Next-Level AI: From Multi-Agent Systems to Managed Endpoints

We are welcome at the office of Cegeka in Zoetermeer with an evening of AI:
AI is moving fast—from building smarter applications with multiple collaborating agents to keeping control over cost, access, and responsible use.

In this meetup, you’ll first learn how to secure, optimize, and govern your AI services using Azure API Management.
Then we’ll dive into designing multi-agent systems with Azure AI Foundry, orchestrated through Semantic Kernel for powerful and scalable solutions. A practical evening full of insights and demos to help you scale AI solutions with confidence.

Manage your AI Endpoints with Azure API Management

By using Azure OpenAI or other tools you’ve created valuable business systems. But complaints are arriving at your desk of people using the systems for useless things and the costs are getting higher than expected. When working with generative AI tools like OpenAI services it’s important to manage the usage. Not only should the access be protected but especially when using tools with a pay-as-you-go model it’s important to keep a grip on how they are used. In this talk I will show what can be done on a management level to have more control over your AI usage and spend. Besides that I will also demonstrate how this can be implemented by using API Management. Do you want to know what controls you can put in place on your AI systems? Or do you want to know how to implement things like content-filters, token based throttling or caching? Join this talk and find out how to do this!

Speaker Bio's:
Leo Visser
Since 2012 I’ve been working in the field of IT in different positions. Now I am the product lead Automation + AI for the transformation department of OGD ict-diensten. I’m responsible for the propositions regarding Power Platform, AI and Automation. Besides that I also consult a multitude of customers about these topics and their cloud platforms. Due to this broad range of topics I work with on a daily basis, I’ve developed a passion for connecting them all together. When I’m not working on improving specific systems I’m looking into how the systems can work together to create even more value. I also write on my blog https://www.autosysops.com about the solutions I find.
