AI Agents in Practice: Building Operating Systems & Running Companies

Two real-world perspectives on building AI operating systems and running businesses with AI agents in production.
About this Event

From AI Agents to AI-Driven Businesses

AI agents are no longer just tools for individual tasks. They’re becoming part of how businesses operate, make decisions, and scale.

But moving from experimentation to real-world implementation raises bigger questions: What should we automate? Where do humans remain essential? And how do we build systems we can actually trust?

In this edition of GenAI Community Valencia, we’ll explore what happens when AI agents move from supporting workflows to becoming part of the way companies run.

Two talks. Two perspectives. One shared question: how far can we take AI-driven operations, and what does it take to make them work?



🎤 From AI Agents to AI Operating Systems

Mavi Carrasco Growth & Operations Leader | Former Senior Growth Manager at Eventbrite

Most teams already use AI tools, but the way work gets done hasn’t fundamentally changed. Individual prompts, isolated automations and manual reporting still dominate everyday operations.

Mavi will explore the next step: building systems where agents, data and people work together within the same processes, with clear ownership of every decision.

Drawing from real implementations in her own business, she’ll share how she structures agent-driven workflows, including scheduled monitoring of business metrics and AI-generated analysis validated against actual data.

She’ll explain what she chose to automate, what she deliberately kept manual, where human approval remains essential, and what she’s learned from keeping these systems running over time.

Expect a practical framework for identifying the first business process worth handing to an agent, the questions to ask before building, and a realistic look at what sustainable AI operations require.


About Mavi

Mavi Carrasco is a Growth & Operations Leader with 16 years of experience in global operations, including at Eventbrite, where she focused on translating strategy into effective business processes.

Originally from Argentina and based in València, she advises founders and digital businesses through her consulting practice, where she has implemented AI agents and automated monitoring systems to support everyday operations.

Her work focuses on decision ownership, measurable outcomes and finding the right balance between automation and human judgment.



🎤 Buy the Traction, Build the Agents: Acquiring Companies and Running Them with AI

Ricardo Rodríguez Co-founder at Moonshot Partners & Sekit AI

Building software has never been cheaper. Building customer trust, traction and a sustainable business still takes years.

So, instead of starting from zero, what if you acquired an established software company and used AI agents to transform how it operates and grows?

Ricardo will share three years of hands-on experience doing exactly that, from the initial idea to operating two acquired software companies with AI.

He’ll unpack what acquiring a small software business actually involves, why AI agents only became effective once processes were clearly defined, and how their approach evolved over time.

From connecting business data and building a company knowledge system that distinguishes facts from AI-generated assumptions, to deploying support agents with human checkpoints and coding agents working in parallel, Ricardo will explore what it takes to make AI part of everyday business operations.

Expect real lessons, what broke along the way, and the critical questions to ask before acquiring a company and transitioning a significant part of its operations to AI.


About Ricardo

Ricardo Rodríguez is co-founder of Sekit AI and Moonshot Partners, and former CTO of Sunlight, which he helped lead through its exit.

Together with his partners at Saturn, he acquires established software businesses and operates them using AI agents in production.

With over 20 years of software experience, a Master’s in AI and a PhD in Information Engineering, Ricardo has led teams of more than 60 people across multiple continents.

His current focus is transforming AI agents into reliable systems that support everyday business operations.
