created today – Explore real-world use cases in finance where agentic AI is already delivering measurable impact.
• Apply a practical evaluation framework – Take away a roadmap for spotting “agent-washing” and assessing opportunities in their own organizations.
