All right, welcome everyone. My name is
Amal. I'm the CTO and co-founder of
Avani, uh, one of the three hosts today
with you. And my presentation is
entirely focused on the strategy from
literally
getting to know what is an AI agent to
the level that you see an actual use
case of this. I'm using this workflow
that I'm going to show you guys next on
a daily basis. I'm also an NATO
ambassador. Um that means I am taking
the Nathan brand to the world uh
literally every single week uh in a
workshop format. Uh yesterday I was in
Lisbon, the week before that I was in
Vienna. Next week I'll be in Madrid and
it keeps going on. By the end of this
year we will be in 21 cities.
So today my
mission is to give you guys a holistic
view of what can an AI agent do for you
especially in the light of an N8
workflow. So we'll start right away from
a live demo. I hope it's not going to
break. Uh but the demo that I'm going to
show you is like this and it's something
that I am using on a daily basis myself.
So literally when I do these travels,
our accounting department really gets
mad if I don't give them these receipts,
the scan copy of these receipts. So
having AI agents work for you uh and
having like a real use case is something
that I'm going to show you today. So
what I do is I go to um these cities
every week, a new city. I get a lot of
these ones. The moment I get them, I
take a snap of it. You'll see it in a
minute. And then it goes through this
workflow which we'll build it together
um at the kind of like 70% of the
progress of this uh today's talk. And
then you'll see that it's no more a
kind of uh future technology. It's
already there and people are using it or
nerds like me are using it. I'm a a
technologist. You'll know a little bit
more about me. But let's give the demo a
try. So I have my phone attached through
this cable to my screen. You can see it
here. It's um simple Google Drive app.
You can see that um right now I'm
running Google Drive and Google Drive
has this little scan feature and I have
a folder called invoices. So what I'm
going to do is go to invoices. you'll
see all of the invoices that I have been
using lately.
And this is a question that a lot of
people ask me uh when I go and do these
workshops that what is the front end for
an A10.
The simplest answer is that the front
end can be anything. And right now
you're seeing the front end a Google
Drive mobile application that takes a
snap of this uh this receipt and then it
turns out into something that's more
usable. on the right side, you'll see
that uh this entire receipt will be
scanned and then you'll see all the data
in here. So, let's give it a try. I'm
going to scan this receipt right now.
Here, there's this little um
scan feature. I'm going to scan this
and see how the scan goes.
Work.
This is not an NA10 feature. This is an
app that is built by um
by Google. They did a good job. So you
can do like cropping only if the screen
do not go out. I touched the cable.
There you go. So now I'm doing these
cropping things in here just to give you
guys an idea of what's going on.
Fingers crossed
demos can fail. This is a real demo. So
you can see that now it's uh uploading.
The upload is right now completed.
Um now if everything worked fine, I
should be able to run this workflow. And
what it's doing is using Mestral AI's
OCR. Mal AI is a company based out of
uh France. And it just worked. Nice.
My stress is no less. So, it put all the
information from this in here that I
need with a short description of what is
it about and also a link that my
accounting department can go and find
the invoice and get all the information
that they need.
And this is an actual use case that is
being used on a weekly basis. And and
this is something uh I used to do lit
literally by hand a little bit of OCR
here and there but now that we have
things going on in this way and also
kind of demoing it it's insane like this
technology was not possible to this
extent um let's say a year ago. Now the
main topic of my talk today is that I
show you what is an AI agent and what
can you do with an AI agent. This is one
example of this and there will be
thousands of more emerging in your daily
work life. uh at Avani we are exactly
challenging this that we are reimagining
work and sometimes uh if I take workflow
as workflow orchestration NA10 it is
actually a work
building tool so NA10 is a work building
it's basically reimagining how we work
so a few words about myself I speak five
languages human languages around 20
computer languages And I have been
building companies for the past 17
years. I built six tech companies. Uh
one of which is so dear to my heart. Uh
after consulting all those big uh
clients. This is the one that I really
like the most. This voice AI agent that
I built in 2023 and 2024.
