Session
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have transformed the AI landscape, becoming an integral part of our daily workflows. Now, a new wave of AI innovation is emerging: AI agents. These agents go beyond static responses - they can reason, take actions, use tools, and solve multi-step problems, often with minimal human guidance. This evolution is driven by advancements like tool use and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which enable models to interact with real-world environments. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to build practical, task-oriented AI agents.
