Practical AI in Banking & Fintech: From Hype to Production

AI is rapidly reshaping financial services, but the distance between impressive demos and systems that actually work in production is still significant. Czech banks and fintechs are among the most active players in CEE when it comes to closing this gap.

From deploying LLM-based customer assistants to redesigning core customer experiences, they are moving beyond experimentation and towards AI that delivers measurable value in everyday banking.

Expect an open and practical discussion about what is already working in production today, where current AI approaches still fail, and what the next wave of banking AI will look like once the hype settles.

The event is free to attend and includes a panel discussion followed by a networking breakfast.

Practical AI in Banking & Fintech – From Hype to Production

A high-level panel discussion on the future of AI in banking UX is bringing together leaders shaping real-world transformation across Central Europe’s financial sector. They will explore three key areas:

  • What is already in production, focusing on concrete AI use cases and measurable impact.
  • Where challenges arise, including limits of customer-facing LLMs, data quality, legacy systems, and the gap between pilots and real deployment.
  • What lies ahead, looking at the next 12–24 months and the growing role of agentic AI.

András, CEO and Founder at Ergomania guides the discussion toward practical insights for product and design teams, focusing on how AI is changing feature development, shaping customer experience, and forcing product organizations to adapt.
