💡 Key Takeaway

Incredible event! Every startup is building AI agents. Learned about token management and its critical role in knowledge management. The future is about extracting knowledge from collaborators into specialized agents — fighting context exhaustion while improving operations across organizations. Excited to apply these insights to my consulting services!
