**Speaker:** Michael Irwin, Principal Engineer at Docker

**Talk Abstract**:
Agentic systems can use models and tools to perform many different types of tasks. However, many of them are launched by a user opening a browser tab to a chatbot and entering a prompt that then initiates the action. While that's still valid, it is quite limiting. What if we can go further?
In this talk, we're going to take a real-life scenario in which PRs are opened for training/workshop repos with completed work and create an agent that will analyze the PRs to determine if it can be automatically closed. To automate the process, we'll connect the agent to GitHub webhooks. We'll walk through the steps - from model and tool selection to writing the code to final packaging. You'll be introduced to some of Docker's tooling, including the Docker Model Runner and MCP Gateway.

**Speaker Bio**:
Michael Irwin has been a developer for \~20 years and has been a part of the container space since 2016, from meetup organizer/presenter to Kubernetes platform architect to recognized Docker Captain. In early 2022, he made the jump to join Docker where he gets to use his energy and passion to help make development easier for all and break down complex concepts into simpler ideas.
