I’ll not only give you the right arguments for driving growth but also show you how to do it right. Because there is a way for it to almost manage itself!

Beware and behold — the answer to your localization troubles is near!

🚀 The talk highlights how chat-based experiences can better support users and dives into practical lessons from deploying LLM-powered assistants at scale.

Key trade-offs explored include defined intent vs. LLM-first approaches, single vs. multi-agent architectures, and balancing model size, latency, cost, and performance. It also covers decisions around prompt design, memory use, fallback mechanisms, and testing strategies. These design choices shape user experience, build effort, and risks.
