To strengthen its industrial impact and bridge research with real-world applications, GPT-Lab is establishing an Industrial Advisory Board.
The board will serve as a strategic forum to align GPT-Lab’s AI research with industry needs, foster collaboration, and guide the lab’s direction toward practical innovation.
To steer the operations of this new board, GPT-Lab has nominated Tomas Herda as the Chairman of the Industrial Advisory Board.
Tomas Herda is an Agile Coach at the AI Center of Excellence within Group IT at Austrian Post and leads the AI and Agile conference initiative. He holds a Master’s degree in Applied Informatics from the Slovak University of Technology. His expertise focuses on integrating Generative AI and Agile practices within software engineering. Tomas actively contributes through R&D on multi-agent AI systems, academic publications, and talks on AI and prompting. He is the author of Prompting Blueprints — an open-source playbook on GitHub featuring reusable prompt patterns, AI tool tutorials, and practical guides — and recently served as Workshop Chair for “AI and Agile Software Development: From Frustration to Success” at XP2025.
GPT-Lab looks forward to working with Tomas in shaping stronger industry connections and advancing human–AI collaboration.
