    Essentially, every business decision, at its core, is about improving human lives. Yet, in the rush of digital transformation and the rapid rise of generative AI, organisations often prioritise optimisation and technology adoption over the human element. In this interactive workshop, Tiarma will guide participants through a collaborative exploration of how to strike the right balance between technology and humanity in their own businesses.

    Using real-world cases from participants, the session will focus on creating templates to determine which tasks are best suited for software, which should be handled by AI, and which will always require the unique touch of human creativity and empathy. Together, we’ll uncover how to design processes that not only leverage cutting-edge technology but also prioritise the human experience.

    The Why:
    In an era dominated by technological advancements, it’s easy to lose sight of the human element that drives business success. This workshop is a reminder that technology should serve people, not the other way around. By understanding where humans excel and where technology can enhance efficiency, businesses can create more meaningful and sustainable solutions.

    Key Takeaways:
    • A framework for determining which tasks are best suited for software, AI, or human expertise.
    • Strategies to ensure technology adoption enhances, rather than diminishes, the human experience.
    • Insights into designing processes that balance efficiency with empathy and creativity.

    This session is for... you if you’re navigating digital transformation, exploring AI integration, or simply seeking to ensure your business remains human-centric in a tech-driven world. Whether you’re a decision-maker, a team leader, or an innovator, this workshop will equip you with practical tools to align technology with humanity.

    Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced automation across a diverse range of tasks. These agents have the ability to use tools, execute commands, analyze feedback from their environment, and plan future actions.
     
    This session explores how autonomous LLM agents can take on tedious tasks, such as debugging, patching, and resolving data visualization bugs, allowing teams to focus on high-value work like building models, generating actionable business insights, and developing innovative software more efficiently. Learn how these agents can interact with enterprise data through natural language to provide real-time insights, while multimodal capabilities enable them to tackle the diverse challenges of complex data visualization issues.
     
    The Why:

    As software and data-driven applications scale, debugging and fixing bugs and visualization issues remain some of the most time-consuming and repetitive tasks for engineers. Traditional debugging requires manual intervention, slowing down workflows and delaying production releases. With the rise of LLM-powered agents, teams now have access to autonomous systems capable of identifying, analyzing, and resolving errors with minimal human oversight.
