25 years after Agent Smith coined “Never send a human to do a machine’s job”, this futuristic idea seems closer than ever...

Not so long ago, AI was known for its ability to excel at specific tasks (“cat vs dog”), earning it the reputation of a specialist. However, with the advent of Large Language Models like OpenAI’s GPT, AI has transformed into a generalist, capable of writing naturally, answering questions, and even generating code. Despite facing limitations such as hallucinations, knowledge cutoffs, and struggles with basic math, these AI systems have opened up a world of possibilities.

Today, the next frontier in AI development are AI agents. By combining the power of LLMs with advanced capabilities such as planning, reflection, and tool use, AI agents are becoming the “jack-of-all-trades” in the tech world. Drawing inspiration from human cognition, AI Agents can accomplish complex goals, thinking and acting much like us humans. Join us as we explore agentic workflows and discuss the role of developers in guiding AI agents and shaping the future of AI. We’ll get familiar with the world of AI agents, and understand their potential to revolutionize the way we work and interact with technology, ultimately allowing humans (and developers 😉) to focus on the bigger picture.
