Title: AI Agents: Beyond the Chatbot
Abstract:
Everyone is building “AI agents” right now. But many of them are simply chatbots with a to-do list. A true AI agent that can plan, use tools, remember context, and execute multi-step tasks reliably is a very different piece of engineering.
This session will break down where that line really is and how to build systems that operate on the right side of it.
What You’ll Learn
✅ Agent vs. Chatbot — Understand the architectural difference between planning, memory and autonomous tool use versus a scripted response loop.
✅ The Modern Agent Stack — Explore where LangGraph, CrewAI and AutoGen fit into real-world agentic systems.
✅ Agentic RAG — Learn how agents can ground their actions in real data and context.
✅ AgentOps & Reliability — Understand how to trace, evaluate and improve agents once they are deployed.
✅ Multi-Agent Systems — See how specialised agents can collaborate on complex tasks.
✅ Guardrails That Work — Explore human-in-the-loop checkpoints that make autonomous systems safer and more reliable.
Who This Is For
Developers, data/ML professionals, product professionals and technical practitioners who have moved beyond the basics of “what is an AI agent” and want to understand how agentic systems are actually built and where they can break.
Format
60-minute live session featuring a practical walkthrough of real agent architecture, followed by an open Q&A. This is designed as a working session rather than a presentation filled with buzzwords, so come prepared with your questions.
