This session empowers you to leverage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graphs, and agent based architectures to engineer truly intelligent behavior. By combining large language models (LLMs) with up to date information retrieval and structured knowledge,
Session Details
AI agents addresses the challenge of complex scenario that not only generates text but also grounds its responses in real data and takes action. This session empowers you to leverage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graphs, and agent based architectures to engineer truly intelligent behavior. By combining large language models (LLMs) with up to date information retrieval and structured knowledge, you'll create AI agents capable of deeper reasoning and more reliable problem-solving. Inside, you'll find a practical roadmap from concept to implementation. You’ll discover how to connect language models with external data via RAG pipelines for increasing factual accuracy and incorporate knowledge graphs for context-rich reasoning.
3 things you'll get out of this session
Learn how LLMs work, their structure, uses, and limits, and design RAG pipelines to link them to external data
Build and query knowledge graphs for structured context and factual grounding
Develop AI agents that plan, reason, and use tools to complete tasks
Integrate LLMs with external APIs and databases to incorporate live data
Apply techniques to minimize hallucinations and ensure accurate outputs
Orchestrate multiple agents to solve complex, multi-step problems
Optimize prompts, memory, and context handling for long-running tasks
Deploy and monitor AI agents in production environments
