DSM-Firmenich | From experiments to virtual colleagues: Our first steps with AI Agents
AI agents promise to take us beyond simple prompting into a world where machines can reason, plan, and act. In this session, we’ll share our hands-on journey experimenting with AI agents, separating hype from reality. We’ll walk through how we got started, the use cases we explored, the tools and frameworks we tested, what worked (and what didn’t), and the key lessons we’ve learned along the way.
AWS | Guidance for building a Multi-Provider Generative AI Gateway on AWS
A generative AI gateway is a design pattern popular in enterprise settings which establishes a central gateway where developers can access foundation models from multiple providers. It includes features for access control, quota management, cost control, governance, and observability. This session will dive deep on a recommended architecture for building an AI gateway on AWS and provide a demo of the final result.
