Cover Image for PyAI @ AIE London Meetup

Presented by

AI runs on Python — the models, the agents, the systems going to production. PyAI brings together engineers, founders, and technical leaders to share what's working, what's not, and what's next.

A Practical Guide to Agentic Coding

AI Agents have become increasingly good at generating code. Developers who know how to use agentic tools as they program can increase their productivity significantly. In this session, Marlene Mhangami shares how she gets the most out of agents in her development workflow using Pydantic AI and GitHub Copilot in the CLI and VS Code. She'll walk through how she uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), Agent Skills and Instructions to create semi-autonomous agents that can complete multi-step tasks end-to-end. We'll walk through practical, Python code that leverages MCP, custom agents and skills to:

Build Custom agents in code and with an agents.md file
Work with the M365 suite to get Outlook emails
Validate code changes with the Playwright MCP server

This talk is a hands-on case study of agentic coding in action — showing the core mental model (planning + tool use + validation), effective patterns with today's SDKs, common pitfalls, and how these techniques apply to dev workflows.

Controlling the wild: from tool calling to computer use

There's a continuum from traditional tool calling through to full computer use, with interesting options at every point along it. This talk is about one particular answer: Monty, a sandboxed Python interpreter built for AI agents.
