You don’t need a PHD to build with AI Agents

AI has taken the world by storm in recent years, with advancements in machine learning models, large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and vector databases dominating the conversation. But recently, the buzz has shifted toward AI agents—intelligent, autonomous systems that can reason, plan, and take action.

Are we on the verge of an AI revolution? Should we expect an army of “Men in Black”?

In this session, we’ll demystify AI agents: what they are, the real-world problems they solve, and how they are built. More importantly, we’ll dive into how you can integrate AI agents into your applications—without needing a PhD in machine learning.

This talk will cover both the theory behind AI agents and a live-coding session to show how you can implement them in your own projects. Whether you're an experienced AI developer or just getting started, you'll leave with practical insights and code samples to incorporate AI Agents into your projects.
