Transforming ecommerce item catalogue stewardship using GenAI and vision computing

GenAI and Vision Computing models offer a way to simplify and automate ecommerce item catalogue stewardship tasks. They are capable of everything between from predicting and enriching attributes for better guest experience and findability to creating automated infographics that tell the story of the item in one picture. This powers the e-commerce platform by increasing data fidelity and providing… more

Smart Agents, Smarter Schedules: Agentic AI for Complex Optimization

Extended Abstract:- Constrained optimization lies at the heart of many complex systems, where multiple limited resources must be allocated efficiently to achieve specific goals, while satisfying strict operational constraints. These problems generally sit at the core of logistics optimisation, smart scheduling, etc. They are often high-dimensional, dynamic, and involve tightly coupled dependencie… more

Workshop: Build & Optimise AI Agents That Survive Production

Description It’s easy to ship a magical agent demo. It’s much harder to ship an agent that works for real users: noisy inputs, partial context, flaky tools, ambiguous goals, and “tiny prompt changes” that break everything. more

Interrogating your twin: causal reasoning in manufacturing systems

Describe your session in 2 paragraphs Digital twins, predictive maintenance models, and AI-driven quality control all promise to tell manufacturers what to do. But there’s a critical gap - most ML models only reveal correlations, not causation. When your predictive maintenance system flags high vibration as a failure predictor, does reducing vibration actually prevent failures, or is vibration me… more

Agentic Intelligence Fabric for Smart Buildings

Session Overview Smart buildings today generate massive volumes of energy, occupancy, environmental, and asset data—but organizations still struggle to turn these signals into reliable, automated decisions. Traditional analytics or rules-based workflows cannot keep up with the complexity, leading to inconsistent operations, missed insights, and systems that are difficult to scale or trust in miss… more

Transforming robot and vehicle autonomy with End-to-End AI stacks and World Foundation Models

The landscape of autonomous systems is rapidly evolving, shifting from traditional, modular approaches to integrated, end-to-end AI stacks. These stacks represent a significant leap forward, capable of directly translating raw perception inputs – such as camera images and lidar data – into precise action control outputs without relying on intermediate, hand-engineered modules. This streamlined ar… more

From Scratch to Production in 3 Months: The AI-First Delivery Model

Session Description Most teams bolt AI onto existing processes: same Jira workflows, same sprint rituals, same onboarding docs, just with Copilot autocompleting some code. But what if you could start fresh? What if you had a greenfield project and could design your entire delivery process knowing what AI can do today? more

Accelerating Development through AI-Powered Test Automation - A Real-World Journey

Description Traditional test automation breaks down at scale: test suites become brittle, coverage lags behind feature velocity, and QA teams spend more time maintaining tests than finding real issues. At IDfy, we ran into similar problems while shipping multiple times a week across APIs, UIs, and ML-based solutions. This session walks through how we designed and built an AI-powered QA automation… more

LLM Inference Optimizations: A Deep Dive into Modern Techniques

Problem statement The core problem discussed is the “Memory Wall” in LLM inference—where GPU computational power has scaled dramatically (~50,000x+ in the last decade), but memory bandwidth has lagged (only 100x growth), making inference memory-bound rather than compute-bound. This leads to idle GPU cores, high latency, and inefficient resource utilization, especially for long-context models and … more

Accelerating Agentic AI Adoption with Nutanix Enterprise AI - workshop

AI Agents can autonomously think, plan and execute with minimal human supervision. AI Agents have shown promising results in improving productivity which is why enterprises are eager to adopt AI agents. AI Agents are designed to handle complex tasks using the underlying model’s reasoning capabilities which are context sensitive and probabilistic. This means sometimes, they can exhibit non-determi… more
