Agentic AI Unleashed: Live Coding an AI That Thinks, Acts, and Talks to Your Backend
AI chatbots are no longer just about answering questions—they can now think, reason, and take action. In this live coding session, we’ll harness the power of agentic AI to build an autonomous chatbot that connects to your backend, interacts with APIs, and executes real-world tasks.
What you’ll see in action:
✅ Live coding from scratch – No pre-recorded demos, just real-time AI-assisted development.
✅ Smol-Agents and AI reasoning – How to create an AI agent that processes requests intelligently.
✅ Backend integration – Connecting AI to your APIs, databases, and services to make it truly useful.
✅ Multi-step decision-making – Teaching AI to plan and execute complex actions.
✅ Deploying in minutes – By the end of the session, we’ll have a fully functional, autonomous AI chatbot ready to plug into a real-world system.
This session is perfect for developers, AI enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the future of agentic AI. Join us for an unscripted, high-energy live coding experience—because AI isn’t just answering questions anymore, it’s getting things done
Unleashing the Potential of AI with AutoGen 4.0 in C#: Practical Examples for Businesses
In this session, we will explore how businesses can use C# and AutoGen 4.0, an open-source project from Microsoft, to tap into the vast potential of AI.
