Women of Search Present: AI Agents: From Hype to Reality
Angeley Mullins and Olena Gorbatiuk and Atita Arora • Location: TUECHTIG • Back to Haystack EU 2024
The AI agent revolution promises to transform products, but reality is more nuanced. This session brings together three perspectives: where the hype originates, what users actually need vs what’s promised, and the technical limitations we face today. Through startup investment, product management, and AI architecture lenses, we’ll bridge the gap between market excitement and practical implementation. Attendees will learn how to build AI agents that solve real problems rather than chase technological possibilities.
