AgentCon Video & Organiser Welcome
St.Joseph's Institute Of Technology - Admin Block - AV Hall 2 ·The Age of AI Agents
In this keynote, we’ll explore the rise of AI agents:
- What exactly are Agents? Are they just smarter bots or a new paradigm in AI?
- What kinds of Agents exist today, from low-code Copilot Studio flows to full-fledged multi-agent systems powered by Azure AI Foundry and running at the edge?
- How you can build, deploy, and extend agents today using Microsoft’s ecosystem, from templates to custom orchestration with your own data.
We’ll look at real-world use cases, edge-ready deployments, and how to responsibly build AI systems that work for you—even when you’re offline.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a fresh understanding of how Agents are not just the future of AI but your new teammates.
