Kyndryl Agentic Framework (KAF): Accelerating Data Estate Modernization with AI-Powered Automation

Organizations are under pressure to modernize legacy data estates while reducing risk, cost, and delivery timelines. Learn how the Kyndryl Agentic Framework (KAF) provides a repeatable and scalable approach for accelerating data modernization initiatives, including business case development, TCO analysis, data warehouse migration, ETL modernization, and reporting transformation to cloud-native data platforms.

By leveraging AI-powered accelerators across assessment, dependency analysis, code conversion, testing, optimization, and governance, KAF automates key migration activities and improves consistency throughout the modernization lifecycle. This session demonstrates the framework, delivery methodology, governance model, and agentic accelerators that enable organizations to accelerate migration outcomes, reduce technical debt, lower delivery risk, and establish a future-ready foundation for analytics, data-driven decision making, and AI innovation.

SUSTAIN: Building Environmentally-Friendly AI

Artificial Intelligence is powerful, but it’s also energy-intensive. Every AI query consumes compute power, contributing to environmental impact. SUSTAIN is an environmentally-friendly, token-optimized AI wrapper designed to reduce compute costs and increase efficiency.
By intelligently filtering irrelevant words from user prompts, SUSTAIN minimizes token usage, reducing energy consumption while maintaining high-quality AI-driven results. The result is faster responses, lower API costs, and a reduced carbon footprint.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- How AI token usage impacts energy consumption
- The mechanics of SUSTAIN’s Token Optimization Pipeline
- Techniques to optimize AI queries for efficiency
- A live demonstration of SUSTAIN in action
- The benefits of deploying AI applications on Azure for sustainability
Join us to learn how developers, enterprises, and researchers can leverage AI responsibly, without sacrificing performance.
