Agentic AI - Building Agents for Real-World Applications

Join AWS & Skai for an evening dedicated to one of the most exciting frontiers in GenAI: Agentic AI for real‑world, production‑grade applications. Expect cutting‑edge insights, deep technical exploration, live demos — and of course, there will be pizza, beers, and great conversations.

We’ll break down how to design, build, and operate AI agents at scale through a real case study: Celeste AI, the GenAI Marketing Agent built for Commerce Media. Celeste AI already powers hundreds of brands and agencies, delivering up to 50% higher operational efficiency and 20% stronger performance.

From there, we’ll dive into the architecture behind agent‑based systems, including multi‑agent collaboration patterns — the same concepts behind tools like Claude Code (sub‑agents, agent teams, orchestration flows) — but implemented with full transparency and control. We’ll demonstrate these patterns in action using AWS Strands, a popular, code‑first open‑source agentic framework.

To wrap up, we’ll explore what it really takes to bring agents to production: scaling, security, observability, operations, and evaluation. You’ll see how Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and its nine modular enterprise‑grade services streamline the entire lifecycle from prototype to production.
