Ravi Chandu Ummadisetti, Toyota, Generative AI Architect
Kordel France Toyota, AI Architect

Toyota applies the Multi-Agentic framework, powered by Generative AI, to revolutionize car manufacturing, battery production, paint design, and anti-corrosion strategies. In manufacturing, AI-driven agents collaborate to optimize production lines. For battery production, Generative AI designs efficient layouts and predicts performance, enhancing durability and sustainability. In paint design, AI generates custom finishes with superior aesthetics and durability, while simulations ensure precision and reduce waste. Anti-corrosion efforts leverage AI to develop advanced coatings tailored to environmental and material conditions, extending vehicle lifespan and minimizing environmental impact.

PRO Session: Agentic GraphRAG: AI’s Logical Edge

Wednesday May 28, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PDT

AI DevSummit Main Stage

Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

AI models are getting tasked to do increasingly complex and industry specific tasks where different retrieval approaches provide distinct advantages in accuracy, explainability, and cost to execute. GraphRAG retrieval models have become a powerful tool to solve domain specific problems where answers require logical reasoning and correlation that can be aided by graph relationships and proximity algorithms. We will demonstrate how an agent architecture combining RAG and GraphRAG retrieval patterns can bridge the gap in data analysis, strategic planning, and retrieval to solve complex domain specific problems.

PRO Session: The Future of AI-Driven Discovery: Can We Build Recommendation System That Inspire, Not Just Retain?

Wednesday May 28, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PDT

AI DevSummit Main Stage

Jiahui (Sophia) Bai, Meta, Data Scientist Lead

This talk explores the evolving role of AI-powered recommendation systems in shaping content discovery, moving beyond engagement-driven optimization to fostering meaningful exploration. Today’s recommendation algorithms are finely tuned to maximize user retention, often reinforcing content bubbles and favoring already-popular creators. While effective for keeping users engaged, this approach can limit exposure to new ideas, diverse voices, and serendipitous discovery—key elements that make digital platforms more enriching and dynamic.

We begin by defining the core challenges of AI-driven content recommendations: noisy engagement signals, over-reliance on short-term behavioral data, and algorithmic bias toward dominant content and creators. We explore how improving signal quality—by distinguishing between passive consumption and genuine interest—can lead to more personalized yet diverse recommendations. Next, we tackle the issue of democratizing reach, discussing algorithmic strategies that ensure small and emerging creators have a fair chance to break through without compromising user satisfaction.

The session will also cover rethinking success metrics for recommendation systems, moving beyond click-through rates and watch time to metrics that measure content diversity, long-term engagement, and user well-being. Finally, we will discuss the future of AI-driven discovery, including the role of Generative AI, hybrid human-AI curation, and serendipity-focused models in creating recommendation systems that inspire, inform, and surprise users—rather than just retaining them.

KEYNOTE (AI): Hasura -- Path Towards 100% Accurate & Repeatable Data Agents for AI

Wednesday May 28, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PDT

AI DevSummit Main Stage

Praveen Durairaju, Hasura, Field CTO

Achieving 100% accuracy in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is critical for AI agents handling complex workflows. But most RAG architectures fail due to goal drift, incomplete reasoning, and multi-step errors.
In this session, we will cover:
Why traditional RAG and tool-calling approaches break down in real-world AI workflows.
Agentic query planning: A structured approach to eliminate errors and improve reliability.
Benchmarking results: The path to achieve 100% accuracy where existing approaches fall short, backed by benchmarks.
Engineering strategies for verifiable, repeatable AI workflows.
We’ll walk through real-world examples and show how structured planning and separate execution fixes common RAG failures.

Live Demo: See how PromptQL ensures accurate, repeatable AI actions in production environments.
