A frequent and sought-after speaker at community events and technical meetups.
Agentic AI applications need more than an LLM, they need reliable data, memory, security, and guardrails. In this session Shadab will show how PostgreSQL pgvector, full-text search, JSONB, row-level security, constraints, transactions, and MCP provides the scaffolding for an autonomous agent.
He will explore how PostgreSQL retrieves trusted facts, records every step, and safely controls business actions for autonomous AI agents. A live demo will follow the session, “Find the refund policy for this order and open a support case,” while exposing the PostgreSQL features and SQL executed at each stage.