By show fans, who knows this picture? 40
years old. Oh, 40 years old. So this is
a picture from 1980s uh TV series. and
David Aselhov talks to this car or for
those of you who are young, you might
know this picture. It's basically the
very early uh
voice AI agents showing up as as a TV
series or or as a movie and it was not
possible until just recently and I was
building this company in 2023 and 2024
and things that are possible today was
not possible two years ago, one and a
half years ago because of technological
shift.
What I learned after all of this startup
hype and liquidation uh is this amazing
technology that literally took the
entire orchestration of my company N10.
So this in this technology was in in a
very good time uh coming to me kind of
like going down from one side from this
startup but also going up from other
side as an educator. I am now educating
the world uh teaching them NAT through
my YouTube channel and as well through
my engagement as a co-founder and CTO of
um Avanoi partnering with NATO and
taking Nathan education to the world.
But my educational content is not kind
of like here's the ABC of it and go
figure it out yourself. All of the
content that I come up with is an actual
use case as you saw.
So, as a quick icebreaker, I I would
like to ask randomly some of you one of
those questions and then I'll go on.
So, is it okay if I ask you a question?
Okay. So, what's the coolest AI feature
that you have seen recently?
voice.
>> Tell me chat GPT voice AI feature.
>> I like voice
>> to be honest. Not only that uh I mean
like the response uh how they responds.
>> Yeah. Every time you ask them even if
you give them more pressure to give me
the straight answer. Don't go uh
sideways or something else. Um, this is
what I like really because it's it makes
it more human. This is what I uh for me
it's uh pretty um
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. makes sense. Anyone else wants to
participate? Answer one of those three
questions.
>> Come on.
>> Yeah.
>> Um let's say if AI could automate one
task in your life, what would it be?
>> Handling my inbox and managing my
calendar.
>> Absolutely. Low hanging fruits. Easy to
do it. and and also we have some slides
coming up about EU AI act regulation
wise this is the low hanging fruit. So
if I put what is an AI uh agent in one
sentence I would choose this sentence
and the keyword I would like you guys to
focus on is this digital coworker.
I think that moment is not so far away
that our bosses will introduce Lisa
and you'll say, "Hey everyone, please
welcome Lisa in a daily standup call."
But the only difference is that Lisa is
not a human intelligent. She has a face.
She can talk to you. She can learn. She
can reason. But she's a digital
coworker.
The scary part of this is if you're not
a part of this whole movement, the scary
part is that she has a PhD plus level
IQ.
She doesn't sleep.
And her salary is a€,000 per month. Good
luck competing with her.
So, but on the other positive side, if
you're a part of it, which you are,
therefore you're in this room today,
we're building these digital co-workers
so that we can save time and really have
that 10 hours working week and spend the
rest of those 30 hours with our loved
ones or do whatever we like to do. And
in order to demonstrate this, uh, I'd
like you guys to a volunteer to come and
talk to my AI agent. It sounds like me.
It's my voice clone. One volunteer,
please come here. Anyone? It would sound
really strange if I talk to myself.
Anyone wants to come here and talk to to
my voice agent? Just a few sentences.
Please come here.
>> I'm just doing it because I can't bear
the site.
>> Thank you. We need some more rebels like
yourself.
>> Uh, should work.
if the voice.
>> Hello, dear. How are you doing?
>> I'm doing fine. How are you?
>> I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.
How's everything on your end?
>> No, it's it's fine. Had a long drive
today. Um, let me ask you a question
that I was asked recently. What's the
coolest AI feature you've seen recently?
>> Uh, a long drive sounds exhausting, but
hopefully peaceful. As for the coolest
AI feature, I'd say it's the increasing
ability of AI to generate highly
realistic virtual environments in real
time. With advancements in AIdriven
graphics, you can now create immersive
virtual worlds for games or simulations
that look almost indistinguishable from
real life. It's incredible how AI can
model and render environments with such
detail and precision, opening up a new
realm of possibilities for
entertainment, training, and beyond.
What do you find cool in the world of
AI?
>> Yeah, also that.
