PyData Wolverhampton Launch Event: From Data to Deployment Join us for the inaugural PyData Wolverhampton meetup! We're bringing together data scientists, engineers, AI practitioners, and anyone interested in Python and data science. What to Expect: This event features two practical talks on building AI systems that work in production: Talk 1: "From Demos to Deployed: Building AI Systems That Work, and Work Right" Speaker: Stephen Toriola (Software & AI Engineer at Compare the Market) Explore how AI has evolved from simple demos to production systems, what makes AI work in real-world applications, and how to build responsibly. Talk 2: "Building AI Right: Ethics and Implementation in Practice" Speaker: Nazeh Abel (AI Consultant at Medallion Technologies) Practical insights on implementing AI ethically, common pitfalls to avoid, and making better decisions when building AI systems. Agenda:
What to Bring: Just yourself! No laptop or preparation needed. Bring business cards if you'd like to connect with other attendees. Food & Drinks: Free pizza and soft drinks provided.

AI Agents in 2025: Beyond Chatbots to Autonomous Workflows
2025-12-04 · 19:10
Stephen Toriola
– Software & AI Engineer
@ Compare the Market
This talk explores AI agents as the next step beyond prompt‑by‑prompt assistants. Modern AI agents use large language models plus planning, tool‑calling, and memory to execute multi‑step workflows, not just answer isolated questions. The session explains, in accessible terms, what makes something an “agent” rather than a simple chatbot: the ability to decompose tasks, call APIs or tools, and maintain context over time. It then surveys real use cases, from automating repetitive knowledge‑work tasks to orchestrating complex enterprise workflows that blend human decisions with autonomous actions. For the technical audience, the talk briefly outlines typical agent architectures and how they integrate with RAG, vector search, and existing backend services. For everyone else, it focuses on capabilities, limitations, and where AI agents are realistically being used in 2025. Attendees will understand what AI agents can and cannot do today, and how they differ from the hype. |

The Real Superpower of AI Isn't Technical — It's Contextual
2025-12-04 · 18:30
We admire LLMs for speed and quality, but technology alone doesn’t differentiate. Context does. Generic tools solve generic problems; your cloud infrastructure, cost models, and optimization workflows are specific to your organisation. This talk shows how AI, tuned to your context, delivers value that used to require bespoke development. Unlike static tools or dedicated teams, AI evolves with your environment in real time, both a blessing and a curse for the needs of Financial Services. |
