Last week we covered the building blocks. This week we put them together. Morgan and Raf tackle the real-world problems that show up the moment you try to make an agent useful: memory that survives a restart, context windows that overflow, models that ignore instructions, and humans that need to stay in the loop. They'll walk through conversation management, session persistence, Agent SOPs for reliability, hooks for human escalation, and steering to keep agents on track. Expect live code, honest debugging, and a preview of what's coming in episode 3 when everything moves to the cloud.
What you'll Learn:
• Learn how to manage agent state, conversation history, and session persistence using built-in Strands SDK conversation and session managers
• Apply live coding techniques to build a functional AI agent application locally, including context window management and rolling summarization strategies
Who Should Attend? Developers, AI/ML Engineers, Solutions Architects, Cloud Engineers, Technical Decision Makers