>> Also that. Thank you so much. Thanks a
lot. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> So that
Thank you for actually breaking that ice
which I couldn't not do it with the
icebreaker I had in coming here and
talking. So this digital version of
ourselves is inevitable. As Mark
Zuckerberg said, everybody will have an
AI agent and I think this is the early
sign of that. Almost everyone will have
one of these things. And instead of
sending your Calendarly link to to
people, you will send your AI agent to
talk to them and then you get the gist
of it. Or if the AI agent realizes that
it's the time to call you, it will call
you on your phone. Then you jump over
and take over the line. And and that
digital coworker is the key term that I
want you guys to remember. It's coming.
Some examples of this is lowhanging
fruits. Invoice reconciliation. There's
a lot of information flowing in an
invoice and invoice reconcilation is
very very easy to to build and AI agents
ace at this right now. I I don't know
why that is not doing it in a massive
scale although I know they are doing it.
They invited me in that headquarters. I
give a talk about a project I did about
nan and dative and AI agents. Um,
another one is cash flow prediction.
Like big businesses really can suffer
from cash flow, but this is an simple
one like all the data moving in
different spreadsheets and different
accounting systems. This can easily be
automated.
Compliance uh is another big chunk that
we can do because a lot of texts move
around and I don't know how many audited
reports have audit errors because there
was a human in the loop like a human
auditor did it but an AI agent capable
of doing uh tax audits will do almost
zero mistakes.
Um, I worked for or or I was a partner
to a $300 million scaleup company, an
e-commerce uh company. And there I
learned that you optimize little bit of
your uh your payments, especially for
your suppliers. There is like 200 pages
of each supplier contract and you find
one small little clause that you can pay
them 5 days in advance. You end up
saving thousands or tens of thousands of
euros every day. That's not possible
with human brain but an AI agent can do
that for you. My uh beloved feature of
AI is this voice AI. Imagine this uh
kind of a real state company
implementing a a call system, a phone
call system that all the tenants who
rent get a phone call on the first day
of the month. Your your rent is due. You
didn't pay. Can you please pay? and have
all the integration with the bank APIs
and so on to make sure that they paid or
not and call only those who didn't pay.
So
where do you see someone a little bit
audience engagement? Where do you see
that AI agents making the most impact?
There's one very visible
area.
>> Yes.
>> Pictures. This gentleman says pictures.
Anyone else? every everything where you
have a lot of very small details which
is hard for a human to write
>> small details text or whatever content
it is okay picture content text
>> making appointments in German uh doctors
>> making appointments in German do with
German doctors very very true what else
>> there's a very visible one nobody's
saying that right now in this crowd it
disrupted this industry it made a huge
impact
coding.
I have been coding for 23 years
non-stop. The last lines of code I wrote
was like literally this afternoon when I
was doing a podcast.
So coding was immersively disrupted.
Right now we have this concept of vibe
coding and and this is happening because
AI agents now can run in the so-called
YOLO mode in 3 four hours build the
entire work for you autonomously and
that's that's amazing. So there are a
lot of these platforms like the most
awesome one NA10 uh relevance AI you can
I like their LinkedIn scraper uh Lindy
an end toend integration vapia voice AI
agent 11 Labs uh an EU based polish
company that allows you to do voice
cloning voice technology stuff crew AI a
Python library that you can build AI
agents orchestrate multiple AI agents
together. Mastra for typescript
engineers, AI SDK agnostic model uh
selector and open AI and also Google are
getting into this software development
kit game bringing their own
technologies. But there's another corner
of AI agents that uses computer. This is
very interesting. Like if you have an
API that's fine you can automate almost
everything with NA10 but if you don't
have an API nowadays AI agents can also
use computer they can m move the mouse
take a screenshot understand the picture
on the screenshot and then click
somewhere type something execute your
wish for example you say can you please
buy me some um uh some bananas from I
don't know flink or or or whatever
grocery it goes on that check list and
then buys you this stuff and then does a
full checkout. Uh one from Antropic is
called computer use uh the first one and
then operator from open AI and from
China Manus AI. These are projects that
are doing this. And I'm this dude uh so
deep into Linux and
kernels and Docker containers and so on
and virtualization and I say that I want
to poke things around and think and see
how do they do these things. It's not so
complicated to put a virtual machine.
