What a Forward Deployed Engineer Does When Your Pilot Stalls

Across healthcare, retail, manufacturing and financial services, AI pilots clear the demo and then sit for a quarter. A Leena AI forward deployed engineer walks through the first 45 days: what gets built, what gets fixed, and what you own at the end.

What you'll walk away with

Gartner expects 70% of enterprises to abandon AI agents built by vendor engineers by 2028, because the engagement was set up wrong, not because the technology failed. This session is the other 30%: what a forward deployed engineer does in six weeks, and what you'll be asked to bring so it holds after they leave.

Where pilots actually stall - security review, systems that don't connect, content nobody owns, exceptions
What a forward deployed engineer is - and the three ways it isn't consulting renamed
The 45 days, week by week - what gets built, fixed and handed over
The day-45 test - your admin changes production without the engineer touching it
What you'll be asked to bring - four things that decide whether 45 days happens
20 minutes, then 5 of open Q&A - no demo, no pitch
