From Answers to Action: JITO Singapore's June 2026 GenAI Meetup
JITO Monthly Meetup · 16 June 2026 · Annalakshmi Cafe, OUE Downtown Gallery
Every business owner is quietly asking the same thing: what do I actually do with all this AI? On 16 June, Dr. Piyush Mehta gave the JITO Singapore community a straight answer in his talk, How to Leverage GenAI & Technology for Business Growth.
His core point: the technology finally became usable. Costs collapsed from thousands to cents. It speaks plain language. It plugs into the tools you already own — email, Excel, forms, databases. And the newest systems don't just answer, they act. That's the leap from GenAI (thinks and creates) to Agentic AI (plans and does the whole workflow).
Reassuringly, he insisted the fundamentals don't change. Technology just accelerates business in one of three directions: capture new market, reduce cost, or improve quality. If a use case doesn't do one of those — skip it.
The highlight was three live agents running on everyday tools. An RFQ agent read the request, matched the top ten from a database, chased follow-ups, and logged everything. A payment-reminder agent turned an invoice sheet into ready-to-send Gmail drafts. A lead-nurturing agent turned every form fill into a personalised journey with the right brochure attached.
Key Takeaways
- This is the wave — early adopters win.
- The core doesn't change — you accelerate what already works.
- Aim at one of three gains — market, cost, or quality.
- Start with one workflow — automate your most painful process, then scale from the win.
The evening closed the way JITO evenings do — updates, dinner and easy networking. The message? Don't just understand AI. Pick one painful workflow and start.
Thank you, Dr. Piyush Mehta — and everyone who joined. See you at the next meetup.
