About
Generative AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s quickly becoming a practical tool for solving everyday engineering and business challenges. But while many conversations center around massive AI transformations, the real opportunity lies in deploying nimble, tactical solutions that deliver value quickly. In this session, we'll break down three real-world generative AI use cases that go beyond hype to show what’s working right now in cloud-native environments.
We’ll explore how organizations are using GenAI to drive smarter product recommendations, streamline help desk operations, and optimize legal workflows. You'll see live demos based on our real client solutions and walk away with ideas you can act on today. Whether you're a cloud engineer, architect, or business leader trying to make sense of the AI landscape, this webinar will give you a practical lens into what’s possible—and what’s proven.
