First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) recently hosted a virtual AI Agentathon in collaboration with Presight, with support from Microsoft.

The event brought together internal and external participants to develop AI-based solutions for real business challenges across the bank.

The Agentathon was part of FAB’s strategy to expand the use of artificial intelligence and integrate advanced technologies into its operations.

The one-day innovation sprint involved business stakeholders, technical experts, and global technology partners working to address predefined business challenges.

A joint evaluation panel, including representatives from all participating organisations, assessed the final outputs.

Four cross-functional teams, composed of FAB business and technology staff alongside experts from Microsoft and Presight, collaborated throughout the day to design and present AI solutions.

Concepts were evaluated on their potential impact, feasibility, and alignment with the bank’s business priorities.

AI is a core pillar of FAB’s strategy and a key enabler of its evolution into a data-driven organisation.

It emphasises scaling AI in a structured and responsible manner, focusing on use cases that support decision-making, improve efficiency, and enhance the client experience.

FAB expects the concepts developed during the session to guide future AI initiatives and enterprise-wide use cases. These concepts will help advance the bank’s broader digital transformation agenda.

Through events such as the Agentathon, FAB aims to integrate AI more widely across its operations. This approach enables faster solution development and contributes to improved operational outcomes and decision-making.

The programme also reinforces its position as a regional participant in AI-driven banking innovation.
