Knowledge-augmented agents with LlamaIndex.TS
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (UTC)
LlamaIndex is known for making it easy to build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), but our frameworks also make it easy to build agents and multi-agent systems! In this session we'll introduce Workflows, our basic building block for building agentic systems, and build an agent that uses RAG and other tools.

Prompting is the New Scripting: Meet GenAIScript
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (UTC)
jQuery once made web development easier by abstracting away complexities, allowing developers to focus on building rather than battling browser quirks. Today, AI development faces a similar challenge. New patterns emerge constantly and keeping up can be overwhelming, especially as AI tools—especially agentic ones— become more powerful and complex. What if you could leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities to automate tasks using simple, familiar JavaScript abstractions? Enter GenAIScript—a way to integrate AI into your workflow effortlessly, treating prompts like reusable code snippets. In this talk, we’ll explore how GenAIScript makes AI automation agents feel as intuitive as writing JavaScript, helping you streamline repetitive work without the need for deep AI expertise.
