Additional Speaker Details
Using publicly available information we constructed an analysis to help you get a feel for this speaker before deciding to attend their session.
Tanmai Gopal co-created Hasura's open-source GraphQL Engine (~32k GitHub stars) and now leads PromptQL, which targets why enterprise AI fails in production: plausible-but-wrong answers on real, messy data. His writing and talks center on deterministic, explainable AI architectures and on encoding living organizational knowledge (his 'the semantic layer is dead, long live the wiki' thesis), making his session relevant for teams building trustworthy AI agents over fragmented enterprise data.
