Digital Leads Network AI Learning Hour: Exploring Agentic AI Together

​Type of Learning Hour

​Show & Tell

​Session lead

​Kit Powney, Head of Digital Maturity, Tearfund

​Hosted and supported by the Digital Leads Network, part of CAST.

​Purpose of this session

​A facilitated show & tell (e.g. short talk or demo) designed to inspire and spark ideas. The focus is on sharing personal or organisational learning, including what’s worked, what hasn’t and what’s still being explored.

​Session overview

​Exploring Agentic AI Together:
Kit will walk through the design and delivery of a live simulation game run at an all-staff gathering of 150 people. Participants had to decide where to deploy human versus AI agents in an emergency communications workflow. The tool was built using vibe coding and tested in advance - but came with no guarantee it would work on the day (a paper backup was prepared just in case).  

Following the Show & Tell, we'll open up the discussion to share reflections on agentic AI more broadly and what it might mean for orgs like ours.

This is a space to think out loud: to surface concerns, share early observations and explore what responsible engagement with agentic AI could look like in practice, even for organisations not yet deploying it.
