**Topic: Engineering AI Agentic Systems: Decisions, Tradeoffs, and Production Reality** Agenda: 6:00 PM – Networking and refreshments 6:30 PM – Presentation commences 7:15 PM – Q&A 7:30 PM – Networking and refreshments 8:00 PM – Event concludes **Abstract:** Everyone can get an agent working in a weekend. Shipping one to production is a different problem. This talk is a systems engineering lens on agentic AI, starting from the moment a single LLM call becomes a decision loop through the architectural tradeoffs that determine whether it survives contact with reality. We'll cover the control spectrum between deterministic workflows and autonomous agent loops, multi-agent coordination, state management, and what a real control plane looks like beyond rate limiting and logging.We'll also cover the failure modes that don't appear in demos: runaway costs, missing stopping conditions, and observability gaps. You'll leave with a framework that treats human-in-the-loop design, model selection, and control plane engineering as first-class architectural decisions, because agentic systems are not prompt engineering problems. They are systems engineering problems.

We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
