Everyone is building agents. Far fewer have gotten them past the pilot and into the hands of real users inside a large organisation, where the constraints are different and the room for error is smaller. This edition of The Agentic AI Club brings together speakers who have done that, sharing first-hand what it took to move agentic AI from a working prototype into the enterprise. ## **What You'll Take Away** * What it takes to move an agent past the pilot and into everyday use across a large organisation * Where enterprise realities reshape the build: security reviews, legacy systems, procurement, and sign-off * Which design choices survived production, and which ones fell over * A sharper sense of where enterprise agentic AI is paying off right now ## **Agenda** 4:00 PM — Doors open · Registration 4:10 PM — Welcome by The Agentic AI Club 4:15 PM — Speaker sessions 5:45 PM till late — Community Mixers ## **Speakers** **Speakers** **Ian JianLiang Low — Head, Prudential AI Lab** Ian leads Prudential's global AI Lab, building AI and generative AI products and driving their adoption across the group. He was previously with the DBS Innovation Group. **​Annie An — Senior Solutions Architect, AWS** Annie helps enterprises across ASEAN design and deploy production-grade GenAI, LLM, and agentic systems, spanning financial services, telco, insurance, and legal, with a focus on responsible AI and real-world impact. *\*All speakers appear in their personal capacity. Views shared are their own and do not represent the official positions of their organisations.* ## **Who Should Attend** * AI engineers, technical leads, and ML practitioners building agentic systems * Product and engineering leaders shipping AI-first products inside larger organisations * Enterprise innovation, strategy, and digital transformation leads * Founders and operators deploying agentic AI into enterprises * Anyone focused on getting AI agents from prototype into production at scale ## **About The Agentic AI Club** A space for people shaping how AI gets built and shipped. We bring together engineers, founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders working at the frontlines of agentic AI in Singapore.

**ANNOUNCEMENT: [Venue change] SQ Collective has generously offered to host the venue for this session for free. It is only appropriate that we allocate some capacity to them (via a Luma event). This is a chance for folks in the AI builder community to participate in our group’s philosophy practice, and for us to broaden our audience within that community. If you have already signed up via Meetup, there is no need to double-register through Luma, should the Luma event be made public.** “You insist that there is something that a machine can't do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that.” —John von Neumann, in a talk at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, 1948 “Everything is computer!” – Donald J. Trump, sometime in 2025 What is computation? These days, it seems more provocative to stipulate what *isn’t* computation. For instance, to suggest that the brain can be functionally anything other than a kind of computer is suspect in the current technological zeitgeist. It seems self-evident that any system of information processing to achieve some output can be explicated in terms of computation. At the foundation of this conviction is the Church-Turing thesis, which both gave a logical definition to and circumscribed the bounds of computation in the form of the Universal Turing Machine, “a most general formulation of machine” (Alan Newell 1980). The idea that the Universal Turing Machine is an abstract design template that can encompass any kind of information-processing system has led some to extend the scope of the thesis to physics itself: “any finite physical system can be simulated by Universal Turing Machines” (David Deutsch 1985). What do we make of such ideas? Instead of fumbling in the accreted fog of the present, a quiet philosophical dialectic was already underway at the time Alan Turing demonstrated Universal Turing Machines in his seminal paper *On Computable Numbers* in 1936. Ludwig Wittgenstein was a contemporary of Turing’s, and made a number of keen observations in the years that followed\*. In particular, Wittgenstein anticipated readings of the Church-Turing thesis such as the above as resulting from an uncritical acceptance of some inferences within Turing’s demonstration. In this session, we will recount the Church-Turing thesis, its various interpretations, the Wittgensteinian response, and what it all means. Join us to discuss and re-examine the notion of computation, in the hopes of coming to a clearer understanding of it. The format of this session will be a presentation followed by an open-ended discussion. *Compiled in Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics. By L. Wittgenstein

Women Devs Singapore is excited to collaborate with Zenika for an insightful evening exploring the intersection of leadership, product thinking, and AI with our guest speaker, Jolyn Chuah. As AI becomes part of everyday work, the questions that matter most are still deeply human: ✨ Are we creating environments where people can do their best work? ✨ Are we solving real problems or simply shipping solutions? ✨ Are we approaching change with curiosity rather than fear? In this session, Jolyn will share practical frameworks and real-world experiences from product management, systems thinking, and data analytics to help leaders and builders navigate an increasingly AI-driven landscape while keeping people at the centre. You'll leave with three powerful questions to reflect on: 🔹 Lead — Am I creating conditions where people can do their best work? 🔹 Build — Am I solving real problems or just shipping solutions? 🔹 Adapt — Am I engaging with change with curiosity or with fear? Whether you're a developer, product professional, team lead, or simply curious about the future of work, this conversation is for you. 📅 Join us for an evening of honest insights, practical takeaways, and meaningful discussions.

**ANNOUNCEMENT – Registration via this [link](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc) only.** Moving AI from prototype to a reliable production often raises questions about optimisation, scalability and compliance. At this STACK Meetup [AI], we strip away the hype to offer an exclusive look under the hood of PlatformAI, GovTech’s developer-first platform built to scale AI capabilities reliably for the Government. Take a peek into how PlatformAI provides an enterprise-ready platform layer to govern and orchestrate large-scale AI model and capability deployments. Our speakers will share strategies on unifying secure model access, balancing costs using Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) versus Provisioned Throughput, and leveraging managed multimodal pipelines – Vision, Document, and Audio – without the overhead of maintaining fragmented infrastructure. Walk away with fresh insights on how GovTech is democratising AI deployment at scale, whilst ensuring proper governance like prompt security, throughput optimisation, and architectural guardrails to address modern scaling bottlenecks. **Secure your spot for STACK Meetup [AI] today: [https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc)**.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.
