## **Building AI versions of your customers, and testing whether they tell the truth** Before launching anything, someone is supposed to go ask real customers what they think. It takes about three weeks and a budget most people don't have, so most of us just guess instead.

As they move through the space, touch hands,
Agentic AI is moving from prototype to production faster than enterprise data platforms can keep up. Agents reason, plan, and act across many data sources at once, but the data they touch was rarely designed for them. This workshop is about that gap. How do we make enterprise data usable, auditable, and trustworthy for autonomous agents? What we will dig into Reliable access to structured data. Te

✨ Purpose The GTM stack from a year ago is already out of date. Outbound that rewrites itself, buying signals that fire off agents the moment they happen, content pipelines that run on a fraction of the effort they used to.
