Manish
Kavuturi
Generative AI Engineer
FedEx
Manish Kavuturi is a Generative AI Engineer at FedEx, where he works on building enterprise-grade AI systems for logistics intelligence. He develops production-ready GenAI platforms using LLMs, RAG architectures, and agentic workflows to enable natural language querying, document automation, and intelligent search across large-scale operational data. His work supports improved shipment visibility, root-cause analysis, and faster customer query resolution in complex logistics environments. With over six years of experience across AI engineering and backend development roles at companies including FedEx, Conduent, and Dell Technologies, Manish has built scalable data pipelines, FastAPI microservices, and cloud-native AI systems deployed on Azure and AWS. He specialises in combining retrieval systems, MLOps practices, and observability tooling to deliver reliable, high-impact AI solutions in production.

Panel | From GenAI to autonomous workflows: how teams are evolving their AI systems
Many teams start with contained GenAI pilots: narrow use cases, limited integrations, and clear human oversight. Once those same systems are expected to power larger workflows, the assumptions behind how the generative layer was designed stop holding up. This session looks at what shifts inside the generative stack as organisations move from experiments to workflow‑level impact. It focuses on the points where prompting, retrieval, evaluation, and model orchestration start to strain as systems become more connected and their outputs drive real work. What this session will cover: - Where early GenAI pilots and “feature‑level” architectures begin to fall short once they’re asked to support end‑to‑end workflows - How prompting and retrieval design change when outputs become dependencies between steps instead of one‑off results - What evaluation needs to look like when generated outputs trigger actions, not just acceptable answers - How teams are reshaping their generative stack before introducing genuinely autonomous or agentic behaviour
