​Scale Fast, Burn Faster: The Real Cost of Autonomous AI

​10 September | 10:00–11:00
Volvo Studio, Stockholm
Led by Izhak Zimmermann, General Manager, DoiT

​Deploying AI agents is easy; scaling them without torching your gross margins is where most tech companies hit a wall. When usage spikes, do you actually know which customer, agent, or edge-case tool call is draining your cloud budget?

​Join a DoiT and a select group of founders and scale-up tech leaders for an off-the-record roundtable on the unspoken economics of AI at scale. We’re skipping the hype to talk about runaway agentic workflows, cost-to-serve unpredictable workloads, and how to protect your margins as you grow. No decks. No product pitches. Just an honest conversation on what it really costs to build autonomous AI products.

​Discussion topics

• ​The Agent Margin Trap: Why loops, tool calls, and retries break SaaS margins

• ​Granular Spend Tracking: Attributing costs to specific users, tenants, and features

• ​Runaway Protection: Using circuit breakers and execution limits to stop budget leaks

• ​Pricing & Packaging: Charging customers sustainably for non-deterministic workloads

• ​Architecture Tradeoffs: Practical cost optimization with routing, caching, and smaller models

• ​Lessons from the Field: Real-world war stories and fixes from scaling teams

​Who should attend?

​Leaders building, operating, and scaling AI products in production:

• ​Founders & CEOs protecting unit economics and margins

• ​CTOs, VPs of Eng & Tech Leads managing agent infrastructure and compute

• ​Product Leads & AI PMs balancing user experience with cost-to-serve

• ​FinOps & Cloud Cost Owners tracking and governing dynamic AI spend

​What you'll gain

• ​Clear frameworks to track and attribute agentic costs per user and task

• ​Architectural guardrails to prevent unexpected bill spikes

• ​Sustainable pricing strategies for unpredictable AI features

• ​Honest, off-the-record insights from peers tackling production scale
