Build and scale real-time AI for the agentic web

The internet is changing faster than your architecture can. Is your business ready?

For three decades, the web was built for humans who click, browse, and buy. That era is ending. Autonomous AI agents now initiate requests, negotiate transactions, and act on behalf of users at machine speed. Engagement is shifting from human to agentic as the primary pattern, and the infrastructure underneath it has to change just as fast.

The center of gravity in AI is moving from training to inference. The one-time work of building a model is no longer where the spend goes. The recurring work of running it in production is — for every user and agent. Inference is now the majority of AI compute, and the fastest-growing workload is real-time, distributed inference: the voice, vision, chat, and agentic interactions that have to respond within milliseconds of the user. This is where customer demand, investment, and opportunity now concentrate.

Centralised, training-era infrastructure cannot serve this. Real-time, agentic AI demands something different:

• Compute at the point of interaction, not in a distant region
• Distributed inference instead of centralised processing
• Real-time response with no cold starts for agentic and interactive workloads
• Global scale without standing up an MLOps team to run the clusters

Join us at the Akamai Cloud and AI Exchange London to see how the agentic web is reshaping how business gets done, and how Akamai Cloud lets you build, run, and scale the real-time AI applications behind it. You will leave understanding how the internet is changing, where the inference opportunity is heading, and why winning in this era takes a partner with specialised AI infrastructure built for real-time scale.
