The Year of AI Agents

AI is entering a new phase.

We are moving beyond copilots that assist users, toward AI Agents that can reason, plan, act, and collaborate — independently and alongside humans. 2026 is shaping up to be the Year of AI Agents, and this Global AI Community Dubai meetup explores what that means in the real world.

In this meetup, we’ll discuss how agent-based AI is transforming modern work, automation, and application design across Microsoft’s AI ecosystem. From intelligent workflows to multi-agent systems, AI agents are becoming a foundational capability for how work gets done.

This meetup is designed for

• Developers building AI-powered applications and agent workflows
• IT professionals integrating, governing, and scaling AI agents
• Business leaders exploring real productivity and automation outcomes from AI

Agenda

• Ahmad Uzair: Build and extend agent experiences with Copilot Studio
• Ritvij Sharma: Agent Architecture for the Real World: Chaos on Production
• Noman Sadiq: Building a Knowledge Base with Amazon Bedrock
• Venkatesh Yellampalli: Enhancing Financial Operations with AI and Copilot Features in Dynamics 365 Finance
