Building AI Agents that work is no small feat.

In Agents in Production [Podcast Limited Series] - Episode Six, Paul van der Boor and Sean Kenny share how they scaled AI across 100+ companies with Toqan—a tool born from a Slack experiment and grown into a powerful productivity platform. From driving adoption and building super users to envisioning AI employees of the future, this conversation cuts through the hype and gets into what it really takes to make AI work in the enterprise.


Guest speakers:

Paul van der Boor - VP AI at Prosus Group

Hosted by Demetrios, MLOps.community is a space for honest, meandering talks about the real work of making artificial intelligence systems actually work. This isn't about hype or theoretical papers; it's about the messy, practical, and often surprising journey of taking models from a notebook into a live environment. You'll hear from engineers and practitioners who are in the trenches, discussing the tools, the frustrations, and the occasional breakthroughs that define the day-to-day. The conversations are deliberately relaxed, covering everything from traditional machine learning pipelines to the new world of large language models and even the intangible "vibes" of team culture and process. Each episode peels back a layer on what "production" really means, whether that involves deploying a predictive service, managing an agentic system, or maintaining reliability as everything scales. Tuning into this podcast feels like grabbing a coffee with colleagues who aren't afraid to dig into the technical nitty-gritty while keeping the tone conversational and accessible. It's for anyone who builds, manages, or is just curious about the operational backbone that allows AI to deliver value, offering a grounded perspective often missing from the broader conversation.
