Smart Agent Design - Building Agents with ADK and Ollama 🤖💻

Not every problem needs an AI agent. Join us for a deep dive into building AI agents that actually make sense—going beyond the hype to understand when, why, and how to deploy intelligent systems effectively.

What You'll Learn:

• 🎯 When to use agents (spoiler: not for 2+2)—understanding the right problems for agentic AI
• 🏗️ Agent Design Kit (ADK): patterns and architectures for building robust agents
• 🔧 Agent types: from simple task automation to complex multi-agent orchestration
• 🐋 Local models with Ollama: integrating open-source LLMs into your agent workflows
• 🌐 Open-source stack: building production-ready agents without vendor lock-in

Format: This session combines theory and practice:

• 📊 Conceptual overview with slides
• 💻 Live demos and code walkthroughs
• 🛠️ Hands-on patterns you can apply immediately

Who Should Attend: Developers, ML engineers, and tech enthusiasts interested in practical AI development. Whether you're building your first agent or optimising existing systems, you'll leave with concrete strategies for purposeful AI deployment.
Prerequisites: Basic programming knowledge. Familiarity with Python and LLMs is helpful but not required.
