AI Agents x Structured Data

Most breakthroughs in AI have focused on text, images, and code. But the real backbone of the global economy? It’s far less glamorous and far more powerful: tabular data.

​Every company runs on it. Spreadsheets, databases, messy CSVs. The operational truth of entire organizations lives there. Yet, it remains one of the most underexplored frontiers in modern AI.

​At the same time, AI agents are evolving fast. They can browse the web, write code, and draft emails, but they still struggle with the one thing that actually matters in production: structured data.

​Agents working with structured data face two poor options: feed raw tables into the context window and suffer from context bloat, or generate and execute code with error and security risks.

​This becomes a real blocker for production workflows. This evening, we are going to discuss:

• ​How do you give agents reliable access to structured data without context pollution?
• ​What does a production-grade architecture look like when agents need to reason over structured data in real time?
• ​How do foundation models for structured data change the agentic stack?
• ​How do platforms like Databricks allow you to integrate agents into your data warehouse?

​We invited Dael Williamson, CTO EMEA of Databricks, to share his views on these challenges. We also will be joined by Berlin-based Langdock, showing a hands-on masterclass of building agentic systems.

​If you’re an engineer, machine learning expert, or technical leader who is building agents, expect technical conversations, best-practice approaches to data-intensive workflows, and a room full of people solving the same problems you are.
