Dagen AI Brings Data Integrity for the AI Era to Pittsburgh’s Agentic Road Show

PITTSBURGH, PA, October 13, 2026 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — An AI agent that reasons perfectly over the wrong data still gives the wrong answer, and it gives it with confidence. As companies move AI agents from pilots into daily work, the integrity of the data underneath them has become the deciding factor in whether those agents can be trusted.

Dagen AI, the data control plane for the AI era, will make that case at The Agentic Road Show on Thursday, October 22, 2026, in the Connolly Ballroom at Alumni Hall, University of Pittsburgh. The full-day executive seminar is produced by DM Radio and TinyTechGuides in partnership with Pitt HAIL, the University of Pittsburgh’s Hub for AI and Data Science Leadership. Dagen is a sponsor of the event.

Most large organizations keep several copies of the same data, built by different teams at different times. Only some are correct, and only some are current. Today the person who knows the difference is usually a senior data engineer. AI agents cannot ask that person, so they guess.

Dagen replaces the guess with knowledge. It builds and maintains a living knowledge base of a company’s data estate: where each dataset lives, what it means, where it came from, how fresh it is and who is allowed to use it. When an agent asks a question, Dagen points it to the right data, confirms that the data is current and permitted, and returns an answer that can be traced back to its source. When the right data doesn’t exist yet, Dagen drafts the missing pipeline as a proposed task and waits for a person to approve it.

“Everyone is focused on how smart the agents are. The harder question is whether the data they’re reading is right,” said Sami Akbay, co-founder and CEO of Dagen AI. “Correct, current, relevant data isn’t a nice-to-have for agentic AI. It’s the foundation. Dagen gives every agent the judgment about data that your best engineer has, at the scale agents need.”

Data integrity is where Dagen has already proven itself. On a recent core banking migration, Dagen reconciled more than 7.85 billion records, covering 100% of the tables it migrated.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see a live walkthrough of the Dagen data control plane at the event. Interested attendees are encouraged to approach the Dagen booth at the event for more information. More details for the event are available at https://agenticroadshow.com.

About Dagen

Dagen AI is the data control plane for the agent era, built for enterprises that want AI agents in production without giving up control of their data. Dagen builds a live map of the data estate, including lineage, dependencies, and PII matched against access policy. Dagen uses that map to build, run, and govern pipelines, so every agent request is answered only with data that is allowed, fresh, and traceable.

Teams set how far Dagen acts on its own across guided, semi-autonomous, and autonomous modes, and Dagen runs inside the enterprise’s infrastructure, in the cloud, hybrid, or fully air-gapped on-premises. Dagen works with the engines enterprises already own, including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift, and is available on AWS Marketplace.
