DeepFest 2025 - Generative AI and Agents
In this article
At DeepFest Riyahd 2025, Henrik Kniberg gave an introductory session on Generative AI and delved into the transformative role of AI agents in shaping the future of work.
This blog contains slides and material related to Henrik's participation in Leap & DeepFest 2025 in Riyadh.
Session 1: Generative AI in a Nutshell
An executive summary of Generative AI, based on Henrik's viral video with the same name. Covers questions like What is generative AI, how does it work, how do I use it, what are some of the risks & limitations. Also covers things like autonomous agents, the role of us humans, prompt engineering tips, AI-powered product development, different types of models, and some tips about mindset around this whole thing.
Session 2: What is an AI Agent (aka Coworker)
What happens when you take a powerful generative AI model and let it out of its box? What happens when you give it context, tools, and autonomy and make it part of your workflow, assigning it tasks and responsibilities? This session is about practical real-life application of autonomous AI Agents. Agents can be integrated into your value stream as proactive collaborators rather than just passive tools. We believe the future belongs to organizations that know how to effectively apply this technology.
