Mastering Intelligent Agents: A Deep Dive into Agentic AI
23 August 2025 | 09:30AM - 05:30PM
About the workshop
New to the world of Agentic AI and want to quickly get proficient in the key aspects of learning, building, deploying and monitoring Agentic AI Systems? This is the workshop for you! In this workshop you will get a comprehensive coverage of the breadth as well as deep dive into the depth of the vast world of Agentic AI Systems. Over the course of six modules, you will spend the entire day focusing on the following key areas:
- Learn essential concepts of Generative AI, Agentic AI and Agentic RAG Systems
- Deep dive into industry standard design patterns for architecting Agentic AI Systems - Tool-Use, Reflection, Planning, Multi-Agent
- Leverage Industry-Standard frameworks including LangChain, LangGraph and CrewAI to build simple and advanced Agentic AI & Agentic RAG Systems
- Learn basics of how to deploy Agentic AI Systems as APIs as well as debug and monitor them
While we want to keep the discussions as framework and tool-agnostic as possible, since 90% of the workshop will be hands-on focused; we will be using LangChain and LangGraph (currently the leading framework used in the industry) for most of the hands-on demos for building Agents and also a bit of CrewAI. While the focus of the workshop is more on building Agentic AI Systems we will also showcase how you can build a basic web service or API on top of an Agent using FastAPI and deploy and monitor it using frameworks like LangFuse or Arize AI Phoenix.
Important Note: You may need to register for some platforms like Tavily, WeatherAPI etc for the workshop (no billing needed), we will send the instructions ahead of time. That will be essential for running the hands-on code demos live along with the instructor in the session.
Additional Points
- Prerequisites: Solid understanding of Python, NLP and Generative AI will be useful
- Content Provided: Slides, complete code notebooks, datasets
- Infrastructure: Most of the hands-on demos we will do on Google Colab for the deployment and monitoring section we will provide the cloud infrastructure (either Colab or Runpod.io).
*Note: These are tentative details and are subject to change.
