About this session: Artificial intelligence agents are everywhere—from chatbots and virtual assistants to autonomous systems making decisions on behalf of users. But what exactly is an "AI agent," and how does it differ from other AI models and systems? In this talk, we’ll demystify the concept of AI agents, exploring the core components that define them, their unique capabilities, and how they interact with users and environments in real time. We’ll break down popular AI agent frameworks, illustrate how agents can autonomously complete complex tasks by integrating with APIs and tools, and share insights into the latest advancements in agent intelligence. Join us to get a foundational understanding of AI agents, how they work under the hood, and the future they’re shaping across industries.
