Agenda

17:30 – 18:00 | Gathering & Networking

• Welcome and networking with fellow AI and cloud professionals.
• Refreshments and introductions.

18:00 – 18:10 | Opening Notes

🎤 Host: Alon Fliess, CTO, ZioNet

• Introduction to Global AI Day and the Azure Israel Community.
• Overview of the event agenda.
• The importance of AI agents, LLMs, and vector databases in modern applications.

18:10 – 19:00 | Session 1: Building AI Agents with Semantic Kernel

🎤 Speaker: Venya Brodetskiy, Architect, ZioNet

The rise of AI-driven assistants and AI co-pilots is reshaping how developers and businesses interact with technology. Semantic Kernel is key in enabling such AI agents, providing a powerful orchestration layer to integrate LLMs, memory, and external APIs efficiently.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ Introduction to Semantic Kernel and its capabilities
✅ How to design and implement intelligent AI agents
✅ Lessons learned from building a real-world AI co-pilot
✅ Challenges and solutions in LLM inference, retrieval, and workflow automation
✅ Best practices for integrating AI-driven agents into applications

💡 Takeaway: Gain a practical understanding of Semantic Kernel, its strengths, and what it takes to bring an AI agent to production successfully.

19:00 – 19:15 | Break (15 min)

• Refreshments and networking.

19:15 – 20:05 | Session 2: Integrating LangChain, FAISS, and SQL Server for LLM Querying

🎤 Speaker: Haim Gilboa

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a crucial pattern for improving LLM responses by integrating structured and unstructured data. This session will showcase how LangChain, FAISS, and SQL Server can be combined to build AI-powered search and query systems for enterprise applications.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ Overview of LangChain and its role in LLM orchestration
✅ Introduction to FAISS – optimizing vector search for large-scale applications
✅ Using SQL Server as both a structured and vector database
✅ Building an intelligent query pipeline: from natural language to SQL & vector search
✅ Live Demo: Querying SQL Server with natural language, leveraging vector embeddings for accurate retrieval

💡 Takeaway: Learn how to enhance LLM-based applications with structured data from SQL Server and FAISS-based vector search, improving response accuracy and real-world usability.

20:10 – 20:30 | Q&A Panel with Speakers

🎤 Panelists: Venya Brodetskiy, Haim Gilboa, and Alon Fliess

• Open discussion on AI agent development, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and best practices.
• Audience questions on Semantic Kernel, LangChain, FAISS, and real-world AI applications.
