Transforming Industries with AI Agents: Key Seminar Insights
In recent years, the deployment of generative AI has seen remarkable expansion; however, the adoption of autonomous AI agents—systems that can plan and act independently—remains limited. Most applications have been concentrated within sales and customer service domains. This presents a significant gap and an opportunity for various industries.
In our upcoming seminar, we will delve deep into how AI agents can transform the manufacturing, energy, and logistics sectors. The session will provide clear explanations starting from fundamental knowledge to practical steps for implementation, along with successful case studies that illustrate the potential of AI agents.