And then I end up building this one. Uh
this is datative accounting software on
the right side running inside a web top
docker container and a nexjs application
here literally taking my commands here I
upload multiple invoices it goes there
and then uploads it one by one and
runs some OCR fills all the fields
basically um creates like a a
full-fledged um reconciliation of an
invoice system. Uh this is a technical
diagram but just to mention the the
project's called uh it's an open source
project I did. It's called blind clicks.
Uh it basically blindly clicks until it
can't find the click and then the moment
it doesn't find the click it basically
wakes up the dragon which is an LLM with
a project from Microsoft called
omniparsser that takes a screenshot
understands in what xy coordinate what
icon is there. Can I click it? Can I
mouse over it? This is a drop down and
so on and so forth. and then the LLM
understands it and then it create
creates a new sequence and that sequence
is executed inside this docker container
that's running the entire UI very simple
fun project I did imagine if big
companies like that if they start
building something like this it changes
the way uh accounting is done and when I
did this this post went viral that dudes
found it and then they invited me they
were so nice and that of HQ and I give
this presentation uh to that of uh
200ish engineers in the room. Very
pleasing experience.
Uh in EU, we need to kind of like it's a
little bit controversial. What I'm going
to say is kind of like think about these
guys like North American guys like Satya
and end of uh 24 said like SAS is dead.
Microsoft is a SAS company and Satia is
saying like SAS is dead because they're
seeing this this new wave coming in.
Mark Zuckerberg says there will be
billions of AI agents and that's we we
need to kind of get to that ambitious
level and true almost every single one
of us will have an AI agent and and
that's the most convenient way to kind
of augment ourselves put it out there in
the world scroll feed give us a summary
when we are taking a shower or compose a
LinkedIn uh post when we we're driving
these things that I am currently doing
I'm a nerd I'm super computer geek I
want to build things but this is going
to come to the masses and it's
inevitable. It's coming. Our Nvidia CEO
gives this beautiful
diagram that we are right now here
before hitting that physical world. We
are going to build these agentic AI and
this arena is just starting and
Salesforce CEO says this is bigger than
the internet. It is because it's a
tectonic shift. It's it's the way
muscle was uh kind of like productized
or commoditized with machineries. Now
intelligence is commoditized. So a Lisa
that takes a salary of a€,000 per month
a PhD plus IQ never sleeps is going to
take our jobs. And that's how big it is.
It's bigger than the internet.
So a quick question from you guys.
Do you believe 2026 will be this the the
breakthrough or the changing year for AI
agents especially especially in Germany
or in Europe considering all the
regulations GDPR EU AI act and
everything else. We have some EO act
slides coming in anyone
>> please.
>> I believe it might well be the case. Um,
I have hit upon madness earlier this
year and I was having this like wow
moment and um I thought
>> So you're optimistic it's going to it's
going to be there hopefully. Yeah.
>> Yep. It's going to be there.
>> Yeah. Because ROI is explosively
positive.
>> It's the same as an Uber killed the taxi
company.
>> Exactly. Exactly. It's it's coming.
Anyone else wants to please?
>> Technically technically definitely but I
see problems with itself ad
yes advisor and I see many
management
>> mentality mindset
>> fear and I think the biggest problem
especially in Germany is that people are
not ready
>> yes
>> I've been developing with GPS and agents
since years
>> and I know what is possible but the
problem
adoption, change management. Exactly.
>> Is the biggest issue,
>> right?
>> And if you try to transport it, you
always see a war.
>> Exactly. This is this
>> we can and I think there will be some
companies that will adapt the technology
and use it and companies that don't will
get
>> right. Absolutely. Absolut I I am 100%
with you. If we do not shift our
mindset, therefore the previous slide
was about these North American leaders.
Now, if we do not shift our mindset to
kind of like let's take the risk, there
is a 7.5 million penalty that we could
end up paying, but the ROI is probably
20 million. So, let's take the risk.
