Tech Talk: The Architecture Behind Self-Evolving AI Agents
Speaker: Chris Latimer (Vectorize)
Abstract: Every agent framework today treats memory as an afterthought, stuff some documents in a vector database, retrieve chunks, hope for the best. The result is agents that are perpetually starting from zero. They don't learn from experience. They don't notice patterns. But real intelligence requires more than retrieval. It requires learning.
In this talk, I'll show how we built Hindsight, an open-source agent memory system that gives agents the ability to learn and improve on their own over time.

Google Build with AI Series (Waterloo) - Production-Ready Multimodal Agents

Fri, Feb 27 · 10:00 AM EST

Location not specified yet

Important: Register on the event website is required for admission.(RSVP is turned off on meetup)

Description:
Join Google Cloud for the agentic AI bootcamp to learn how to build production-ready AI and multimodal agents.

The ‘Next’ – Capturing Innovation
The era of the text-only chatbot is evolving. Focus on the bleeding edge of AI: Multimodality. We’ll explore how to build intelligent agents that can see, hear, and respond to the world in real-time, creating immersive experiences that feel more human than ever before.

What to Expect:

• - Multimodal Gemini Agents: Coordinate agents to analyze video and audio while maintaining character consistency across multi-turn image generation.
• - Intelligence Beyond RAG: Move past simple retrieval with hybrid search, context engineering, and multi-agent pipelines.
• - Real-Time Live Interaction: Build low-latency, interruptible agents that "see" and "hear" using the Gemini Live API and bidirectional streaming.

Who Should Attend?
This hands-on workshop is designed for software developers, data scientists, and AI practitioners who have some experience building applications or working with models, and are looking to productionize them. To get the most out of the labs, you should have foundational knowledge of a programming language like Python and be comfortable using the command-line interface. While expertise is not required, a basic understanding of Cloud computing concepts, web APIs, and containerization technology like Docker will be highly beneficial.

To participate, you must bring your own laptop and power cable. The activities are intended for laptops and cannot be completed on a tablet or phone.

Tech Talk: Agentic RAG with Vector Search 2.0 and ADK
Speaker: Kaz Sato (Google)
Abstract: Build a production-ready Agentic RAG system in minutes. This session shows how to combine Vertex AI Vector Search 2.0's auto-embeddings and hybrid search with ADK's reasoning layer. Using a travel agent demo, you'll learn to parse natural language into semantic queries and structured filters—transforming a simple search API into an AI assistant that understands intent and orchestrates searches.
