AI explained so companies can make better decisions.

Sebastian Podesser speaks about generative AI, digital employees, and AI agents in day-to-day business.

The focus is not the next tool list. It is the question of how AI can take on operational tasks today: in support, finance, sales, operations, and internal knowledge processes.

01 What the content is about

AI has arrived in many companies. Often, it has not yet reached the work where it would actually reduce the load.

People collect information, answer recurring queries, compare data, and prepare decisions. Much of that work is important. Not all of it has to be manual.

Sebastian talks about exactly this gap: How do AI demos become productive systems? What distinguishes digital employees from chatbots? What tasks can AI agents meaningfully take on today?

04 Why this perspective is relevant

Less tool show. More orientation.

Sebastian combines the practical implementation of AI systems at thirdmind with experience from lectures for different corporate and event contexts.

This creates a different kind of AI talk. It is not about making AI bigger than it is. It is about finding its useful place inside the organization.

  • what generative AI can do today.

  • where AI agents are realistic.

  • which tasks are suitable for companies.

  • why context, data, and rights matter.

  • where human responsibility must remain.

07 Frequently asked questions

What is usually asked before an inquiry.

Who will give the keynotes?

Sebastian Podesser, co-founder and CEO of thirdmind, gives the keynote.

Are there fixed lengths for keynotes?

The length depends on the event.

Which events is the keynote suitable for?

It is suitable for corporate events, associations, universities, and specialist events where AI needs to be explained clearly and realistically.

Which topics are suitable for a keynote?

Suitable topics include generative AI, AI agents, digital employees, use-case selection, controlled adoption, and productive AI in day-to-day business.

Is this technical or strategic?

Both are possible. For managers, the focus is more on classification and decision-making. For departments, the keynote can be closer to specific tasks and processes.

Can the keynote be combined with a workshop?

Yes. The keynote can provide orientation. A workshop can then look at specific processes.