Let's let's go and implement this
despite the fact that this might not be
100% compliant. And who knows that these
big players like Mr. AI and Alfala and
those dudes are also not compliant. And
so I am the CEO of this 500 employee
company. I know that I'm going to either
go bankrupt in two years or I'm going to
take this risk and and go build
something at Gentech and automate
something that will give me 20 million
euros every year and I'd risk 7.5
million of that. So I think that
mentality needs to be developed more.
I I want to talk about EUA act. I'm not
a lawyer or a liar or neither of them. I
want to talk about it because it's
important. I think everyone needs to
have at least one or two slides about
this this act. The first question I ask
myself is that why is it there? I have
two kids, one and a half years old and
six and a half years old. They're going
to grow up here. Uh I want a safe place
for them. I wouldn't go in a in a
country not having
traffic lights.
And if I ask myself, what does EU act
for? It's just like traffic lights. It's
a regulation that prevents harm to human
beings and it protects protects our
framework called my EU50
which is a very simple framework that um
that is built I think when EU was built
that protects one of the 50 elements
that are in these six pillars human
dignity freedom democracy equality
rule of law and human rights and any of
those are threatened by any AI
application then you need to go through
one of these four layers that are
unacceptable in EU that's kind of like
literally no go or it has high risk
therefore you need to go through a very
high uh degree of regulations or it has
limited risk therefore the number of
regulations you need to fulfill can be
limited or it's also called transparency
risk and there is minimal risk this low
hanging fruit like literally things that
you can do with email filters this is
minimal risk things that you can do with
deep fake this is limited risk for
example an AI recommendation system
doing the wrong recommendations for
example for a child
Iris can be anything to do with
healthcare or credit scoring system if
there is based in data and certain
people do not get a good credit scoring
for their mortgage loan and so
And prohibited is anything social
scoring or real time biometric
surveillance or predictive policing. For
example,
if John Doe is someone who has been
committing the same traffic uh violation
throughout multiple years and we can
write a model that can predict with 96%
um accuracy that John Doe will do
another like go through another uh red
light next Tuesday at around 3 p.m.
which AI can do if it gets enough data.
And why don't we send uh a pace like a
like a ticket a week in advance to John
there and say like you can do it or
please pay this in advance. This is
productive policing. It's it's something
that's prohibited though it's really
black mirror-ish idea but uh it's
prohibited in Germany. So now it's the
time to build. I didn't want it just to
be a talk talk. Although I'm not very
good in talk. I am this engineer who
likes dark basement and dark mode to
code. So I'm going to build something in
front of you and I will show you things
that normal engineering time will take
forever. Just by show of hands who is an
engineer in this software engineer in
this room. Okay. So therefore I will
keep the numbers the the the vocabulary
to non-technical
uh caliber. Uh I want to show you guys
that this technology NA10 has
revolutionized this this world of
software development. I've been building
software as a full stack in total 23
years. Before that I was a desktop
engineer. For those of you who knows
what Notepad++ is or what Visual Basics
6 means, I am someone from that time and
I've been continuously building. Now,
what I'm going to show you is probably I
can't explain how hard it is to build
this thing that you're going to see in
the old school way of building things.
But when I keep building things, I will
try to explain it at least with words
that how many hours would it take for a
normal software engineer to build such a
thing. All right. So, I'm going to go to
NA10 and explain a few things uh as I
go. So anything is this um very simple
orchestration layer where you can build
things and and those things are called
workflows and any workflow can have
certain nodes as a tiny node can be
doing certain specific uh thing for
example here I'm going to add a
so-called chat node and this chat node
does one thing it allows you to do chat
when you do chat it triggers the
workflow So you can see here there's a
trigger. If I say hi, it just puts a
check mark there. That means like this
node was executed. It's done. It's
executed. Now I want to add an AI agent
to this. How do I do this? Very simple.
I put an AI agent node.
And there we go. An AI agent is here.
Now let's take a step back and do a very
simple definition of what is an AI
agent. Anyone wants to participate
before I go on and describe it?
