AI Salon KL – AI Beyond Chatbots: Embedded, Real-world AI Systems
🚀 The AI conversation is evolving.
Beyond copilots and chat interfaces, a new wave of builders is embedding AI directly into industrial systems, healthcare workflows, hardware, edge devices, and operational infrastructure.
Join us for the next edition of AI Salon KL as we explore what happens when AI leaves the demo stage and enters the real world.
This session brings together researchers, founders, and operators building practical AI systems that interact with physical environments, legacy infrastructure, and mission-critical workflows.
Expect an evening of sharp technical conversations, founder insights, and meaningful connections with Kuala Lumpur’s growing AI ecosystem.
🎤 Panel Session
We’re excited to host a panel featuring researchers and founders building AI systems beyond traditional chatbot experiences:
-
Hafsa SyedaResearcher exploring AI-driven wearable technologies and intelligent sensing systems.
-
Ts. David Romero GarciaSaving the forest with technology from our Forest Intelligence Platform.
-
Qaiyyum HakimiBuilding ZeptoStack – enabling industrial teams to deploy reliable AI agents locally and integrate with real-world infrastructure.
-
Haniyan FarhanResearching counterfactual inference and multi-agent LLM systems for emergency department triage workflows.
🎤 Startup / Builder Demo & Pitch Opportunities
We’ll also be opening a limited number of slots for founders, researchers, and builders to showcase their AI projects during the event.
If you’re building something interesting — whether it’s infrastructure, agents, robotics, healthcare AI, embedded systems, developer tools, or applied AI products — let us know in the registration form.
Selected teams will get the opportunity to demo their work to the community.
