As AI agents become central to automating complex tasks and managing multi-step workflows, this hands-on session will equip you with the foundational skills to build and customize your own autonomous AI agents. Over the course of two hours, you’ll begin by creating a simple agent from scratch—without using any prebuilt frameworks—while exploring the core principles of agentic flows. Then, you'll transition the same logic into LangGraph, a modern framework for building stateful, multi-step AI agents. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a functional agent prototype and a practical understanding of how to structure prompts and extend agent behavior for real-world applications.
