**Main event**
Since the emergence of Gen AI, it's become obvious that agents will be a big part of our future as both technologists and citizens. Building predictable, safe, manageable, testable agents that integrate with existing enterprise systems is critically important to us all.

In this session, Rod Johnson will show how JVM developers can be central to unlocking the business value of agentic AI, using the Embabel agent framework ([https://github.com/embabel/embabel-agent](https://github.com/embabel/embabel-agent)).

Embabel is an innovative framework for Java and Kotlin developers, seamlessly integrated with Spring. Built in Kotlin, it aims not to play catchup with Python frameworks like Crew AI, but to leapfrog them to be the best agent framework, period.

Embabel innovates in several ways. It introduces a planning step that maximizes autonomy while maintaining determinism and safety. It is type safe, ensuring excellent toolability and avoiding errors in prompts. It enables developers to use a rich domain model, defining not just types but behavior exposed to user code and to LLMs as tools.

This will be a hands on talk. Rod will show the power of agents built on Embabel and how Java and Kotlin developers (especially if they know Spring) can start building agents immediately, using their existing skill set and established best practices.

Takeaway: Your employer's Gen AI strategy just got a lot closer to reality.
