Talk 1: PostgreSQL as a Scaffolding for Agentic AI Apps (Shadab Mohammad from Oracle)
30-mins
Abstract :
Agentic AI applications need more than an LLM, they need reliable data, memory, security, and guardrails. In this session Shadab will show how PostgreSQL pgvector, full-text search, JSONB, row-level security, constraints, transactions, and MCP provide the scaffolding for an autonomous agent.

He will explore how PostgreSQL retrieves trusted facts, records every step, and safely controls business actions for autonomous AI agents. A live demo will follow the request, “Find the refund policy for this order and open a support case,” while exposing the PostgreSQL features and SQL executed at each stage.

Talk2: To be announced

Venue Sponsor: Oracle Australia Pty Ltd.
