By now, “testing” AI is no longer an option for Kenyan enterprises; it is a survival metric. As the Ai Kenya Industry Breakfast 3.0 approaches, the focus has shifted from simple automation to Agentic AI – systems that don’t just chat, but execute.
What is Agentic AI? The Trillion-Shilling Question
The core theme of this year’s convening, “AI-Powered Operational Efficiency,” centres on Agentic AI. Unlike the Generative AI of 2024, AI Agents in 2026 are designed to automate complex, multi-step workflows in banking, logistics, and insurance.
- Workflow Integration: These agents reconcile financial records and manage supply chains autonomously.
- Sector Impact: Early adopters in Kenya’s manufacturing and retail sectors report measurable gains in speed and accuracy.
Computer Vision: The New Eyes of Kenyan Insurance
For Kenya’s asset-heavy industries – transport, mobility, and insurance – Computer Vision is the standout technology for 2026. Attendees will explore how image-based AI provides consistent, real-time assessment of vehicles and physical assets, slashing the time required for claims processing and risk mitigation.
The Powerhouse Lineup: Architects of eCitizen and Beyond
The event features a “Who’s Who” of the technical and strategic leaders shaping the region:
| Leader | Strategic Value |
| James Ayugi (Webmasters Kenya) | Insights from the eCitizen architect on scaling AI for millions. |
| Somet Kipchilat (Quanta 360) | Technical depth on AI-driven vehicle and asset assessments. |
| Diana Wariara (FMC Advocates) | Compliance and legal readiness for the 2026 regulatory landscape. |
| Mbugua Njihia (Gruppo Potente) | Venture-building and the business outcomes of AI investment. |
The 2026 Mandate: Operational Readiness
“Enterprise AI Happens Here,” says Alfred Ongere, CEO of Ai Kenya. The breakfast aims to solve the “preparedness gap” – where only 13% of organisations feel fully ready to manage AI risks. Attendees will leave with a clear strategy for aligning AI with business outcomes for the remainder of 2026.
