Der Vortrag beleuchtet damit eine wichtige Grundlage für echten Mehrwert durch generative AI. - AI Agents Everywhere – How Do You Manage Them? – Vincent Rijnbeek, Regional Vice President Germany bei Dataiku, spricht darüber, wie Unternehmen AI Agents zentral verwalten, transparent steuern und skalierbar governieren können – unabhängig davon, wo die einzelnen Agenten entwickelt wurden. - Ein dritter Speaker-Slot ist vorgesehen und wird noch bekannt gegeben.

Hosted by ProductTank Frankfurt

Explore how GenAI changes product teams, not only their output, on 18 November 2026 at the Westhafentower in Frankfurt. GenAI can help teams generate more ideas, prototypes and code, but faster task completion does not automatically produce better products or healthier organisations. In this ProductTank Frankfurt talk, Prof. Dr. Lutz Göcke will move beyond the usual AI productivity narrative to examine what happens when AI shifts from being a tool to acting more like a teammate. The session will explore how that shift can reshape autonomy, ownership, trust and accountability across the product lifecycle. Expect a candid look at the potential fault lines: shrinking decision-making freedom, blurred boundaries between product management, design and engineering, concern about being replaced, and uncertainty over responsibility when “the AI did it”. What to expect - A practical view of where AI creates genuine leverage, and where it can quietly weaken a team - An exclusive preview of unpublished data from a live study on AI and product work in 2030 - Six bold theses designed to provoke debate rather than passive agreement - A talk, study preview, Q&A and group discussion - Informal networking over pizza and drinks The evening is particularly relevant to product managers, engineering leads and product leaders already encountering the organisational side effects of an “AI-first” approach. No specific technical experience level is stated; the focus is on product work, leadership and organisational design rather than a hands-on coding workshop. Schedule and venue Doors open at 18:30 for arrival and networking, followed by the talk, study preview and discussion from 19:00. Pizza, drinks and open conversations begin at 20:15. The Meetup listing runs until 20:30, while the published agenda notes an official end at 21:00. The event takes place at R3ASON GmbH & Vepa, Westhafentower, Westhafenplatz 1, Frankfurt am Main. Vepa is hosting the community at the venue, while R3ASON, an AI Business Studio, is providing pizza and drinks. Product development and consulting company codecentric AG is also listed as a sponsor. Places are limited. Register for the ProductTank Frankfurt event.
