AI LA x Gridspace: What It Means To Be Agentic

Wednesday, Sept 3 | 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM | DTLA

Agentic AI systems operate with limited human oversight. Think of a “super-charged copilot” that can book flights, plan your weekend, or draft follow-up emails without being told step-by-step. But “agents” can mean many things, and the hype often obscures their practical limits. Complimentary pizza, canned cocktails, beer, and NA options—courtesy of Gridspace.
