Build with AI Workshop: Conversational Agents
🚀 Join us for an exciting hands-on workshop exploring the future of intelligent AI agents with Nishi Ajmera, as we dive into building powerful conversational systems using Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) 🤖☁️
In this practical session, Nishi will guide you through designing, orchestrating, and connecting multiple AI agents that communicate and collaborate seamlessly using Agent-to-Agent (A2A) messaging and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ✨
Forget single-prompt bots, imagine agent ecosystems that reason, delegate, and work together in real time 💬
These agents don’t work in isolation. They share context, exchange messages, and adapt dynamically as tasks evolve, just like real teams 🧠🌍
Whether you’re building AI assistants, automation workflows, or next-generation products, this workshop will give you the foundations to create scalable, intelligent agent systems you can extend far beyond the session 🔥🛠️ What you’ll build & explore live:
- 💬 Conversational agents powered by Google’s Agent Development Kit
- 🔗 Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication for coordinated workflows
- 🧩 Multi-agent orchestration using Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- 🧠 Context sharing & memory for smarter, more consistent interactions
- ⚙️ Real-world patterns you can reuse in your own AI projects
🍕 And yes, food will be served, so come hungry, learn lots, and enjoy great conversations with the community!
Whether you’re a beginner, AI enthusiast, or experienced developer, this hands-on workshop will level up your understanding of modern agent-based AI and leave you with skills you can apply immediately 🔝
🤝 Come to learn, build, eat, and connect with fellow developers and AI builders, RSVP now to secure your spot!5 attendees
