About this session
Apollo GraphQL CEO Matt DeBergalis and American Airlines Senior Principal Architect Pragadeesh Prakasam came together at AI Agent Conference to explore how one of the world's largest airlines built the unified API architecture now powering AI agents in production.
Discover how American Airlines' federated graph — spanning customer, loyalty, reservations, and check-in across web, mobile, and kiosk — became the foundation for AI systems that can reason and act across operational domains in real time, and what it means for your agentic roadmap.
