Stop Doing. Start Orchestrating: Building Effective AI Agents
Description
LLMs (Large Language Models) are no longer a novelty, they can chat, analyze, summarize, and generate content. But how do you build a real system that works for you, not just answers your questions?
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to build autonomous AI Agents, and more importantly, how to think like one: identify a problem, break it down into distinct roles, and orchestrate a team of LLMs to execute a complex, intelligent process.
We’ll explore the difference between “an LLM that replies” vs. “an Agent that works,” and guide you through the process of building your own multi-agent system that actually gets work done.
By the end of the day, you’ll have a new mindset: not just how to ask questions, but how to recognize needs, design intelligent workflows, and outsource operations to AI.
What You’ll Gain:
- A solid foundation in building real AI Agent workflows
- Experience with state-of-the-art tools like LangChain and Autogen
- Strategies for orchestrating multi-agent systems
- Knowledge of best practices in reasoning, grounding, and memory in LLMs
- Your own custom-built prototype of an AI Agent or Agent team
- Confidence to continue developing AI-powered systems for real-world tasks
