Session Details

Meet the Agent Workforce: How People & Talent Teams Use AI in Practice

TRACK
1. AI-Native Playbook
12:00 pm
12:45 pm

AI becomes most valuable when it moves beyond experimentation and into everyday work. In this practical session, I’ll show how our People & Talent team uses agents across hiring, people operations and decision-making—including what we’ve built, the problems each agent solves and how they fit into our workflows. I’ll share real use cases, examples of what has saved us time, and the failures and lessons along the way. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for identifying valuable agent opportunities and getting started in their own teams.

What you'll leave with:

  1. A practical view of how agents can be embedded into everyday workflows.
  2. Real examples of what worked, what failed and what we learned while building and adopting agents.
  3. A simple approach for identifying high-value use cases and testing an initial agent within your own team.
