Building Autonomous Growth Agents: Lessons from an ex-DeepMind GenAI Lead

About this session

Marketing AI has mostly stopped at copilots: useful for isolated tasks, but weak at turning insight into action. In this talk, Praneet Dutta, founder of Pomo and former DeepMind GenAI research tech lead, will show why the next leap is autonomous growth systems: AI agents that can research markets, generate strategy, create campaigns, launch experiments, and learn from real-world feedback. Drawing from his work on foundation models at DeepMind and now building Pomo, he will walk through the architecture behind an agentic marketing system, including creative generation, decision intelligence, feedback loops, and human-in-the-loop controls. Attendees will learn what it actually takes to move from AI demos to production systems that drive measurable growth. This talk is for founders, operators, and AI practitioners who want a practical view of where autonomous marketing is going and how to build it safely.
