WORKSHOP

Intro to Agentic AI: Your Future Strategy for Business Growth

Bella Khaja

Founder, Genie Pro

In today’s fast-evolving business environment, AI is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. In this workshop, Bella Khaja, Founder of Genie Pro, will introduce Agentic AI, a form of artificial intelligence that goes beyond simple automation and acts independently to optimise processes, improve decision-making, and scale businesses efficiently.

Through case studies and examples, she will demonstrate how Agentic AI is transforming industries—from marketing and sales automation to customer service and operations. Bella will also share how SMEs can integrate AI, outlining simple and actionable steps to get started with low-cost AI solutions. You will leave this workshop with a clear roadmap for leveraging AI to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and drive business growth.
