Tech Talk: How to Make Your Data AI-Ready
Speaker: Jacob Prall (Snowflake)
Abstract: Most AI initiatives fail because they're built on data that isn't ready for the demands of AI workloads. The result? Poor results, wasted effort, and broken trust. How do you know when your data is AI-ready, and how do you make it ready?
In this webinar, we will introduce the AI-Ready Data Framework, an open standard that defines AI-readiness and provides a suite of agent Skills to help you assess your data, identify gaps, and apply remediations to make your data ready for RAG, agents, and training.

Key takeaways:

• How to tell if your AI problems are really data problems: A practical diagnostic lens for spotting readiness gaps behind hallucinations, weak retrieval, and more.
• How to set the right bar for each workload: Compare what RAG, agents, and model training each require so your team can prioritize the right investments.
• How to close the gap: Learn practical approaches teams use to address data-readiness gaps once they are identified.

Important: Register on the event website is required for admission.

Join Oracle and AICamp for an immersive, hands on workshop learning how to build reliable agents with LangChain and Oracle AI Database.

This hands-on workshop introduces AI agents and shows how to build agents that go beyond chat to act reliably on real data. Participants will learn how agents plan and execute work, why stateless AI fails in production, and how persistent memory solves the forgetting problem. Using Oracle AI Database, the workshop demonstrates how to implement a durable agent memory core with semantic vector search, governance, and auditability.

Agenda:
- 5:30pm~6:00pm: Checkin, food and networking
- 6:00pm~6:15pm: Welcome and Community update
- 6:15pm~7:30pm: Tech talks, hands-on labs and Q&A
- 7:30pm~8:30pm: Open discussion and Closing.

We’ll go end-to-end:

• · Define what Agent Memory is (and how it differs from just “chat history”)
• · Build practical memory abstractions (short-term working memory, semantic memory, episodic memory, and lightweight procedural memory)
• · Implement ingestion, storage, retrieval, summarization, and “managed forgetting” patterns
• · Integrate Tavily for real-time internet lookups, and use Oracle AI Database as the agent’s Memory Core for unified retrieval and persistence
• · Apply context engineering, prompt engineering, and memory engineering techniques to reduce drift, improve grounding, and keep the agent consistent across turns

You’ll leave with a working reference implementation, plus a set of reusable patterns for building scalable agent scaffolding and evaluation harnesses focused on reliability and believability.

Who should attend:
This hands-on workshop is designed for AI developers, AI engineers, AI practitioners, python developers
