What you'll learn

Turn a customer brief into acceptance criteria

Read an e-bike maker's brief and its legacy-ERP pain like an FDE, then write the questions the pilot will be judged on.

Choose the knowledge layer with evidence

Watch RAG and an LLM Wiki race on 224 questions over 699 documents, and why the most accurate one doesn't ship.

Give the agent hands, then score it

Connect ERP tools over MCP, run real purchasing tasks before and after, and show a scorecard the customer trusts.

Why this topic matters

AI demos are easy. Pilots a customer accepts are not. In this free live session, Dr. Rajat Dandekar takes one company, an e-bike maker on a legacy ERP, from a vague brief to a working AI pilot: acceptance criteria, a measured choice between RAG and an LLM Wiki, an agent that acts through tools, and an honest scorecard. It is the loop forward deployed engineers run at every client, and a preview of the AI FDE bootcamp starting the next morning.
