In this discussion you'll learn how to go beyond Copilot with the use of AI Agents.
In this talk, we'll discuss the concept of AI Agents in general and what is needed to realize those agents. We will then dive deeper into how they can be applied specifically to coding to make your everyday life easier. And we'll finish off with some examples of the ways you can incorporate such agents into your workflow already right after this talk.
