Beyond the Chat: Building AI That Can Act

​The interesting future of AI is not better chatbots, but systems where models can use tools, access context, and collaborate with other agents. In this session, we’ll explore what happens when AI can use tools, access real-world data, make decisions, and collaborate with other AI agents. We’ll unpack emerging concepts like agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication, and see how technology is bringing these ideas to life. Come ready to rethink AI, not as something you chat with, but as something that can reason, connect, and act.
