AI Agents: Ready for Real Business?

AI Agents: Ready for Real Business?

Online

AI Agents have been everywhere for months — but beneath the buzzword lies a crucial question:
Do agentic workflows actually create meaningful relief for organizations, or do they introduce new layers of complexity?
Many companies are asking the same things:

  • Do we actually need AI Agents?
  • Can they really reduce our manual workload?
  • Or will everything simply become more complicated?

In this session, we look beyond the hype — clearly, pragmatically, and with real use cases.

## Hello Growth Stage Members,

AI Agents have been heavily promoted across all channels — but beyond the marketing, the essential question is this:
Do AI Agents deliver measurable value, or are they overestimated at this stage?
Anton Siering, founder of Neovynt, will share how organizations — including public-sector institutions and SMEs — already automate 50–60% of their administrative workload, reduce costs, and free teams from repetitive tasks.
And all of this without IT overload or months of development. Textvorschlag
This session focuses on a realistic view:
no hype, no exaggerated promises — just clarity, structure, and tangible results.

## Main Discussion Points

  • What AI Agents Really Are — and What They Are Not
  • Where the Business Value Appears (Real Use Cases)
  • Technical Foundations for Safe & Reliable Deployment
  • Implementation Roadmap to Avoid Failed PoCs

## Pitch Round (as always)

We begin with our signature 2-minute introductions, where each participant can:

  • briefly present themselves and their business
  • share their LinkedIn profile or contact details in the chat
  • mention how AI might be relevant to their field

## After the Presentation

We’ll open the floor for a Q&A and group exchange,
creating space for practical questions, experiences, and honest discussion.

## Community Guidelines

  • Camera on – authenticity builds trust
  • Respectful, inclusive, and professional communication
  • Our motto: Grow through collaboration, not competition

## Contact

If you have questions or would like to contribute as a future expert,
you can reach me via Meetup chat or email at contact@katjaboening.com.

I’m looking forward to a session that brings structure and practical understanding to a topic often surrounded by noise.

Thank you for being part of this community and for shaping meaningful conversations within The Growth Stage.
Warm regards,
Katja
