Test Phenom AI Agents for Hiring, Development and Retention at HR’s Biggest Fall Events

Phenom Offers Attendees Immersive Experience Using Live Agentic Use Cases for Their Own Industries, Roles and Workflows

PHILADELPHIA, September 2, 2026 – Phenom, the leader in applied AI built to redesign work operations for hiring faster, developing better and retaining longer, today announced it is putting AI agents into the hands of HR, IT and executive leaders during the industry’s most influential conferences this fall.

Gartner estimates that only about 130 of the thousands of vendors marketing agentic AI are real, naming the rest "agent washing," or rebranding existing assistants, automation and chatbots without substantial agentic capability. Executives and HR leaders are being asked to buy agents they have never seen run.

Phenom is bringing the agents, use cases and domain experts to every major industry event this fall to show real AI in production. Its immersive experience lets attendees interact with AI agents live, testing capabilities against contextual hiring, development and retention scenarios instead of taking claims at face value. Attendees can share their own use cases so Phenom experts can map them to the precise intersection of industry, function, role, geography and workflow that determines which agents to activate and where human judgment belongs.

In addition to the new Agent Experience Center, attendees will be able to explore Phenom’s signature AI & Automation Lab, testing 75+ use cases for AI and automation across all industries and talent lifecycle stages. Companies that want to see agents live with their data and workflows can have Phenom come on-site for an AI Bootcamp to show their business leaders AI in action.

“Anyone can put ‘AI agent’ on a slide. This fall, we’re putting them in attendees’ hands instead, live across the industry’s biggest HR events,” said Kumar Ananthanarayana, VP & GM, Product Management at Phenom. “Everyone will be able to see exactly what AI, agents and automation can do for their own job, industry and workflows.”
