How real-time context powers production-grade agent workflows
AI agents are rapidly transforming how software and data infrastructure are built and operated. Until recently, data systems were designed primarily for human users. Today, agents can continuously explore, reason over, build, validate, and operate on data, creating entirely new requirements for modern data platforms.
At the same time, we're seeing the emergence of Physical AI: robots, autonomous systems, smart warehouses, industrial automation, and other AI applications that interact directly with the physical world. These systems depend on timely, accurate, and continuously updated context to make decisions effectively. Whether it's an agent orchestrating business workflows or a robot navigating a warehouse, success depends on access to fresh, reliable, and shared context.
As a result, the data infrastructure landscape is evolving rapidly. Traditional data architectures are giving way to systems designed for continuous updates, real-time context, and agent-native workflows. Building production-grade agents requires more than powerful models. It requires a robust data foundation capable of delivering trustworthy context at scale.
Join us for an evening exploring how modern data infrastructure is enabling the next generation of AI agents and intelligent systems. We'll bring together the Berlin data and AI community to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and architectural shifts shaping the Age of Agents.
Leaders from RisingWave, Hivemind Technologies, and dltHub will share their perspectives on building agent-ready data systems, supporting real-time decision-making, and powering production AI applications. We'll also open the floor for discussion, allowing attendees to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss the biggest challenges they're facing as they build data and AI systems today.
