Applied AI Summit
Free online conference | October 14-16, 2025Building Smart Helpers with Agentic AI
As artificial intelligence evolves, we’re moving beyond simple chatbots and command-based tools toward intelligent agents that can understand goals, make decisions, and take action—just like a helpful assistant. This session explores how to build these “smart helpers” using Agentic AI. We’ll break down the core concepts in plain language, walk through real-world examples, and show how Large Language Models (LLMs), memory, planning, and tool use come together to create agents that can automate tasks, solve problems, and collaborate with humans. Whether you’re a developer, product thinker, or just curious about the future of AI, this talk will help you understand how Agentic AI works—and how to start building with it.
