Scaling AI: Why Strategy Matters 🚀 Creating value with AI isn’t just about adopting new tools. To make AI work for your business, you need a clear plan that aligns AI projects with your company’s goals and resources. 🎯AI can solve unique challenges across industries: analyzing medical images for better diagnoses in healthcare or optimizing inventory in retail through predictive analytics. But no two businesses are the same. Tailoring AI applications to your goals is what creates lasting impact. Without a strategy, companies often struggle with fragmented efforts, pilot projects that don’t scale, or a mismatch between AI tools and business needs. A well-thought-out approach connects AI investments to clear priorities, ensuring each project contributes to long-term success. 👉Curious about how strategic planning can turn AI projects into real results? Discover practical tips and examples in our latest blog. Read more in our article. The link is in the comments.

🎯 Last Friday, appliedAI Initiative GmbH and SAP co-hosted our first partner meetup focused on AI Agents at the impressive new SAP Munich Labs Campus in Garching, Munich. The event highlighted the evolving landscape of AI agents, highlighting opportunities and challenges across industries, with a spotlight on software engineering applications. It united perspectives on technology, applications, and research in an engaging full-day program for appliedAI partners and SAP colleagues. 🎓 Distinguished speakers from SAP, NVIDIA, Siemens, Linde, Technische Universität München, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and appliedAI Initiative GmbH shared insights about AI Agent definitions, architectures, technologies, industrial use cases, and future perspectives like AI Agents in Software Development and Embodied AI. AI Agents are still in their early stages, with autonomous and multi-agent systems requiring further development and raising many open research questions: 1. Dr. Paul Yu-Chun Chang and Mingyang Ma opened the event with a talk on AI Agent definitions, maturity levels (L1-L5), and the current state of the technology. 2. Claire Helffer-de Soyres provided an great overview on GenAI stacks like NeMo Framework, NIMs, and NIM Agent blueprints. 3. Prof. Chunyang Chen and Dr. Philipp Wicke provided insightful examples on agentic software testing and future perspectives on Embodied AI. Several companies are already leveraging agentic process automation. For example: 💡 Dr. Christian Karaschewitz introduced SAP Joule Agents for automation in business workflows. 🔎 Armin Hadzalic presented the Siemens Industrial Copilot. 🚀 Feras Alhothali outlined Linde's AI vision that spans from Automation Building Blocks to Future Agentic AI.
