🎙️ Speaker: Somnath Biswas – Head of Conversational Products & Parsing @ Stepstone Group

💡 About the Event:
As enterprises increasingly adopt LLMs, the journey from prototype to production introduces complex trade-offs and design decisions.
In this session, Somnath Biswas will explore real-world lessons from deploying LLM-powered assistants at scale, sharing what works — and what doesn’t — when building chat-based enterprise experiences.

The talk will cover practical considerations, including:
✅ Intent-based vs. LLM-first approaches
✅ Single-agent vs. multi-agent architectures
✅ Balancing model size, latency, cost, and performance
✅ Prompt design, memory, and fallback strategies
✅ Testing and evaluation in production environments

You’ll gain insights into how these choices affect user experience, technical effort, and long-term maintainability — critical factors when building enterprise-grade AI systems.
