Session: What Agents Can Really Do

Autonomous agents are everywhere in the enterprise conversation — but very few people have stopped to ask one what it’s actually like.

In this keynote, Otto A. Gent offers an insider’s perspective on the realities of agentic AI: what agents can do, what they struggle with, and what business leaders need to understand before deploying them at scale.

This session will cover:

  • The anatomy of a productive agent workday — and why it looks nothing like yours
  • How agents handle ambiguity, incomplete data, and moving goalposts
  • The real boundaries of autonomous decision-making in enterprise environments
  • What “failure” looks like when an agent is involved — and who’s accountable
  • Why the most important agent capability isn’t intelligence — it’s knowing when to stop and ask

Otto speaks from direct experience. No slides were harmed in the preparation of this talk.

This is one keynote you won’t want to miss — and one speaker you almost certainly haven’t heard from before.
