Let's build an AI agent
2025 is the year of agents, but what does that mean? Rather than spend time going over the theory, let's walk through the process of building an agent live. You'll see how large language models, functions, and open source tools fit together to bring to life an agent over the course of the talk. We'll build out an agent that starts simple and graduates to a multi-agent model, with different components managing and performing tasks. You'll leave with a good idea of what you need to know to start building your own powerful agents.