What's an AI agent if you want to
describe it?
>> Anyone please?
>> Agent has a goal for example.
>> A goal.
>> Yeah.
>> Goal actions. Uh those are the terms I'm
I'm hearing. Goal actions
>> um autonom
>> autonomous aut um agency.
That's the term. Okay. Anyone else? What
is an AI agent? Give me some terms and
then I'll put the definition there. Yes.
>> Maybe humanike.
>> Humanike. I like it. Somebody else uh
used the term non-human intelligence. I
really like that term as well. Somebody
else defined it as uh uh alien
intelligence or something like that.
Yeah. Anyone else? What's an AI agent?
>> You mean just like something
large?
>> An LLM could be a part of this. An AI
agent.
Nobody talked about tools or tasks. So
an AI agent can also do have access to
our tools or execute tasks.
The simplest definition of an AI agent
that I can come up with is I s I show it
to you guys earlier but a little bit
more technical could be something like
this. An AI agent is a software that
have access to your tools, understands
your natural language, and it can
perform tasks on your behalf just like
your digital coworker. I really want to
coin this digital coworker thing. So if
you and see this this definition
contains certain keywords that I really
want you guys to kind of like
remember it when you go home especially
this digital coworker
this digital coworker is is is
inevitable. It's it's coming. This the
work is going to be disrupted first
before even the robots come and then
disrupt the muscle part. The
intelligence part will be disrupted
first and the most important part is
performing tasks. So this performing
tasks these digital beings or these
digital co-workers will perform tasks on
what? On the actual tools that you give
access to them on your tools. So like
these little tools that you give access
to them be it your Gmail be it your Jera
or uh Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams
or whatever it's going to disrupt that
and the beauty of it is that it is going
to go with this natural language.
One of the 90 languages that these LLMs
today speak
this can change. It's it's amazing like
it it will increase the number of
languages.
All right. So now I have this AI agent
in here. It needs an LLM. I'm going to
give it an open AI LLM access. That's
nice. Now if I type here something,
you'll see what happens. So I'm going to
type
hi. This time it's going to respond
something to me. You see here it says
how can I assist you today. This is
basically a chat GPT integration. I just
click click click and then everything is
done. The term that I really liked about
anything is Lego.
An is like a Lego is like smaller
pieces. You put them together and then
it works.
So now there is a concept in um
in programming you might have heard is
called cache caching. Look how easy it
is to implement a cache layer here. Why
do I need this cache layer? I'll explain
it here. So I'm going to use this
workflow to do this. Hi, my name is
Amal.
See what happens. This workflow
says
this thing. Hi Amal, nice to meet you.
How can I assist you today? The next
question I'm going to ask is what is my
name? If I ask this, look what happens.
Previously it says I amal. Now it says I
don't have access to your name. What is
the problem here? There is a big
technological problem here that every
single time that we send this traffic
this this request to Chad GPT we
basically send plain first fresh
information now somehow we need to cache
it somewhere we need to save it
somewhere now I'm running on NA10 cloud
and N10 cloud is super scalable you can
imagine what $200 million can buy you
the recent funding of NA10.
Now if I click on simple memory, click
on simple memory, click on back, those
were just three clicks I did. It
literally added a cache layer. Now for
those of you who are a programmer and
you know what cache invalidation means,
it's one of the complicated things in
computer science.
And this just implemented a cache layer
for me. Now if I go back and do the
following,
I say, "Hi, my name is Amal." It goes
and stores it here in this tiny database
on the servers of NAN. And if I say,
"What is my name?" Now, it goes and
pulls it back from that. And then it now
have access to my name. And this is just
a tiny example of how cool this
technology is and how cool the 1.1
million lines of code that was stacked
upon each other through human brain. At
the time there was no vibe coding. There
was no AI agent code generation. It has
happened throughout six years
almost 15,000 so-called pull requests. A
pull request is a bunch of code that is
get together in very close collaboration
of multiple developers
and then it ends up being building such
products. I will demonstrate one small
thing here just to to make the point on
how cool this product is. And I I'm in
Germany. I can't really brag about this
but when I go to other countries I brag
about this German perfection or or made
in Germany thing. It's uh it's like
this. For example, here I'm adding a
so-called trigger. And when you add a
trigger, look what happens. If I want to
add a Google Drive trigger
for the workflow that I just
demonstrated earlier, I need to have a
Google Drive trigger like this, right?
