Traditional chatbots can answer questions, but modern AI applications require systems that can reason, plan, use tools, and autonomously execute tasks. In this session, we'll explore how AI is evolving from simple conversational interfaces to intelligent agents capable of solving real-world problems.

Using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), we'll build production-ready AI agents that can interact with external tools, perform multi-step reasoning, maintain context, and orchestrate complex workflows. Attendees will learn the core concepts behind agentic systems, including tool calling, memory, planning, and multi-agent architectures.

The session will include a live demonstration showcasing how to design, develop, and deploy AI agents that move beyond chat and deliver meaningful business value. We'll also discuss best practices, common challenges, observability, security considerations, and lessons learned from building AI-powered applications in production.
