The One About AI Agents VI (ft. Huawei & Cohere)
What does it take to build AI agents that actually get things done? Join practitioners from Huawei and Cohere as they share how they're building agents that browse, code, and work across enterprise data and tools. Through live demos and technical walkthroughs, explore the different approaches behind agent development today.
More About the Sharings
Xiang Xiaoneng & Chia Kwang Yang (AI Engineers, Huawei) will share on "Building Web and Coding Agents with openJiuwen"
Explore how Web and Coding Agents are built using the open-source openJiuwen framework. Xiaoneng and Kwang Yang will demo how their Web Agent automates browser interactions such as clicking, scrolling, and browsing to complete end-to-end tasks, including a hotel booking, and dive into the underlying principles behind how it works.
They'll also introduce openJiuwen's Coding Agent, built on their Coordination Engineering framework. Rather than relying on a single agent, the system uses multiple agents to model the software development process. Hear more about the technical mechanics behind this approach and how it has performed on benchmarks such as Terminal Bench. (Technical Level: 200)
Chris Campbell & Brandon Chew (Cohere) will share on "From Prototype to Production: Building Agents with Cohere North"
Chris returns to Lorong AI to share what the team has been building over the past year, including a walkthrough of North, Cohere's platform for sovereign agentic AI.
Brandon will demo how North has been applied to enterprise use cases across Singapore and ASEAN, showing how teams can rapidly build and deploy agents that connect to their own data and tools, reason over complex workflows, and turn raw information into action. (Technical Level: 200)
