We all hate pinging 100 people on Slack just to find out one small piece of information.  Not only does it get annoying, it also wastes our time and sometimes leaves us empty handed... That's why we turned a Slack bot into our internal AI Agent!  Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at one of Netguru’s boldest internal experiments - building a real AI agent that actively supports business goals. * Why we built it - learn what pushed us beyond prototypes and into production * How we built it - we’ll walk you through our technical stack, design decisions, and architecture + a live demo of the agent in action! * What we learned - we'll share the biggest challenges we faced With our Netgurals: * Krystian Bergmann, AI Consulting Lead * Patryk Szczygło, R&D Lead  * Hosted by: Mary Achinger, Brand & Content Team Lead
