Join us for a highly practical\, instructor-led workshop on building AI agents\, presented in p artnership with MongoDB.\n\nIn this hands-on session\, attendees will expl ore core concepts such as reasoning\, tool utilization\, and memory\, alon gside various agent architectures. Participants will build a functional\, AI-powered technical documentation assistant. This agent will utilize Mong oDB as its memory and knowledge store\, rely on a supported Large Language Model (such as Claude\, Gemini\, or GPT)\, and leverage LangGraph to orch estrate the end-to-end workflow.\n\nNote: Complimentary catering (includin g vegetarian options) will be provided during the initial networking sessi on so attendees are fueled up for the technical content.\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\n-\nFoundational Concepts: Understand AI agent orchestration\, rea soning\, tools\, and memory.\n\n-\nArchitecture Patterns: Explore common u se cases alongside diverse agent architecture patterns.\n\n-\nPractical Ap plication: Build an AI-powered documentation assistant using LangGraph and MongoDB.\n\n-\nDatabase Integration: Effectively utilize MongoDB as a vec tor store\, knowledge base\, and memory provider for agentic applications. \n\nPrerequisites & Requirements\n\n-\nHardware: A personal laptop is stri ctly required for the hands-on exercises (Wi-Fi will be provided at the ve nue).\n\n-\nEnvironment Access: Participants must be able to access Instru qt and a browser-based workshop environment.\n\n-\nExperience: Basic famil iarity with Python and Jupyter Notebooks is highly recommended\, though no t strictly required.\n\nEvent Agenda\n\nTime Session Details\n6:00 PM – 6:30 PM Networking & Dinner Grab food\, settle in\, and connect with fello w professionals.\n6:30 PM – 6:40 PM Welcome & Setup Introductions\, goal s\, participant setup\, and access checks.\n6:40 PM – 7:05 PM Agent Foun dations Dive into use cases\, architecture\, reasoning\, tools\, and memor y.\n7:05 PM – 8:00 PM Guided Hands-On Build Develop the technical docume ntation assistant.\n8:00 PM – 8:30 PM Wrap-Up & Q&A Review key concepts\ , next steps\, and attendee Q&A.\nEarn Your Skill Badge\n\nAttendees will be invited to test their learning at the end of the session to complete th e AI Agents with MongoDB Skill Badge.
