​AI Salon KL – AI Beyond Chatbots: Embedded, Real-world AI Systems

​🚀 The AI conversation is evolving.

​Beyond copilots and chat interfaces, a new wave of builders is embedding AI directly into industrial systems, healthcare workflows, hardware, edge devices, and operational infrastructure.

​Join us for the next edition of AI Salon KL as we explore what happens when AI leaves the demo stage and enters the real world.

​This session brings together researchers, founders, and operators building practical AI systems that interact with physical environments, legacy infrastructure, and mission-critical workflows.

​Expect an evening of sharp technical conversations, founder insights, and meaningful connections with Kuala Lumpur’s growing AI ecosystem.

​🎤 Panel Session

​We’re excited to host a panel featuring researchers and founders building AI systems beyond traditional chatbot experiences:

• ​Hafsa Syeda
  Researcher exploring AI-driven wearable technologies and intelligent sensing systems.

• ​Ts. David Romero Garcia
  Saving the forest with technology from our Forest Intelligence Platform.

• ​Qaiyyum Hakimi
  Building ZeptoStack – enabling industrial teams to deploy reliable AI agents locally and integrate with real-world infrastructure.

• ​Haniya Farhan
  Researching counterfactual inference and multi-agent LLM systems for emergency department triage workflows.

​🎤 Startup / Builder Demo & Pitch Opportunities

​We’ll also be opening a limited number of slots for founders, researchers, and builders to showcase their AI projects during the event.

​If you’re building something interesting — whether it’s infrastructure, agents, robotics, healthcare AI, embedded systems, developer tools, or applied AI products — let us know in the registration form.

​Selected teams will get the opportunity to demo their work to the community.