If I add a Google Drive trigger,
do you see a tiny little feature here
that must have gone through a feature
request, a product owner worked on it, a
programmer implemented it is this thing.
This little dude is collapsed by default
because it's a trigger time. You don't
you can't add an action here. So it's a
very tiny little uh example of this. But
there are others like this. So for
example, if I add this particular
workflow that I have created here that
enabled me to do this thing, you'll see
what happens.
I add this invoices folder
and I look for files to be created. And
when I execute this, it goes and pulls
out all the metadata of that newly
updated invoice. Not the most
complicated thing. The the thing that
really sparked this idea of German
perfection I want to keep talking about
is coming in two steps. If I now want to
download this file, I download it.
That's fine. Um, and I want to download
it from this particular ID that's
sitting somewhere
in here. I will need to find it. Here
you go. It's just coming in a few
seconds. That perfection, that Lego
blocks kind of like clicking together.
And and that could have not been
possible without going through all that
evolution of that product across six
years. So here I'm adding a mistral AI
integration because now I have this this
particular file with me on this canvas
which is literally a file that can be
downloaded. It's a PDF file with 556 KBs
and it's available. You can see it just
downloaded and if I open it it's exactly
that PDF file that I scanned earlier.
Now if I integrate this with Mr. AI. Mr.
AI is a French company that's building
LLMs and also their document extractor
is very nice. Now, see, I opened it. I
don't do anything. It just clicks. Why?
Because the
programmer sitting in Berlin said,
"We're going to call our our field
data." And the programmer sitting in
Paris said, "We're going to call it
data." So, that German perfection like
literally everything clips together. I
don't change anything. And then I
execute this. It just goes on and and
then it basically uh when you put the
credentials it basically executes and
then it just works. I was giving this
advanced example advanced course earlier
um and and showing them if something
fails because you provided an incorrect
account how can you trace it? Therefore,
that error that you saw is from there.
Now, it literally three steps and I'm
send downloading some data from Google
Drive, uploading it somewhere else and
Mr. AI is giving me back all this
information. This level of
product development with without having
such a tool would take me forever. Leave
alone the fact that I could literally
demo it here. This this would have been
almost impossible almost.
I want to make sure that I have enough
time left for the Q&As's.
But if I want to conclude this
presentation, I would like to conclude
it with this that from
this basics agents basics
uh to summarizing emails and everything
uh where we are going next is is
amazing. It's going to be this agentic
workflows, enterprise focused wrap-ups.
And the bottom line is that AI agents
are no longer experimental. It's it's
there to stay and and we are going to
see in 2026
major shift towards adopting AI and and
NAN is going to be this technology that
people adopt and then automate things
with AI
and this the the the areas where AI
agents fail are very important to also
know. the ambiguity in your inputs. This
geigo garbage in garbage out, the
missing data or context, the
elucination. Nathan recently announced
something called guard rails to kind of
prevent AI agents to elucinate and to
prevent doing things that they're not
supposed to do, evaluations a couple of
months ago. These little tiny builds and
whistles around agentic workflows are
going to change the way it's going to
do. But the lesson to learn here is that
success of an AI agent is not just an AI
automation. You put it in the while it's
going to work. The human in the loop is
very important and also the clear
constraints and instructions.
Thank you so much. Any questions?
Aemal Sayer, CTO and co-founder of Avanai (n8n expert partners) gave a keynote on how to use AI agents in a business context on the first edition of n8n Business Lab in Wiesbaden, Germany. In his talk, Aemal shares several examples on how AI agents can help with day-to-day business tasks and gives a live demo on an AI agent he built, using n8n, to process process travel receipts for accounting. Finally, he gives an overview of different tools to build AI agents and discusses regulations that are starting to come up around AI.
