Mini-Workshops 2025
A to Z of Building AI Agents - {MongoDB}
In this 2 hour workshop, participants will build an agentic learning assistant that helps them learn about certain topics by answering questions and summarizing relevant articles. We will use MongoDB as the agent's memory and knowledge store, open-source LLMs as the agent’s “brain”, and LangGraph to orchestrate the end-to-end agentic workflow.
Building with Google AI Studio, Gemini API and Gemma - {Google Deep Mind}
Learn to build AI applications with Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and Gemma in this hands-on workshop. Led by Google DeepMind experts, you'll explore best practices and practical implementations to accelerate your AI projects.
Ten Product Management Lessons in Deploying Enterprise Gen AI - {DS Dojo}
This short workshop is designed for anyone considering building LLM products from scratch. At the end of this workshop, the participants will have a solid understanding of the end-to-end lifecycle of an enterprise LLM application and the challenges they will face during the product development process.
