Workshop & Hackathon Day - Monday, 5th October 2026 [CET]

13:20 Workshop M: Build It Live: Production-Ready AI Agents for Your Contact Centre

In this workshop, you won't just hear about AI agents – you'll build one. AI agents were supposed to change the face of CX, but many deployments have not gone past pilot. This workshop provides an honest look at the state of agentic AI today: what's working, what's failing, and why. Through learnings from real deployments and a live hands-on build, gain practical tools and firsthand experience deploying voice-native, production-ready AI agents that hold up in the real world.
Learning Objectives
  • Evaluate the current state of AI agent adoption in contact centres – separating proven outcomes from stalled pilots
  • Identify the operational and technical factors that determine whether an AI agent reaches production or stalls
  • Walk through a live build of a voice-native AI agent designed for enterprise contact centre deployment
Key Takeaways
  • A practical framework for assessing AI agent readiness across your contact centre use cases
  • Firsthand experience building a production-ready AI agent – voice-native, reliable, and fast to deploy
  • A shortlist of the most common pitfalls and the decisions that separate operators who ship from those who stall
