WHAT WE COVER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

RITA CASTILLO — VP of Design, Platform & AI

The clearest explainer of Agentic AI you'll find. Rita walks through the full evolution from scripted automation to agentic systems, what makes agentic different, and how the orchestrator-and-agent hierarchy works at ServiceNow.

AMRUTHA RAMESH — Visiting Researcher, ServiceNow

Amrutha built Agent Ada — a real AI agent designed to turn enterprise data into actionable insights. She explains how Ada understands your goal, adapts to who's asking, and delivers analysis your team can actually use.

ISSAM LARADJI & ANITHA RAGHAVAN — Research Scientist & Product Manager, ServiceNow

How do you know if your AI's insights are trustworthy? Issam and Anitha built InsightBench — a benchmark that uses AI to evaluate AI — to answer exactly that question.
