Agentic AI Connect
Step into the next generation of Artificial Intelligence with Agentic AI Connect. This full-day, hands-on workshop is hosted by GDG on Campus JIS University and Machine Learning Kolkata.
Join students, developers, AI enthusiasts, and researchers to build AI systems that can use tools, retrieve information, communicate with other agents, and handle multi-step tasks.
Through coding sessions, live demos, quizzes, and group activities, you will work with Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent-to-Agent Communication, Multi-Agent Orchestration, and Agentic RAG.
Key Tech Focus: What We Will Cover
We will move beyond basic prompting and build practical agentic AI workflows:
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Build custom tools and connect AI models with external APIs, tools, and data.
- Agent-to-Agent Communication: Learn agent cards, task delegation, and messaging between agents.
- Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Combine semantic search, tools, and agent decision-making for retrieval-based AI systems.
- Full-Stack Agent Orchestration: Bring MCP, RAG, and multi-agent workflows together in a practical application.
Who Should Attend & Prerequisites
- Target Audience: ML engineers, software developers, AI researchers, and students interested in building AI agent systems.
- Prerequisites: Working knowledge of Python and basic Git/GitHub familiarity. Bring a laptop with Python and VS Code/Cursor installed.
