Alvaro Silva-Santisteban, AI Solution Lead at Google, shares a practical view of building agentic systems, from choosing the right architecture to implementing trust, governance, and human-in-the-loop safeguards, along with a live demo of Google NotebookLM and Gemini Enterprise. AI agents are quickly moving from experimentation to real-world deployment, forcing teams to rethink how AI systems are designed, governed, and scaled. Drawing on real examples and live workflows, this session explores how organizations can move beyond demos to deploy agents that deliver reliable, business-ready impact. **Event Overview** As AI agents move into production, teams need systems that can reason, act, and be trusted. In this session, Alvaro Silva-Santisteban shares how agentic systems are designed in practice, from architecture to governance and deployment. **01 - Anatomy of an Agent** A practical breakdown of what actually makes an AI agent work. Alvaro deconstructs the core stack, the Brain (models), Memory (sessions and long-term context), and Hands (function calling and tools), and how these pieces come together to enable reasoning and action. **02 - Choosing the Right Agent Architecture** Not every problem needs the same kind of agent. Learn how to distinguish between retrieval-based agents and action-oriented agents, and how to align each approach to real business needs without over-engineering solutions. **03 - Live Demo** See an agentic workflow come to life using NotebookLM and Gemini Enterprise. Alvaro walks through how teams can structure information, prompt effectively, and guide outputs to support real decision-making, while applying human oversight to keep results accurate and trustworthy.

Apologies for any inconvenience.** This event takes place on Tuesday as Monday is a public holiday in the UK This talk will focus on a single question: ‘Where do you belong?’ The idea of ‘home’ reflects one of the deepest and most universal of human experiences. ‘Homes’ may be physical, emotional, intellectual or cultural – they reflect aspects of life with which we identify, where we feel comfortable (or challenged) and where we belong. They are a defiant response to our awareness of the vastness of space. From Diogenes and Buddha to Nietzsche and Heidegger, we’ll be looking at the experience of belonging, and exploring ways in which it shapes our thinking about the nature of self, ethics and politics. Over the last 50 years, **Mel Thompson** has written more than 40 books on philosophy and religion and is probably best known for the philosophy titles in the long-running ‘Teach Yourself’ series.

In our first meeting of May, we discuss Brandon Taylor's *Real Life.* Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2020, the novel was the much-lauded debut for the Alabama-born writer. 'Deftly zooming in and out of focus, *Real Life* is a deeply affecting story about the emotional cost of reckoning with desire, and overcoming pain.' (Book jacket) 'A campus novel told from the perspective of a Black student, Taylor’s powerful tale embraces themes of grief, desire and alienation in rich, eloquent prose.' -Waterstones https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46263943-real-life We will discuss the Real Life in the Real Greek - Bankside. So come along for some tasty Greek fare on a Sunday afternoon as we dive into this fascinating premier. N.B. We will be charging an event fee of £3, non-refundable, to discourage no-shows and contribute to the running costs of the group. Please only sign up if you intend to come along as space is limited to make for an effective discussion!
