Supercharging the frontline: Injecting AI skills into frontline workflows
Session
Much of the AI buzz centers around knowledge workers; however, 80% of the global workforce operates on the frontline. At Zebra, we are obsessed with empowering these frontline workers to perform their day-to-day tasks efficiently and safely.
We concentrate on identifying the micro-moments in workflows that can be vastly improved by AI. But even with great models and capabilities, a massive challenge remains: how do you build and deploy these rapidly at scale so they can be seamlessly "snapped" into both legacy and new workflows.
This talk provides an under-the-hood look into the approach and architecture Zebra has created to solve this integration problem on our Android devices, making agentic AI consumption a reality for enterprise customers.
