@ Capgemini
Discover how 750 years of Amsterdam’s history became searchable, speakable, and accessible to everyone. Chat with History uses Agentic AI to unlock the Amsterdam City Archive — sixty kilometres of handwritten documents — allowing users to ask natural-language questions and receive answers drawn directly from historical sources. Lucas Puddifoot and Niket Saurabh share the technical journey behind the project, including how Semantic Kernel and a multi-agent system were used to orchestrate intelligent interactions. They also discuss the challenges of working with historical data and building a scalable, multilingual experience that was even showcased to Satya Nadella. |

From RAG to Agentic System: lessons learnt from the transition
2025-10-30 · 19:00
Zhengru Shen
– Senior Data Scientist
@ Odido
What does it really take to move from a RAG chatbot to an agentic AI system? In this talk, I’ll share the technical and organizational lessons from our migration: the importance of framework choice, common design patterns for building AI agents, the hidden blockers in data foundations, and how we approach evaluation using Langfuse. Through live demos, I’ll illustrate key challenges and design decisions that shaped our system. Beyond the technical aspects, we’ll explore the evolving skill sets for AI teams, the impact of AI-assisted coding, and practical ways to measure real business impact. |
