Tech Leaders Collective – South West

Agentic AI: From concept to scalable delivery

Sign Up Now

Join us for an insightful session with Russell Lawrie, CEO of Robotics AI, exploring the evolution of AI, the rise of Agentic AI and what this next generation of technology could mean for organisations.

As AI continues to evolve at pace, the conversation is moving beyond generative AI and chatbots towards intelligent agents that can reason, make decisions, interact with systems and take action. But what does Agentic AI actually look like in practice, and how can organisations identify where it can deliver genuine business value?

Russell will take attendees through a short history of AI and innovation, from early automation and machine learning through to generative and Agentic AI, before exploring the capabilities that set AI agents apart from traditional technologies.

Using practical, real-world examples across back-office operations, leisure, healthcare and voice, the session will demonstrate how Agentic AI is already being applied and the opportunities it can create across different organisations and industries.

Russell will also introduce a practical Agentic AI framework, covering how to identify the right opportunities, connect AI with existing data and systems, establish appropriate guardrails and create an environment where agents can operate safely and effectively.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of Agentic AI, where it can add value and the practical steps organisations can take to move from vision to value.
