🗓 Day 1: AI+ Multimodal Day
Here’s why this event is a can’t miss edition of Multimodality adventures:
Panel 1: The Agentic OS — Seeing, Speaking, Doing
10:30 – 11:30 AM
As workflows become increasingly multimodal, the next generation of AI agents must do more than process text—they need to see, speak, and act. This panel explores how agentic systems capture human context across vision, voice, and interaction, and how these capabilities can turn fragmented signals into seamless productivity. Founders at the forefront of multimodal tools will share their perspectives how to build an agentic OS.
Weimin W., Head of Multimodal @ Character.ai
(#1 AI social platform)
Wen Sang, COO @ Genspark.ai

($47m raised, most deployed enterprise web agent)
Karan Vaidya, Cofounder @ Composio
($29m raised, building the backbone of AI agents)
Panel 2: Multimodal Databases
11:30 – 12:20 PM
Text was never enough. The world is full of video, audio, and images—but how do you store, index, and retrieve them at scale? A new generation of multimodal databases is emerging to answer that challenge. This session dives into the infrastructure layer that powers multimodal AI. What does curation look like when data spans pixels and waveforms? How are founders balancing latency, storage, and accuracy? And what’s the roadmap for building the database that can truly scale beyond text?
Change She, CEO @ LanceDB
($30m raised, Open source multimodal database)
Shawn Shen, CEO @ Memories.ai

Panel 3: AI-Native Entertainment & Content Creation
2:00 – 2:50 PM
If everyone can create instantly, what happens to culture? From video-gen tools to remixable social feeds, AI is turning audiences into creators. This panel gathers founders at the heart of the shift. What does an AI-native studio look like? How do platforms balance creativity with authenticity? And how are users already bending generative tools into new forms of entertainment? Expect to hear how multimodality is not just powering content—but inventing entirely new cultural formats.

Panel 4: Intelligence for Physical AI
2:50 – 3:40 PM
What does AI look like when it leaves the screen? Think cars that see, wearables that listen, robots that move. Multimodal intelligence is becoming embodied. But what’s required to run these models at the edge, in real time, with limited compute? This panel explores the intersection of hardware and AI: from sensors to interfaces to embodied agents. Which industries—automotive, robotics, consumer devices—will adopt first? And what does a world of physical AI mean for how humans live alongside machines?
