Deliver Value for Consumers: Personas x Agentic AI
About the Event
Most AI agents in production today focus on business workflows—automating tasks, coordinating projects, and streamlining operations. But the agentic web still lacks its breakthrough consumer killer app.
This event brings together the powerhouses of NYC’s advertising industry—experts in human behavior, motivation, and consumer pain points—with the builders and innovators of the NY tech community.
Together, we’ll explore how agentic AI can unlock real, everyday value for real people.
The NYC Project NANDA Chapter invites you to roll up your sleeves, join a fast-paced ideation sprint, and co-create the next wave of consumer-facing agentic experiences.
