Building agents with Vertex AI

​Ready to dive into the cutting-edge world of Web3?

​🎯 What You’ll Learn Join Jordan for a practical, hands-on exploration of Vertex AI Agents, Google’s end-to-end platform for building production-ready AI agents with tool-calling, memory, planning, and secure execution.

​This session will take you from zero → deployed agent, covering everything from environment setup to designing multi-step logic, integrating tools, and running the agent against real data.

​We’ll explore:

• ​Installing and setting up a Vertex AI project

• ​Overview of Vertex AI’s Agent Framework (tools, prompts, flows, safety)

• ​Building your first agent with structured tool-calling

• ​Connecting agents to external APIs, databases, and cloud functions

• ​Using Vertex AI’s planner for multi-step reasoning

• ​Integrating long-term memory & contextual state

• ​Deploying agents securely through Vertex AI endpoints

• ​Testing, tracing, and debugging your agent in real-time
