Vertical AI Agents: Unlocking Industry-Specific Intelligence
As AI agents evolve, their true power lies not in generalization but in verticalization—tailoring AI to deeply understand and transform industry-specific workflows. In my keynote, I will explore how vertical AI agents are reshaping industries by embedding intelligence directly into core operations. Drawing from my work in AI-driven therapy for speech & language disorders (Ogma) and AI-powered insurance claims automation (InsureAI), I will showcase how specialized agents can enhance efficiency, accessibility, and scalability.
From revolutionizing clinical workflows to automating claims processing, vertical AI agents are moving beyond generic automation to domain expertise—augmenting professionals, improving outcomes, and unlocking new economic models. But scaling these agents requires more than just fine-tuned models; it demands robust data pipelines, industry-aligned design, and human-in-the-loop intelligence.
This session will provide a framework for building and deploying vertical AI agents across sectors—demonstrating how AI’s next frontier is not just intelligence, but specialization.
