A Keynote by Christoph Holz Sets the Tone for Your Event

When software becomes a team player

AI agents — from the tool you operate to the employee you commission

Software always waited for the click. AI agents no longer wait: they plan, decide, reach for tools themselves and handle multi-step tasks without supervision. What changes isn't the way you operate them, but their role — the user becomes a commissioner, the software becomes a digital workforce. Christoph Holz shows which routines you can already delegate today, which leadership and control questions this raises, and what ultimately stays human. Three levers, five thought experiments. Whoever understands how, wins.

Three Thoughts from the Talk

It's not about replacing people, but about filling positions for which there are no people left.

Human strength isn't calculating faster than the machine — it's knowing what's worth calculating.

The best team of the future is mixed: one human, one agent—and neither does what the other does better.

What Your Audience Takes Away from This Talk

Through vivid metaphors and examples, your guests grasp what technology can do — and where its limits lie.

You understand what sets AI agents apart from chatbots

and where the real leverage lies.

You spot the routine that can be delegated

within your own organization that can already be handed over to agents today.

You know the leadership questions

that need to be settled before software acts on its own — rights, control, responsibility.

Man and Machine — an unbeatable team

How working alongside cognitive robots and AI gives work back its humanity.
