Agent Fundamentals

​Ready to crack open an AI agent and see what makes it tick? Agent Fundamentals is a lively walkthrough of the core pieces behind agent systems, from the basic agent loop and state management to the open source nuvu-agent architecture. Hammad Khan will break it down in a way that feels approachable and practical, so you can go from “I’ve heard of agents” to “I can actually picture how this works.”

​You’ll also get a hands-on demo that brings the concepts to life. We’ll spin up a minimal nuvu-agent instance, try its built-in tools, register a custom @tool such as a simple string manipulator or local greeting tool, and run the classic Hello World invocation loop. If you want a clear starting point for building with agents, this session will give you a solid mental model and a fun first look under the hood.
