EXAMPLE TOPIC 01
AI Credit Risk & Financial Due Diligence Agent
Automate 8 hours of analyst work into a 90-second AI-generated credit report
Financial services firms spend 4–8 hours per client manually aggregating filings, news, and sanctions data to assess credit risk. Build an AI agent that does this end-to-end — ingesting multiple data sources, reasoning over them, generating a scored risk report with full audit trail, and flagging anomalies for human review. Think: an AI credit analyst that never sleeps and always shows its working.
→ Complete credit risk score (0–100) + due diligence report in under 90 seconds, with every data point cited and a human override interface.

Predictive Maintenance & AI Anomaly Detection
Detect equipment failure before it happens — and explain what to do in plain English
Manufacturing and transportation companies lose millions every year to unplanned downtime. Build a GenAI-powered system that ingests real-time IoT sensor data — temperature, vibration, pressure — detects anomalies using ML models, then uses a language model to explain what the anomaly means, how serious it is, and what maintenance action to take. Move from "something broke" to "this will break in 48 hours, here's why, here's what to do."
→ Live sensor feed → AI detects anomaly → ranks severity → generates plain-English recommendation → routes to engineer for approval. Demonstrate at least one correctly predicted failure.

Unified Knowledge Base & AI Customer Service Agent
Build the brain first, then the agent — one reusable platform every company in every industry needs
Every company has knowledge scattered across 10+ systems and no way to search across all of it. Build a unified RAG knowledge pipeline that ingests all data sources — documents, tickets, emails, runbooks — makes the knowledge instantly searchable, then deploys it as an AI Customer Service agent that reads support requests, drafts accurate responses with cited sources, scores urgency, and routes to the right human. Build once, deploy everywhere.
→ Live demo: support request arrives → AI finds answer in unified knowledge base → drafts cited response → scores urgency → routes to approver. End-to-end in under 30 seconds.

EXAMPLE TOPIC 03
AI-Powered Software Delivery Pipeline
A team of AI agents that writes code, generates tests, and reviews quality — 40% faster than your current team
Software delivery is Ness's core business. Build a multi-agent pipeline that handles key SDLC stages autonomously: one agent writes the code, another generates unit tests, a third reviews quality — all coordinated by an orchestrator. When tests fail, the system self-heals: it diagnoses the root cause and generates a patch. Requirement in → PR-ready code out.
→ End-to-end demo: requirement text in → clean, tested, reviewed PR diff out. Must demonstrate ≥40% cycle time reduction vs. the manual baseline.

Autonomous Production Monitoring & Incident Resolution Agent
An AI that watches your production systems 24/7, triages real failures, and proposes fixes before the client calls
Production systems generate thousands of alerts per day — most are noise. Build an AI that filters the noise, detects real incidents, consults a runbook knowledge base, and proposes a remediation step with a confidence score. A human approves before anything executes. This is the AMS pitch that wins multi-year managed services contracts.
→ Live demo: inject a failure → AI detects → triages → proposes fix with confidence score → human approves → executes. Full audit log throughout.

AI Security Vulnerability Detection & Code Remediation Agent
From security scan to PR-ready fix — automatically. No more developers drowning in false positives
Security scanners detect vulnerabilities but stop at the report. Developers spend hours triaging noise and manually fixing what remains. Build an AI agent that reads the scan output, finds the vulnerable code, generates a targeted fix, validates it against the existing test suite, and delivers a PR-ready patch with a plain-English explanation. Cover at least 5 common vulnerability types.
→ Security scan report in → AI locates vulnerability → generates fix → validates against tests → developer reviews PR-ready patch. Target: ≥75% fix accuracy.
