VIDEO: Agentic AI in the Wild with Dennis Oleksyuk

Dennis Oleksyuk, CTO and co-founder of AirCon, has developed an AI agent that autonomously manages 80% of air freight quotes while freight forwarders are asleep, highlighting the inefficacy of many agentic frameworks in production settings. During a livestream discussion, Oleksyuk emphasized that popular frameworks are often unsuitable for production due to their focus on rapid prototyping rather than reliability. He advocates for using raw LLM APIs for greater control and adaptability, especially when dealing with the complexities and corner cases inherent in real-world business processes. Oleksyuk's AI solution not only automates quoting but also manages bookings across multiple providers, enabling freight forwarders to generate revenue effortlessly. The key to success, he argues, lies in deeply understanding the domain to effectively manage exceptions rather than relying on trendy frameworks. This approach has allowed AirCon to maintain a competitive edge by cataloging and solving numerous corner cases, ultimately transforming a traditionally manual process into an efficient, automated system.
