Session 08: Teaching AI to Work

Building AI That Can Plan, Coordinate, and Act About the Event Giving AI access to tools is an important step. But real-world tasks are rarely completed in a single action. An intelligent system may need to search for information, analyse the results, use different tools, make decisions, recover from errors, and sometimes ask a human for approval before moving forward. In this session, we take the next step from individual AI tools to intelligent workflows. Building on the tools, search systems, and MCP connections developed in previous sessions, we explore how multiple AI components can work together to complete larger, multi-step tasks. Participants will learn how modern AI systems manage tasks, maintain context, coordinate different capabilities, and keep humans in control when important decisions need approval. What We'll Cover The Hands-On Codelab: Building an Intelligent AI Workflow Bring your laptop and get ready to build. In this practical workshop, participants will: By the end of the session, participants will have built an intelligent workflow capable of breaking down tasks, using multiple tools, coordinating different AI capabilities, and involving humans when necessary.
