This event is free of charge and only takes place on-site! Language of the Meetup: ENGLISH 🇬🇧 Talk #1: Call center audio analytics: Hours of sensitive customer calls, turned into insights - with sovereign and private AI [Georg Heiler, Danilo Labanca] The most valuable data in a telco is the data you are least free to send anywhere. A recorded customer call carries a voice fingerprint - biometric data under GDPR - and that holds for your evaluation set just as much as for production. We show how sovereign AI unlocks use cases an external API may never touch, and why the same setup turned out cheaper. Open weights, Ray, Dagster and Metaxy - and an honest look at where the GPUs should live for operational AI. Talk #2: The Agent, Your Business Need [Martin Mayr, Adrian Dimaano] More businesses than ever explore the use of agentic workflows to automate manual tasks. One common use case is the integration into company data and knowledge landscape. This integration comes with a few challenges: How should one reflect company polices? How can one connect different software solutions to the agent and how can one make sure to reflect and isolate workflows. In this talk we are going to explore possible answers to each question and present a practical example, how one can integrate agentic workflows to support the company in day-to-day business. — 📅 September 24th, 2026, from 17:30 📍 Location: weXelerate Auditorium, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna 🚇 Approach: U1/U4 to Schwedenplatz, entrance via Taborstraße or Praterstraße.
