In this 30-minute deep dive, Alexis Chevallot (Agentic AI expert & CEO of Capto) reveals what’s actually working with Agentic AI right now — especially in finance and enterprise operations.
Forget the hype. Discover how Agentic AI is moving from simple chatbots to real “AI employees” that handle reporting, invoicing, compliance, tax, and multi-system workflows — delivering massive ROI while working alongside human teams. Alexis shares real production use cases, the biggest implementation challenges, scalability lessons (including cutting AI costs by 100x), and exactly how leaders should manage Agentic AI to make it a strategic partner rather than a disappointment.
Key topics covered:
What Agentic AI really is (and how it’s different from generative AI & chatbots)
Live finance success stories with proven ROI
Major challenges: reliability, hallucinations, data security & scalability
How to turn generic AI Agents into accurate AI Employees
Why most AI projects fail — and how to avoid them
